A society with a capitalist element always takes the interests of the powerful as its ultimate goal. The so-called fairness and legal system seem to provide protection for the weak, but in fact it does not bring absolute benefits. They are just tools, and their effectiveness depends on fair manufacturing groups and legal manipulating groups. As long as things are created by people, there is room for them to be used and manipulated, especially in a society where this fact is easily fabricated, and the enforcers of the rules are increasingly dependent on the rules and fabricated facts. Most people like to be a follower. They only need to make judgments and actions according to socially accepted rules to get their due rewards, but if you break the casserole and ask to the end, how can you know the good or the bad? Because in the capitalist society, no one will let you live comfortably because of your kindness, bravery, and justice itself.

The roles of predators and prey will also change dynamically. No one can become a doomed and absolute predator. The warded old people in the play are mostly successful people when they are young, but after losing their power, they will inevitably become prey. . Throughout his life, he has worked hard in this society of the weak and the strong, and even if he uses unfair means, he still cannot escape the tragic fate of being swallowed up by the system.

As terrible as capital is the one who is good at applying the system, he can even make capital helpless. The most terrifying thing is the combination of capital and system, and the consequence is to use the power of capital to exponentially magnify the loopholes in the system. How many reckless people in real life can kill people regardless of the law? So the ending of the movie looks like a comedy, but it is actually a tragedy.

    Marla Grayson: Jennifer, listen to me. I don't lose. I won't lose. I'm never letting you go. I own you. And I will drain you, of your money, your comfort and your self respect. Not because I want to, not because I'll enjoy it or because I planned it, but because your people didn't play by the rules. You wanna beat me? Well come at me fair and square. You get me in a courtroom, you outplay me. You don't bring guns into a care home. You don't murder one of my friends.

    [both glare at each other]
