The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) has to be up there. Literally glorifies the stock market and presents a finance bro job as the key to happiness. There's a scene near the start where Will Smith is outside the NYSE looking at all the suits going in and out and narrating how he was inspired by how happy everyone was, and how this inspired him to bootlick his way into some internship, the pursuit of which literally requires him to alienate his friends and family and sleep in subway bathrooms with his five-year-old son. Everyone in the movie is a lazy, unscrupulous asshole, except for the rich people, of course, who are portrayed as generous and open-minded for allowing Will Smith in the door after he kisses their asses the whole movie. All of his struggle with homelessness and poverty etc. is portrayed not as injustice but as the ideal scenario, rewarding the hardest, most dedicated worker with a job. It is literally r/upliftingnews: the movie.
Also as a side note everyone who spoke of his job performances notes that he was bad at most things and very clumsy (Except acting, he was a good actor). But he genuinely seemed like he's been reformed. He would be embarrassed by waitstaff serving him, and he refused to board vehicles until everyone else was seated which meant he missed his ride once when he waited for the conductor to get seated before he'd go in.
He also reprimanded Pujie for reconnecting with his Japanese wife.
I'm sorry for the posts but Puyi is just so interesting.
You should make a big post about it if it hasn't been done yet. This sounds really interesting
You know I might. It'll be my one chance to write a historical essay touching on complex human emotions and a nuanced historical subject and entitle it "Puyi is stored in the balls"
