Comparing Worryfree And The Prison Industrial Complex In Sorry To Bother

America has big conglomerate companies, such as Amazon, that promote work over life with cafeterias onsite, couches, pools, tennis courts, bean bag chairs, and more. Cinema often mirrors reality, and the world we live in. The movie Sorry to Bother You mirrors the impending effect of America’s late-stage capitalism through the dystopian company WorryFree. The viewer's introduction to WorryFree is through their commercial seen through Cassius’s eyes, which promotes Cinema as Mirror and Spectatorship through hyper-capitalist greed and inhumanity.
Through the mise-en-scene, the bright colors and furnishings of WorryFree’s housing and uniforms oppose the dystopian reality of WorryFree as a company. As Cassius watches the WorryFree commercial,

Factory towns and the Prison Industrial Complex are similar, both have employment for life and guaranteed housing. The difference between factory towns and the Prison Industrial Complex is that factory towns are voluntary and participation in the Prison Industrial Complex is forced.
