The movie Parasite is an excellent critique of liberal ideology. The characters in the movie are all fundamentally good people who are rational actors acting in their own best interest. These people are led to commit unspeakable atrocities due to the systemic pressures they're exposed to.
The fundamental fallacy of liberalism is that it focuses on individualism while ignoring the systemic context that guides individual action.
They kill the capitalist at the end and destroy the entire horrific system. Further it was assumed that life was unable to survive at all in the wasteland, though we see polar bears in the distance which proves that be false seeing as there must be an ecosystem to support them. So to me it feel like the children climbing out the wreckage comes across as a hopeful message of “Good men plant trees they will never sit under. Destroy the system for the good of and future survival of humanity.
Assuming it didn’t immediately maul them because polar bears hunt humans, seeing the polar bear is a MASSIVE hope. Large predators in an ecosystem require an immense amount of calories and ecological support, so if it could survive in the wastes for 14 years, it can be assumed that there are probably seals, and algae in the water, or other land animals, and so on.
Evan’s was about to out of sheer depression after learning that the “revolution” was manufactured as population control, but after he sees that child slaves are used to man the train, he turns on the old guy, kills him, and sacrifices himself for the greater good.
He gives the grenade to the Korean man and sacrifices his arm to rescue the slave child manning the engine. Then he covers the boy’s body with his own (and the Korean man does the same to the girl), as the grenade in the engine explodes and destroys the train.
Hence the “Nice” from the capitalist since he legitimately was not expecting Evans to refuse his offer and destroy the train.
Maybe, but it feels a bit hopeful.

Ah, maybe I interpreted wrong? I thought Chris Evans literally betrayed the revolution and became the successor to the old dude.
I was just like, can’t trust the settler left lmao
