The cruelty of reality and the beauty of ideal

This is a classic dystopian form. The hunger platform is like a social class from top to bottom. The upper class has unlimited resources, but they plunder it recklessly, and the lower class fights bloody for food resources.

In the film, the book "Don Quixote" is constantly mentioned, which is also about the contradiction between ideal and reality. The contradiction between ideal and reality in the film is reflected in the little girl at the end. The little girl herself is the embodiment of the ideal, but the reality is that only the pudding is delivered in the end, and the chefs don’t care what happened to the pudding. The reason for the struggle not to be eaten is that there is a hair on it.

    Play a low-budget movie of concept, with a disgusting anti-social, anti-human plot, watch it with caution. It tells an experimental fable, a dystopian world similar to "Snowpiercer", where people are allocated resources according to three, five, nine, etc. But the irony is that what could have been a communist utopian society - everyone could be happy as long as everyone got what they wanted. Unfortunately, in the end, it shows the evil of human nature. The film has obvious and straightforward metaphors. The ending is also similar to "Snowpiercer", leaving an open ending that seems to retain hope but is actually nothing, 3.5 stars. . .

    Very "white", even more direct than "Parasite".
