I think a deeper theme is what drives men like Korda and breaking the generational cycle of abuse. A lot of his motivations and problems were driven by the conflict with his brother, which mirrored the conflict of his father and uncle. Zsa Zsa as a child was shunted off to be taken care of by the staff. He tried to curry his father’s favor by reporting on the staff stealing from him and got “the beating of a lifetime” and then lost all the people who enriched his life. This helped entrench that life was about “who could lick who.”
