An obvious choice is _Do The Right Thing_, but it's more concerned with gettin' at The Man than in any socio-strucutral analysis. Paul Schrader's _Blue Collar_ is an excellent strucutural analysis of the labor/class problem. It avoids the "Great Man" (if you'll excuse the expression) to a similar problem in say, _Norma Rae_. Frears' _Sammi and Rosie Get Laid_ and _My Beautiful Laundrette_, both collaborations with Hanif Kureishi, have some interesting intersections of labor/race/class. _Salt of the Earth_ also has an interesting look at labor unrest. For an indictment of labor, try _That's Alright, Jack_, in which a member of the leisure class "comically" has to slum with labor. I guess my tendencies here, not surprisingly, are toward British film, which often seems to have a much more acute sense of the connectedness of human experience vs. the individuation of American film. arthur On Mon, 5 Dec 1994, Chrys Ingraham wrote: > We are planning a film series for spring which deals with social issues > and need suggestions for popular films, preferably recent ones, which > deal with issues of class in some respect, e.g., labor, capitalism, class > discrimination... > Can anyone offer suggestions as to what might be good for this series? > Thanks....Chrys Ingraham > Russell Sage College > Sociology > Ingraham@albnyvms >
