The Night of the Hunter

I believe that the film still resonates with audiences today because money is primarily what drives the film. We encounter a man without morality that will do anything to get his hands on this money. He does not shy away from hurting women and even children to attain this. This could then be translated to a bigger and more powerful entity constantly exploiting the weaker ones in order into riches. Today, we still see too many situations like this one and of course this then bounces back to Hollywood Films. Take for example the recent film- Money Monster. The film centers around a young man fed up with the way the these giant entities overpower smaller ones and how this cycle is always powered by monetary greed.
