THIS! 100% THIS!
The house was the result, not the cause.
I think people leaned way too hard on the cute little heist montage at the end. Oliver's intentions were not for the house going into this. He wanted Felix. They did not spend well over four-fifths of the film obsessing over Felix just to say eat the rich at the end.
Oliver failed. Oliver failed. He failed. Venetia lost interest, Farleigh came back, Felix found out his lie. He is not a brilliant mastermind who plotted the whole theft from day on, he popped a boy's tire so he could get close to him, to bask in the nearness to his warmth, and that was enough until it wasn't.
He isn't a genius, he's attentive and greedy and lucky and he can't help himself. He was pretty enough and Elspeth was broken enough that it worked in his favor after nearly 20 years. He tells himself he orchestrated the whole thing from the start, that it was "just work," and that he didn't gradually want more and more and more, and if you believe him, you failed too.

Saltburn AU where Oliver is a plumber and just goes around slurping on tub drains of anyone who gives him the time of day.

We need to talk about Oliver and the grave scene. (spoilers)
Barry Keoghan's improvisation in that scene completely changed Oliver's character and the film as a whole. It encapsulates a critical moment of emotional catharsis for Oliver, marking the first and only time in the film where he completely lets down his guard.
Throughout the film, Oliver maintains a distance from Felix, constantly holding back parts of himself, standing in front of the bathroom door but not allowing himself to enter. At first glance, it appears almost masochistic, but it's critical to understand that Oliver's feelings for Felix go beyond love. He's obsessed. It's as if he fears that getting too close to Felix could expose his true, empty self. And deeper than that, Oliver perceives Felix as something ethereal, akin to a living god. How could you even begin to approach such a being?
His confession in one of the last scenes with Felix where he admits that everything he did was to meet Felix's desires, underscores this guarded nature. Even in this moment of apparent honesty, Oliver is totally incapable of being fully vulnerable with Felix, as evidenced by his backup plan involving the drink.
In stark contrast, the grave scene is where Oliver's walls finally come crashing down. His open weeping, undressing, and act of penetration with the grave soil are profoundly powerful symbols of his extreme vulnerability and his unfiltered emotional state, now finally free of all societal pressures. As disturbing as this act may be, it symbolizes his intense longing for a deep, unfulfilled connection with Felix. In death, where Felix can no longer see or judge him, Oliver finally finds the freedom to express his true self and desires.
The act of penetration can be seen as a desperate, symbolic attempt to maintain a bond with Felix, a way to bridge the unbridgeable gap between life and death. It's a poignant and tragic manifestation of his grief, the complex emotions of longing and obsession he silently harbors throughout the film.
The grave scene is a turning point in Oliver's character arc, perfectly complimented by the finality of the grave beneath him.
Oliver loved Felix in the only way Oliver knew how to love Felix.

Saltburn, at it's core, is about love.
The film delves into themes of identity, obsession, power dynamics, and the blurry line between love and manipulation. How easily love can spiral into obsession.
It's an exploration of how love can be both redemptive and ruinous.

Antlers, which are shed and regrown annually, symbolize growth, renewal, and the ability to change or adapt. Oliver shed his antlers just before he put them on as his costume.

The scene depicting the angel beneath the Minotaur illustrates Felix's deadly encounter with a more brutal reality, as represented by the bestial Minotaur. His costume, symbolizing angelic hopes and innocence, suggests he might have been unprepared to face life's more savage elements and the darker sides of human nature.
The juxtaposition of the angel and the minotaur highlights the conflict between the ideal and the primal, the spiritual and the earthly, or the civilized and the wild.

The contrast between Felix's angelic wings and Oliver's earthly antlers symbolize a fundamental difference in their characters. While Oliver's antlers represent a more primal, natural aspect, Felix's wings signify a more ethereal, spiritual, and perhaps idealistic perspective.

Felix's choice in the angel costume is just that, a perfect representation of the facade he maintains. It symbolizes his effort to present himself as untarnished and virtuous, masking more complex and troubled aspects of his character.

The stag is a symbol of nature, wilderness, and the cycle of life and death. A nod to the more primal and untamed aspects of Oliver's personality.
