wanting to be great vs. refusing to work hard for a fucked up system

are there films that explore the lives of people wishing to reach their maximum potential and be an academic achiever but also too reluctant to be eaten by the capitalistic system of working hard? i’ve watched some asian films and series that have this air of wanting to get far away because of how the fast-paced and lonely urban life is. i resonated with it, but i’m kinda looking for something that could actually tap into a personal dilemma of mine; hence, the title.

for context, i recently found myself feeling envious of academically excellent people in my class but there’s a part of me that dismisses the prestige and feeling of being recognized. because from where i live, people exploit and expect you to lead and do the nitty-gritty (and shitty) work when they realize you’re actually smart, responsible, and reliable person. for someone who was once ambitious, i realized that early on and being used like that didn’t sit right with me. idk what got me into feeling envy, so i thought maybe a film can help me settle this internal dissonance.

i’m open to any recommendations, so not necessarily asian films. i’d appreciate movies that pose questions that allow me to ponder on my core values and ideologies so i can eventually confront what it is that i want in life.

thanks a lot!
