When the characters and viewers meet Godfrey he is an aggressive homeless man who seemingly has nothing. Throughout the film the we find out that Godfrey is a wealthy man who gave up so much because he didn't like the person money turned him into. Although the second he was working for the Bullock family he had walked right back into the exact life he had left behind. The Bullocks, a family of wildly eccentric characters, who look at money like it is nothing and have no care or sympathy for anyone other than themselves. They could not care any less about how Godfrey felt about being aggressively fawned over by Irene Bullock or verbally assaulted by Angelica Bullock, who for most of the film despised Godfrey, but he cared about their feelings and about his job as their butler. The whole family treated Godfrey as a doll for them to play with as they wished although he did not give in to them. The family only looked at him as a human at the end of the film when they learned he had saved them from themselves by recovering the families finances they had wasted away. Godfrey was a good man who saved not only the Bullocks but created shelter and jobs for the homeless men he once lived with. He was a good man before the viewers and characters knew of his wealth and he was a good man after, for most of the film he is looked at as less than when in reality he was a kinder person than everyone in the Bullock family combined. This movie literally has everything a movie could offer romance, drama, comedy. The timeless comedy could entertain viewers of any generation.
