This is 100% what the movie depicts: exploiters and exploited, winners and losers. It just shows us this by focusing on the winners.
>is there a nobility in poverty or not?
That question isn't answered, much as there isn't an answer to that question in real life. It's what makes that shot of the agent on the subway so brilliant. Is that noble, a man amongst the people he protects? Or is he a sap? There's no clear answer. The way art should be, IMO.
