this was a wonderful movie. it really makes you think about the nature of human beings. superior and inferior aren't labels for people, in my opinion. no person should be considered inferior because of prejudice or hatred of any kind. this scene shows the contempt for people because of profession and social class and these are people who had homes and lives and families and feelings. i think it's awful and yet a great movie and a great scene.

wow, that was deep.... i'm very proud of myself

It shows the egoic side of humanity. The idea that we are seperate from each other, and giving ourselves lables, names and identity's that are all false. The lables, names and identity's are just thoughts and idea's in our brain. And it not here or there anywhere in the world, it's only in our brain. It's A mind-reality so the speak. And we project that mind-reality onto the actual reality around us. So we never really see what is there, the here and now, but we only see what's in our head.

@TheQuentinStuckey It is an interesting concept but also an awful one. I'm very glad to hear we have one more person in the world who won't be living by that particular theory.

@candymandy224 This film is a personal favourite of mine. I'm 14 and I am intellectually gifted and I've always questioned and studied Nietzsche's theory of the Superman. I find it to be a brilliant and thought provoking concept however I wouldn't live by it to the same extent as Brandon or Philip or even Hitler for that matter.
