I hate to interject, but I do virulently disagree with this statement.
First, becuase the vast majority of Americans are monetarily in the middle
class: second, becuase the class "system" as such is actually based on
transportation and parking, not where you live (if you own your own
business, house, car, and garage, but only make 30 or 40 grand a year,
you're a first class citizen who has fulfilled the "American Dream");
third, becuase this statement is essentially Audience Analysis, making
assumptions about who likes or dislikes a particular kind of film based on
an artificial concept of "class" imported from feudal society; and finally
becuase a lot of the people I know who aren't in the middle or upper
classes by any definition hate and fear films that lie to them by telling
them that everything is going to work out just fine in the end.
Just one man's opinion. Not terribly relevant, I suppose.
