And the social commentary like you mentioned… she just couldn’t live through this one. She was a bad egg, after all. She had all the stereotypical negative characteristics… the scheming wanna get rich by any cost, soul cycle, immaculate straight hair ( for real how does her hair stay that straight!), alternative life style choices (oh, she’s a lesbian too!) I kind of wanted her to make it through this movie. She’s bad, but so are SOOOOOOOOOO many men in our society. I’m sorry did I add too many OOs? They have made money on the backs of the poor, young, old, and everything in between. These grifters, mobsters, robber barons, and oilmen have lived to a ripe old age passing down their billions to their families that will continue in the family business.

Yeah, there’s also something to be said about how Americans as a society treat our elders. In other countries, elders are revered and honored. They are brought into the family household where they are taken care of until they die. Americans, that’s just not how we roll. Maybe because most Americans are having a difficult time taking care of themselves and just can’t afford to take care of their elders. Maybe it’s because their elders were mean as hell and all the therapy in the world can’t cure you from that. I don’t know the answer, but it’s definitely a social problem properly placed in this movie for a reason. As for me my mil lives ten minutes away from me and that as close as I can stand.
