This is a movie that needs to be watched closely, and it is a waste to understand this movie only from the perspective of the plot.
In the whole film, Roy said this sentence: "Money is like a foreign language film without subtitles", and this sentence appeared more than once, why is it a foreign language film without subtitles? Because, can't see through. Yes, it is precisely because of the inability to see through, so it is impossible to predict that people will do unexpected actions for "money". This also paved the way for the scam set up by Roy's partner Frank in the film.
Ironically, Roy said something like this: I have a job, I have a partner, and all my life. If Roy is said to be composed of three parts: work, partners, and life, then partners are undoubtedly very important to him, which also contrasts with the deception of partner Frank, adding irony to the film .
But the core of the movie is not this deception, but Roy, who lost money and feelings, finally found his own way of earning his own money through legal means, as well as real and real feelings.
There is no unexplained scam, no money that cannot be re-earned.
But emotion is not something you can get if you want, but Roy finally got his real emotion. Roy at that moment was truly rich.
