Come to think of it, growing up I remember thinking of certain scenes, like he goes to temples to meditate, “to find himself” or “fight his demons” or whatever, or joining fight club-style events with randos, again “to find himself” or for the fun of it, who knows - and even then I was thinking “damn, I guess it’s good to have that much money to act like a clueless brat!”
I do agree a lot of stories about “finding yourself” are like that (Eat Pray Love for instance). But to be fair in the Nolan movies he went out into the world with no money. Now, if he somehow formed another billion dollar company then it would have become full on capitalist propaganda, lol.
But did he have millions in his bank accounts or not? He had a damn butler and took a Russian ballet crew on a sailing trip!
If he went into the world “with no money,” it was still his choice. At any point he could have said “you know what, fuck this, I’m coming back to my mansion.” Not everyone has that luxury.
