Summary/Abstract: The consequences of chasm between the rich and the poor vary, depending on whether or not it is suffered by an individual or a larger group of people. Although in the case of various social groups it encompasses a larger area of effect, especially if it amasses as a protest, the consequences can be worse for an individual because the individual feels it stronger. In this paper, considered is the notion of existence in two aspects, socio-economic and philosophical, following examples from the films Parasite (2019) and Joker (2019). The focus is placed on the problem of poverty.
