The Rules of the Game is what...60 years old?
The reason it was considered imperative for the ruling classes to "behave" is that they were held up as the model to which others should aspire---and it was the class from which leaders, especially in France, were selected.
If they were seen as corrupt and vice-ridden as the others, well then...
Of course, grinding poverty has its singular problems (and I'm not talking specifically about the US), i.e. not too many of the rich find prostitution, drug sales, or crime their ONLY life choices.

How did you manage to cram the condemnation of one class and excuse for the other in just one brief post?
***i.e. not too many of the rich find prostitution, drug sales, or crime their ONLY life choices.
Surely many of them find adultery as the ONLY life choice - as the way to escape their demanding and stressful life.
You are perfect example of what I was talking about - blind class dislike.

    Artists portray the reality, then the social engineers step in.
    Something like Down and Dirty is 1000 times more damning than the RUles of the Game, yet it is never considered a "class" film.
