Which of course would just bring them down even further. There's like a quote in every culture that has the following thing. Japanese culture, it's like rice patties to rice patties in three generations. There's another quote, which is like first generation builds the house, second generation lives in the house, third generation burns it down.

Italian is like shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations. And I say it in the movie, the first generation because some menial job, they work themselves up into the middle class. Second generation maybe moves themselves up a little further in the third generation, burns the house down.

And I think that third generation, if I were to analyze it, maybe on a mass level, I would say something along the lines of there is a guilt that their lives are comfortable and they're lacking meaning that the first generation had.

exactly what the movie is talking about. I don't know how to reconcile it. I've written four plays about this exact idea because all my plays are about usually an American, modern American creation, like what you're just describing in touch with somebody whose life is somehow just more fraught. The play that I like the most is called The Spoils.

And my character is like Kieran's character and his roommate is a Nepalese immigrant who's based on my friend. We both met at NYU, but my roommate is getting a business degree. And I think business degrees are ridiculous because capitalism is bullshit. And he's like an upwardly mobile immigrant. And it's just this clash of cultures.

And so my life is just completely stifled because everything seems like bullshit because I have the comfort to have that. It's a luxury. Yeah, exactly. You get self-hating. And then if you're telling yourself this story of God, I can't believe my grandfather, what you just told me now. And you're worried about your role. It just adds to the self-hating cycle.
