Close, but not quite right, since this is more of an explicit rejection of postmodernism and nihilism idea of "nothing matters" in general, that it's important to find the things do matter even in a world as depressing as ours is, and to believe that things can change.
It's the importance of being sincere.
Nothing more sincere than raking in millions shilling for the auto industry and calling it a critique of consumerism.
I think you are still missing the point. This is the exact type of postmodern cynicism and despair I was talking about.
I would encourage you to look up the concept of New Sincerity and relate it to what you've seen in the movie, but other than that, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.
That's all I can do for you. You will either break free of the cynicism and despair, or be consumed by it. So, I wish you well.
Cynicism and despair is the wave of the future. I can't wait to be plugged into the matrix where I'll do some form of digital work for the cost of a flavorless nutrient paste tube.
