Another film in the line of anti-wealth movies
Wealth = Mediocrity promoted to its fullest is surely a message here.
But in the real world mediocrity gets promoted by sheer numbers of people anyway.
Not at all. It shows Florence as using her money to support the arts and help people. In fact, it can be said the film is "anti-poor people" because it shows a lot less financially stable people taking advantage of Florence's naive demeanor and kindness to swindle her out of money. This film is essentially Ed Wood meets Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story.
shareOK , good to hear. By sheer numbers of people though, the upper class are badly treated by the middle class. Envy, or ignorance of, prestige is a cancer that will destroy civility.

I am guessing that you vote Republican.
There is nothing wrong with that, and neither major party is consistently effective at speaking to the concerns of middle-class and working-class voters these days.
But you fit a certain caricature, especially given that your complaint comes in an era where income inequality has reached levels not previously seen since the 1920s.
Or perhaps you are a sort of apolitical elitist ... share
