Abstract

Studi ini meneliti penggambaran ketimpangan kelas sosial dalam film Snowpiercer, yang disutradarai oleh Bong Joon-ho. Berlatar di masa depan dystopian di mana sisa-sisa terakhir umat manusia berada di atas kereta yang terus bergerak, film ini berfungsi sebagai mikrokosmos masyarakat, yang secara mencolok terbagi berdasarkan kelas. Kaum elit hidup mewah di gerbong depan, sementara massa yang miskin menanggung kondisi yang keras di gerbong belakang. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dan analisis konten, studi ini secara sistematis menafsirkan adegan, dialog, dan interaksi karakter untuk mengungkap representasi ketimpangan kelas sosial. Studi ini mengidentifikasi lima kategori ketimpangan yang berbeda yang digambarkan dalam film: borjuis, proletariat, pemilik properti, kelas pekerja, dan kelas komersial. Lebih jauh, studi ini mengeksplorasi implikasi sosial yang lebih luas dari ketimpangan ini, seperti konsentrasi kekayaan, erosi lembaga demokrasi, keresahan sosial, dan dampak lingkungan lingkungan terhadap hasil individu.

 

This study examines the portrayal of social class inequality in the film Snowpiercer, directed by Bong Joon-ho. Set in a dystopian future where the last remnants of humanity exist aboard a perpetually moving train, the film serves as a microcosm of society, starkly divided by class. The elite live luxuriously in the front carriages, while the impoverished masses endure harsh conditions in the rear. Utilizing a qualitative methods and content analysis, the study systematically interprets scenes, dialogues, and character interactions to uncover representations of social class inequality. It identifies five distinct categories of inequality depicted in the film: the bourgeoisie, proletariat, property owners, working class, and commercial class. Furthermore, the study explores the broader societal implications of these inequalities, such as wealth concentration, the erosion of democratic institutions, social unrest, and the impact of neighborhood environments on individual outcomes.
