Envy & Greed of Lesser Men
A death-haunted film that does not fully understand nor appreciate its own thematic concerns. The fulfilled fantasy of a man who wanted to become rich from striking lucky with gold prospecting but who dies in the frozen wastes and is eaten by wolves. Better to spend 15 years searching for what you want than to find it; for in the finding there is much less joy than in the seeking for what else is left.
The real men here are those who know what they want and go after it - the rest are immature gold-diggers whose only means of expression is either psychological or physical violence. A kind of Citizen Kane homage focusing on the envy and greed of lesser men whose ambitions outshine their abilities; hence, the compensatory violence.
