                  How money related to life 

The review of the Wired says that the main theme of this movie is that rich people are bad and only capitalize. Their goal is to get the max amount of whatever currency and be able to live long comfortably while the poor die because they cant afford to live,

The scene starts off with Will achieving a way to save the lower class from the corrupt sovereignty of Phillip Weis, the richest man alive. Here your wealth is equated to time left to live, so when they took the first large amount of Phillips’s wealth in its entirety, he went through the first 3 stages of grief in one look.

We see Phillip trying to ration with Will and his daughter to not give all his time to poverty because to him it was an idiotic idea and would mess up the system he had put in place

During this whole scene they are looking at each other, something they only do with people in their class because of the social divide, it humanizes all parties in this dilemma of wanting more time to live.

As Will had Phillip confined and walked towards the door Slyvia’s expression portrays a determined look but also realizing that with the decision she was making, her life would never be the same.

When he says “ it could cripple the system” what he means is it would kill me faster and he visibly didn’t like the thought of that

it’s like the rich fear death for themselves but ( wait for clip) And only the poor understand that but they also understand they need time to live as it says in the rotten tomatoes review to increase the value of life everyone should be able to live and everyone should be able to die
