I was imagining about a movie about the rich, what they do, what they talk behind the closed doors, how they effect the poor, how they influence govn and corporations, how they create the actors, singers, and create the songs that most of us listen to. How they create the movies to influence us. How they stop movements of the poor people.

What are your ideas? What would be in that movie? It is imaginary, but I'd love to hear from you:)

Movie should be about a young idealist communist/anarchist who spend their days fantasizing about killing the wealthy and talking non stop about evil they are. Then this rich evil guy meets them one day and makes them an offer: if you hang out with me for 1 year I will let you murder me and you will get all my money and power, but you have to hang out with me for that 1 year and learn everything about my life and go to all my parties and meet all my friends. Then after 1 year the young idealist slowly learns and grows and starts loving the rich person who has given them so much and taught them so much. They can't do it! But the rich person dies anyway (they had cancer), and the young anarchist now gets their money, their multiple homes, and all their power and influence. And they decide they can do so much better if they don't give it up, if they don't start the revolution today, if they temporarily use these things to do good! They will finally be able to start the revolution and liberate the proletariat and usher in the utopia promised by their ideals.

And as they do this they start hurting people. They steal from others, first other rich people. Then they start feeling entitled to other people's things and their bodies. They host parties for other young anarchists, but they need people to provide the food, the music, and hire sex workers. And they are going to pay all these people very generously and give away their houses to these people and such, but it all goes so well, but the people who they hired aren't good anarchists/communists, they are clearly only in it for the money and are all greedy capitalists, some of them even own their homes! They really don't deserve their generosity, so they stiff and underpay the people they hired. But they also decide they should do it again, and again, and again, and just a bit longer they will hold onto all this money and power, it can't hurt right? The revolution will be tomorrow!

And fast forward 30 years and they never gave it up. They now have more money, more power, because what they had wasn't yet enough to start the revolution they still deeply believed in. They still keep hosting parties, boosting up communist/anarchist celebrities and influencers, and keep broadcasting their beliefs. But they get a diagnosis of cancer, time is running out. They have 6 months to live. There isn't time to start the revolution now! They have yet to compete the work... they need more time! so they go and find a young poor struggling idealists like themselves, and they know this person will never listen to them unless they offer to kill themselves and give all their power and money away to the killer, so that they can start the revolution...

I like it. Reminds me a little of Citizen Kane.
