Compare Welcome to Happiness, to It's a Wonderful Life. It has a similar concept of 'erasing.' I won't get into any detail so I don't spoil anything. I'll keep it vague. In the 1946 movie we find out that if George Bailey is 'erased' from people's lives the whole town is a hellhole.
In this modern movie we see the same result except these people aren't good like George Bailey, yet, their bad deeds somehow made life better for others.
It's a Wonderful Life inspires people to understand their sacrifices and good deeds spread so much goodness.
This movie tells us that if we do terrible things they also lead to wonderful things and good deeds. It's a moral message that if you do terrible things, don't worry because it was really a good deed if you look at it another way.
George Bailey was a saint and people's lives were made better. These characters in this modern movie did bad things and people's lives were made better. Do good and people's lives will get better or do bad. Maybe it doesn't make a difference?
George resents the real sacrifices he made but this character resents doing good deeds for others? The character in this movie is no George Bailey! His complaint makes him seem spoiled rather than legitimately frustrated like George Bailey was. We don't feel that George is just being spoiled.
This really seems like a morally idiotic version of It's a Wonderful Life... conceptually. This is the version our modern society perhaps deserves.
