He has convinced himself that he's teaching society a lesson about itself. That 'plans' and socially accepted moral norms are a facade to hide and control their true natures. People at their core are self-interested anarchists themselves.<br /><br />We of course realise that this whole elaborate justification, that he is so very certain of, is just an excuse to go about hurting people, his true pleasure.<br /><br />But this creates is an ambiguity in his pleasure. What is he more happier about? Causing suffering? Proving people wrong? And what's the joke?<br /><br />Anyhow great movie. I'm probably more enthusiastic about it than you. A very high 8/10 i think.Rene Benthienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340596328031265224noreply@blogger.com
