It's the vomit movie! Although there is over two hours where there is no vomit.
The lives of rich people are different. For a start, they are rich. We are introduced to two rich people who are rich because they are beautiful. That is all. Then we get the yacht, in which we have a whole bunch of rich people, the white staff who cosy up to them, and the island staff that actually do work (much like many cruises). After stupid events (including the well known projecting), we get them wrecked on an island... and oh, how the turns are tabled!
While the director wasn't wanting to make the rich people monstrous without social understanding, he did portray them as as without social understanding. You can't just order people around like puppets, but here we are. And then we get the view that as soon as you get any sense of power, you become corrupt. Acton's Law is still in effect.
Fine performances, and the ship sequences are good, but... at nearly two and a half hours, the main sadness is the runtime.
