Parasite (2019) how it engages with power structures

For this paper, you will use all your analytical skills to make an argument about one of the following contemporary films/TV shows and what it is suggesting about power dynamics based on class, race, sexuality, and/or gender. More specifically, your thesis should put forward a nuanced view of how it engages with power structures through the making of what we will call “hegemony”.
consider the following questions:

What is the film/show suggesting about power dynamics (what is its subtextual argument about power, how it is formed, how it is maintained, etc.)?
How does the film/show challenge or reinforce dominant viewpoints regarding nationality, race, class, gender, sexuality, etc.?
How does the film/show reflect the intersections of power or disempowerment (meaning, how are class and race, or race and gender, or gender and class, or a combination of more than two of these, etc. interrelated in the film or show)? What does the film or show suggest about the relationship between these different identity markers and their connection to power or disempowerment?
How does the film/show make an argument about the way that ideologies are formed? In what ways might its presentation of power be flawed or even harmful?
You must fully introduce, quote from, and fluidly integrate your primary source and five additional sources in this paper.

To support your argument about the film or to episodes of a series, which will be your PRIMARY source and should be the focus on analysis throughout the entire paper, you will also integrate 5 additional secondary sources. YOU WILL HAVE 6 to 7 SOURCES TOTAL!
Three of the Unit 3 theory sources (Du Bois, Marx, Baldwin, de Beauvoir, Said, Foucault, Althusser, or Lull) must be used. The other two secondary sources must be peer-reviewed academic journal articles about the issues you are discussing in the paper. For example, if you are looking at how The Boys depicts race and power, you can find journal articles on race and power in modern America or on how the show itself depicts these issues; if you are looking at how The Handmaid’s Tale depicts gender, sex, sexuality, and power, you can find journal articles on modern power dynamics related to sex and gender or on the show itself (do not confuse the show with the book, though–make sure that if you use sources on the show that they are in fact about the show itself and not the book alone).

Do not use any other sources. Reviews or popular articles from general websites will not be accepted. In addition to the course readings, you must use two peer-reviewed academic journal articles (you can find these in JSTOR or EBSCO or another comparable database with peer-reviewed journal materials).
Near the end of the introduction, you will answer the thesis question that follows:

What is the film arguing about the establishment, reproduction, and/or maintenance of power based on specific identity markers, such as class, race, gender, sexuality, or intersections of these?
Note: the title of the film MUST be in the thesis statement.
