this film is very sympathetic to the extremely wealthy family that lived off of the money of others. In the film they couldn't believe their lives must change cause they didn't do anything. Their selfishness is overwhelming as their demands. It is sad that they couldn't and wouldn't take responsibility for their role. The sons couldn't even get their own jobs, but had to work for Daddy! The wife never did anything but be selfish. So when the life of privilege crashed, the eldest can't even pull himself together to care for his own child and once again shows his selfishness. The film wants you to feel sorry for them but knowing they destroyed or lead to the deaths of others, I just can't. In one scene the viewer sees a lovely Xmas on the TV bringing a family together yet this family is Jewish, and don't celebrate Xmas. The director tries to manipulate the viewer to be sympathetic, very much like the psychopath does in the story.
