Wendy and Lucy accompanied with Awara

I believe that the film Wendy and Lucy would be best accompanied with Awara. The reason I think that these films are alike is due to the fact they are about class warfare and how that affects peoples point of view. The first main example of these compare how class warfare affects people point of view was how that Judge Raghunath believes that “good people are born to good people, and criminals are born to criminals” with how he convicts Jagga just because he in the lower class and his father was a criminal. Then Jagga uses the judge’s son to show how his belief and that class does not make the person. This mimics Wendy and Lucy with how the film takes a shot at jobs and the lower class where the Security Guard Wendy says “you can't get an address without an address. You can't get a job without a job.” This I believe has a shot at how capitalism has taken over and unless you are in the system you are out of luck. Another part of Wendy and Lucy that takes aim at the class differences, where when Wendy is caught shoplifting and taken to the management office by the clerk. He states that the “rules apply to everyone” and “if a person can’t afford dog food they shouldn’t have a dog”. This in my opinion was such an elitist attitude with how he makes a snap decision and becomes judge and jury. It seems like he thinks he is higher that Wendy and I believe showing the cross in plain view had something to do with showing the elitist/virtue attitude.
