Money Maketh Man

Money is a delimma, a critical delimma. There is a saying that goes " Don't let money manage you, manage the money" and another that goes " Money can change a person".

Well, this story brought out those two sayings in the most cinematically and praise-worthy way. From bringing us an hierarchy view of how people with more power ( but in this case money) can control what anyone below them have or get, how small destructive behaviour can turn into something even worse and to how resulting to violence can lead to more violence and nothing else.

Desperation to keep the money and to survive without any harm was impossible, especially when money is being given away for free. The sad part unless you are at the top of the food chain you have better chances to survive but if you are at the bottom...you have to do what you can.

When they couldn't change the rooms as expected, I was not surprised. They had all these plans but they didn't go as they did plan, and it brings us back to life and how no matter how much you plan...the most unexpected things tend to come out.

And so brings me to my conclusion, When they first started the show ...they were managing the money but as the money grew their opinions and decisions became clouded then we watched the money managed them.

I believe this was portrayed in a very elegantly disturbing way. Likeable characters turned unlikeable but the more I watched the more I understood how rational and irrational us humans become when faced with such a great amount.

This is worth the watch, definitely give it a shot. But to me overall 10/10
