It seems to be just a comedy, but it's actually quite thought-provoking.
At first, I felt that "the evil capitalism" has money to make ghosts run the mill. As long as there is money, someone will hold it and someone will coax it; Feeding pets.
Probably the journalist who insisted on telling the truth also thought the same, feeling that he was fighting against capitalism and maintaining the purity of art and social justice.
But if you look at "human nature" without "class", you will feel that the heroine is actually just a "princess" living in a vacuum - just like Princess Anne in "Roman Holiday", who escaped from the palace walls Going to the street, wanting to "buy" things, but not knowing that there is a thing called "money" in this world, but who would accuse her.
Florence is also the same. Although she has a lot of money, she does not do evil, does not harm anyone, but has sincerity and goodwill, and has also contributed to art and society (of course, by throwing money).
From the perspective of "class", it is easy to criticize that those who endured laughter and hypocrisy in the theater were all high-ranking officials of the same class, "officials protect each other", and the media was also bribed by capital to safeguard class interests; so the introduction of "soldiers" "Liberal media" such as the general public who are beyond the female protagonist's own class will break through the protective shield that protects the female protagonist.
But if you strip away the original sin of "money" and just treat the heroine and the people around her as an ordinary "small circle", you will feel that such "protection" is actually just a human feeling. Just like in "Friends", Phoebe's guitar is actually not very good, but her friends still cheer for her in the cafe every day, and won't expose the truth and tell her "you sing really bad" - if you give her Phoebe's wealth has turned her into Florence, and she will probably enlarge the small cafe in central park into the Carnegie Theater, and increase the number of 5 old friends to 50. "It's not necessarily more sinful than Monica's "white lies".
After all, the heroine is sincere and kind. She is moved by art and music and sheds tears for the wounded soldiers. Like everyone, she feels happy when she is recognized, but also suffers from illness. Merely covering her "human nature" with her class attributes may be the reason why the theory that originally hoped to bring freedom and happiness to mankind ended up bringing disaster and pain.
Of course, from the perspective of "view on life", "an unexamined life is not worth living", if Florence lives in a lie without really reflecting and knowing herself, it is probably not a complete life. .
Finally, I sighed with emotion, Uncle Hugh's smile is really charming, and the soft and sweet tenderness is too lethal.
