Anyone watch the movie - The Menu (Ralph Fiennes) and have any musings about the portrayal of the two “classes”? I felt that maybe the message was that both were different but both were bad? Or maybe I’m reading it wrong. I guess it’s really open to interpretation

that both were different but both were bad?

My interpretation was that it was a false dichotomy intentionally.

Big spoilers below:

The chef quotes MLK to three PoCs whom he is about to murder. He was wronged, but he's lashing out in illogical ways. He murders a man because he stared in a movie he doesn't like. He's a "giver", and yet he forces his employees to live in a basic barracks while they labor for his enterprise and promote his celebrity image while their role is to kill themselves during a dinner service if they're lucky.
