On Nietzsche

Robert's motive for killing is very simple. He just wanted to practice his teacher's theory and prove that he belongs to a higher person. The core of the whole theory mentioned in the movie should be Nietzsche's theory of superman. Nietzsche's theory of superman is in my opinion. In the field of morality, Nietzsche divides morality into master morality and slave morality, and the consciousness of class inequality is indeed very strong. For a period of time, I also believed in Nietzsche's philosophical theory, the superhuman theory, the will to power, and eternal reincarnation. He offers us a completely different way of understanding the world. To believe or not to believe this theory is your freedom, and we must pay the price for what we do. Hitchcock's film makes us understand that killing doesn't necessarily require deep hatred, but a profit-driven drive, because there are so few so-called unreasonable things we do?

Brandon: What are you doing?
Rupert Cadell: It's not what I'm going to do, Brandon. It's what society is going to do. I don't know what that will be, but I can guess, and I can help. You're going to die, Brandon. Both of you. You are going to die.

Brandon: But why should I want to come back?
Phillip: Yes, why?
Brandon: For the pleasure of our company, or another drink?
Rupert Cadell: That's a very good idea. May I have one for the road?
