Q) Why people pursue the expensive ones?

 Brand is very important to people. Because brand is the symbol. Most luxury goods have their own unique luxurious feel. People loves that sense of feelings. The emotion that people feel is related to the Panoplie effect of Jean Baudrillard. The Panoplie effect is a phenomenon in which a person purchases a specific product and identifies himself or herself with a group expected to be a consumer of the same product. Whether you want to be an upper class or want to increase your status leads to the purchase of a specific product. Customers who purchase a particular product do not necessarily need the specific functionality of that product. They want to become trend leader. The worse the economy, the more likely it is. This film shows that phenomena very well.
