It's all just Polanski's mockery of the hypocrisy of the middle class he sees as suave.

I think the biggest highlight of this film is the acting skills. The four acting schools with different personalities are in a room and the people watching and acting should be very enjoyable. Under the influence of various conflicts and alcohol, he began to hysterically gradually reveal his true nature. Kate is the most dramatic one. The sudden vomit is absolutely shocking. Waltz has always felt that he has played the Nazi officer in Inglourious Basterds. Inadvertently looking like a jerk who doesn't care about everything, Judy looks like the most educated intellectual at first glance, but turns out to be the most unflattering character in the end. It's all just what Polanski sees in him. A hypocritical mockery of the sanctimonious middle class

Alan Cowan: Penelope, I believe in the god of carnage. The god whose rule's been unchallenged since time immemorial.

Nancy Cowan: I've got a John Wayne idea of manhood, too. What is it he had? A Colt .45. Something that empties a room. Any man that doesn't have those loner vibes just doesn't come off as having any substance.
