  style="font-weight: 400\;">The Wolf of Wall Street</span></i><span style="
 font-weight: 400\;">\, Andrew explains how a variety of biopics portray wea
 lthy characters as being simultaneously reprehensible and sympathetic. Thes
 e biopics encourage the audience to both support and condemn these characte
 rs through a process called parallax empathy. Andrew argues that parallax e
 mpathy is the key to helping audiences better understand these characters w
 ho are fully shaped by the modern-day neoliberal ideology.</span></p><p><a
