RRosi, as usual, your review of "Trading Places" offers a thoughtful analysis that delves beyond the film's surface. I appreciate how you explore themes of social class and economic inequality, highlighting the clever use of comedy to address serious topics. Your insights into the symbolic use of music and art add a layer of depth that I had glossed over when I watched the film.

I also admire how you highlight Ophelia's role in challenging traditional gender roles, which is a nuanced observation. Your ability to connect these elements to broader societal critiques demonstrates a keen understanding of the film's intentions.

As always, your review serves as a wonderful reminder to look deeper into not just movies but life itself. It inspires me to approach films and personal experiences with a more observant and thoughtful perspective. "Trading Places" is one of my favorite films, and it feels especially relevant today as the puppeteers in charge wildly swing the political pendulum. Thank you for sharing such an insightful review!
