「Grandpa Lectures Kirby in Jail」を読み解く

What's really going on

The chapter is the film's thesis delivered at last, and it is delivered in a jail cell, which is the joke. Kirby has lost control of everything and Grandpa, who has nothing, is the calmest man in the room. His argument is not sentimental: he points out that "you can't take it with you" and that the only thing a person keeps is the love of his friends. Kirby cannot hear it, because he is busy discovering that his own fixer set the trap that caught him. The chapter is where the film's two philosophies finally face each other, and the rich man is the one in the cell.

Theme

MoneyGrandpa argues that wealth is worthless in the end, while Kirby can only measure his crisis in lost deals.
PhilosophyThe film's idea of a good life is stated plainly in a cell, and the rich man refuses to hear it.
