I was imagining about a movie about the rich, what they do, what they talk behind the closed doors, how they effect the poor, how they influence govn and corporations, how they create the actors, singers, and create the songs that most of us listen to. How they create the movies to influence us. How they stop movements of the poor people.

What are your ideas? What would be in that movie? It is imaginary, but I'd love to hear from you:)

I think the movie doesn't so much depict a generational progression, but an overall progression between 'prosperity' and revolution, in which any wealthy individuals at the time might be overthrown / killed off, with new ones arising in their place. They're all just symbols, really, not identities.

Of course, all this is somewhat complicated by the situation shifting towards a global model, not national / regional, which is moreso what the movie portrays.
