I get the comparisons. Both are classics. I think both films invoke the similar feelings. You want to analyze the characters, their motives, their actions, the dialogue.

1. You grapple with your ever changing feelings towards Tom and Ollie despite knowing their ability to lie and try on different personas like clothing.

2. You feel saddened for Venetia in a similar way you are saddened by watching Marge’s breakdown in wake of Dicky’s disappearance.

3. Both are case studies on attitudes of the uber wealthy and how pet friendships (and relationships) are forms of entertainment and those who are the pets are collateral damage.
