In this sense, Sidney is essentially no different from his boss, JJ. Only the social status is different, one is the master and the other is his slave.
It is said that such an excellent noir film failed miserably at the box office in the United States at that time. This is actually not surprising. Americans are optimistic by nature and will never accept the idea of "commercial society degenerates people". (Their conception is quite the opposite).
Lastly, by the way, the soundtrack to the film is amazing!
The sometimes intense, sometimes melancholy jazz rhythm dominates the film, just like the madness and darkness of this world.
