Tolerance guides the future

I don't think the director wants to discuss a lot of the dialectics between human nature and money. What I see is more about the redemption of one's own soul and the forgiveness of others.
In the end, when the actor "put down" the million dollars to sign the divorce agreement, he seemed to have said something to the effect that what can guide the future is not to remember the past, but to tolerate each other. The wealthy businessman let go of his desire for self-possession, and finally in the car, the heroine also felt the "kindness" of the wealthy businessman.
It's a great movie. It's not that love conquers money, but that we have gone through this period and gained freedom and maturity in our hearts.
