Marxism in Movies

It took me a long time but the only movie that comes to mind is the movie Coming To America it keeps popping into my head. The movie is based on something that probably wouldn’t happen in real life but it does seem interesting. It is about a prince named Akeem who comes to Queens to find a wife because he is unsatisfied with his arranged marriage. He assimilates himself with the lower class so he is able to find a woman who loves him for who he is. He even gets a job at McDowell’s and there is this one part that I am thinking about where he meets another employee there preparing lettuce. The employee tells him about the hierarchy where you start at the bottom as a janitor and if you work hard you will gradually go up. You will then prepare the lettuce or tomatoes, then fries, then burgers, then cashier, etc. The owner of McDowell’s keeps telling Akeem throughout most of the film if you work hard maybe one day you will be like me and have all this stuff. Many of the rich people in this movie were very snobbish and don’t treat lower class people that good. It was mainly three people the King, Mr. McDowell, and Darryl who was Mr. McDowell’s daughter’s boyfriend.
I don’t know if this was an appropriate movie to pick because It is pretty hard to explain things if you didn’t see the movie. I don’t know if this is relevant but I recall a time in class where we said the only way for people to become equal is if like the upper-class give up what they have or something like that. At the end of the movie the prince asked his wife if she wanted him to give up the throne and she refused. I just thought that was an interesting fact because the truth is no one wants to give up what they have. Then there are a couple of scenes on the King where he is hegemonic. He tells everyone what to do through out the film until the end where Akeem disobeys him and I guess you could say that he revolted against him. There are many other Marxist things that happened in the film as well but I am unable to remember exact details about things.
