It's scene's like this that remind me Harlan wasn't 100% a good guy either. I'm sure in his mind he saw it as an excellent "twist" (at this point I'm pretty sure he saw everything like a story he was writing) but never considered the pressure that would put on Marta or how much attention that would draw to her family- which I'm sure would cause a lot of distress to her mother with her being undocumented

@879SCSP Жыл бұрын

It also makes sense that Harlan, despite being "kind," probably though "HA! I'm leaving everything to my nurse! Take that!" was this big gotcha, not seeing Marta as a person like the rest of the family but as some kind of bargaining chip in his slight vendetta against his kids and their spouses.

i think its made pretty clear that the reason he left his family out is because they'd all become spoiled off of his success, and he hoped that by doing so he might help them to find their own peace.

@@rasmus9595 sometimes. An “anchor baby” is a child born in the US to illegal immigrants. Because the baby was born here, under the US Constitution they are American citizens and thus cannot be deported. Their parents, who are in the country illegally, cannot be separated from their infant, and thus are permitted to stay, at least until their child is an adult; their child has anchored them here.

@natperXD Жыл бұрын

To be fair, the police probably can’t do much without using force which they want to avoid. For starters, the family was just crowding Martha (the one who got the inheritance) and not causing harm, so them holding back the family and giving her time to escape was the best they could do. Second, they probably concluded that it would be better to watch and save their energy in case it does get violent because remember, they are a team of 3 vs a family of 6. Also, the family probably couldn’t/shouldn’t do anything to her because the inheritance all went to her. So if she dies, then all her inheritance probably could go somewhere else. (But I’m not too sure about this).

When the Thrombey's said she was like family that was more of a courtesy for Harlan's benefit than out of any kindness for Marta. They showed how they truly felt when they didn't allow her to go to Harlan's funeral with the rest of them and said it was put to a vote. They always made a show of being nice to her for Harlan's and the police, but they didn't have too anymore after Harlan died. The most Marta could hope for from them was enough severance pay to last until her next job since Walt said they would to that much. Even Harlan's granddaughter Meg, who before this was Marta's only real friend in the house; later clarified the distinction that just because she was "like" Harlan's family, but they were his family.

Dude I remember seeing a story like this irl. It was a few years ago but there’s a channel that reads Reddit posts and one was about a family *exactly* like this that got “cheated” out of their inheritance. Now I don’t remember all the details, but what I can remember was that there was this guy who was the grandson of a very wealthy dude, and his best friend (the author of the post). The grandfather was a super nice person and the two of them loved hanging out with him and shooting the breeze just for the heck of it several times a week. The rest of the grandfathers kids and grandkids though were absolute 🐩💩, never visiting, being rude, and just generally not giving two f*cks about the guy except for the money he had. Fast forwards to the grandfathers death and will reading, the entire family is there not out of respect for the patriarch, but because they wanna know what their cut is, and we’re even bragging to each other on how fast they were gonna spend it. The one good grandson and his friend were also there out of respect/the grandson invited his friend because again, they loved the old man. Then the will reading comes and it turned out that 2 years before he died, the grandfather changed the will, and to decide how the money would be split up he came up with a point system. For every call he got from someone he gave them like 1 point. For each physical visit he got, the person received like 3 points. As a result of this, the grandson and his friend ended up with like over 1,000 points each (whereas like 3 other family members got 1-3 points total over the entire 2 years he’d been keeping count), with entitled the both of them to like 97% of the grandfathers wealth. To say the family was shocked would be an understatement, and them then accusing the two of them about knowing about this system was of course inevitable. The old guy knew this would happen too, that the family would fight his decision (he even told them how horrible they all turned out to be, especially his two sons who I think he said were like the biggest disappointments in his life for the snooty/rotten way they turned out despite him trying to teach them the right thing), and so he also put in a clause saying that if any family member tried to challenge the will, they would immediately loose all claims to the (very little) shares they actually *did* “earn”.

there are so many things i love about this scene that need to be said: 1. i love the handheld shake of the camera as marta leaves the house, trying to flee from the family. 2. marta’s genuine reaction as everything is read out and her little “oh my god.” 3. i love the detective protecting marta immediately the second they started coming towards her, and his standing in the way so they couldn’t get to her right in her face. 4. the smile on ransom’s face because as anyone who has seen the movie will know, he already knew what was going to happen. he was just along for the ride. 4. and ransom’s little - *I THINK THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT COULD TO HAPPEN TO ALL OF YOU.*

Yeah, Harlan surely wasn't thinking of him mother when she had to be pushing close to 100 years of age or even beyond that. Just looked and Harlan was 85 so for her to be under 100 she would have had to have Harlan when she was 14, which does happen sometimes though it shouldn't because 14 year old's aren't ready for children physically and mentally. She was the most decent member of the family though by far so Marta probably let her live there it's a big house and she had little time left.

To see his family get their “just deserts” and cause he needed to get Marta on his side by “rescuing” her. He should have left after he stormed out but he was waiting for her to run, probably did something to her car. So he could swoop in when he knew the family would chase her.

@@empressquamina6847 Depending on state and county laws, if you are completely excluding someone from a will, they can have a basis to sue for a portion of it. Think of the argument of "Well grampa just forgot that day, I just want what grampa would probably have given me". A token amount like $10 is both an acknowledgement and kind of a "fuck you". "Here's some gas money for driving out here to hear that you aren't getting anything". Clearly grampa remembered you, and set a clear amount for you.

It’s official. Chris Evans surpassed The Joker in this scene. When he was cut from the will, his greedy, dysfunctional family took sanctimonious pleasure from it. Then, he sat back and watched the said family’s world burn when they found out they were disinherited too. Secretly knowing of his family being excluded from the will, he smiled, chuckled, and laughed victoriously when they showed their true colors after the will was read. Plus, how is it that British actors, like Daniel Craig, could pull off Southern accents so well? They must have the vocal chords of Superman.

@Dubbadizzo86 Жыл бұрын

No. It's entitlement, lack of humility, and greed that rips apart families. Poor people squander their money, that's why they don't have it, and that's why they're so desperate to get it. Wealthy people have learned how to hold onto and create their money so they're not in a desperate position to be shitty people. Most people are not rich, so they don't know what rich people are like, so they assume that they're just like them but with money. But the truth is, they aren't them at all, and that's why they have money. Money doesn't make you terrible. People are terrible before they have money. It's why 80% of lottery winners go broke in the next 5 years. They're just poor people with money, destined to lose it.

We live in an amazing time. You don't see that? I mean, if you live in the west, and you make over 30k per year, you're in the 1% compared to the rest of the world, and you're even richer than 99.99% of people that have ever lived. I gotta say I'm pretty grateful to capitalism, even if a handful have a lot more than me. I just find it silly that you would blame the family relations aspect on capitalism, when it really just comes down to a lack of gratitude and perspective on the part of the individuals themselves. Should just be grateful to be alive. Most people don't even have that.
