100 mil is not 'rich beyond wildest dreams'

The thing that bothers me about movies like this, is that they always present certain sums of money as something really amazing and unattainable and somewhat 'fantastic'.

They never consider that there are people in this world that own -so- much more than these pesky movie sums.

Sure, 100 million seems like an enormous amount of money to 'regular people', but when you think about Rockefellers, Rotschilds, and other scumbags, and realize they pretty much own most of the planet, and to put to numbers, the really rich people own, for example, 500 billion ..

.. then these movie prizes of '100 million' seem ridiculously small. There are actual people, who own -vastly- superior amount, and yet we're expected to drool over 100 million in a fictional story, and think that's the 'biggest amount of money, ever'.

There's just something so weird about it.

Why can't the 'movie prize' ever be something like 500 billion? Is it so that the viewer would never think that there ARE people who own that much?

That regular people wouldn't look up these mega-billionaires, that control the show from behind the curtains?

But even if you don't consider those, if you just limit yourself to the likes of Bill Gates and such, they can still own whole islands and communities, whole neighbourhoods and .. well, seems to me that 100 million wouldn't be enough to even make these rich folk get up from their chair for.

If they dropped a 100 million on the floor, they wouldn't even bother to pick it up.

Also, look at all these mega-corporations, and how much they are making.

100 million? "Rich beyond wildest dreams"? What I've written in this post is not wild or dreamy, it's pretty mundane.

As a sidenote; the first 'marker' we are shown is in a really stupid and illogical place. How exactly did they put that marker in a place, where the protagonist is walking with the box? Wouldn't it make more sense to put the marker to when he was in the lab, around the time the marker is installed?

And why make the marker so far in the future from that moment? Now he still remembers purchasing the competitor's product, so with a little bit of deduction, he can pretty much realize what he has done.

The mechanics of installing the marker at THAT moment, when he's just walking somewhere with a box, are also not explained.

But the worst thing is; WHY IS IT SHOWN FROM THIRD-PERSON PERSPECTIVE?!

(Oh yeah, that's how memories work in this movie, should've remembered.. I guess my memory was wiped by the awfulness of this movie)
