It seems to happen, and it doesn't seem to be - "The Hunger Platform"

It's hard to describe "The Hunger Platform" in one sentence, it's a metaphorical dystopian story. In this film, a fictional management center has 350 floors. Food is delivered from the first floor to the bottom every day. People can only eat their own inmates. Clearly, these metaphors refer to various classes in our society. In the film, everyone will change floors every month. Once those on the lower floor move to the upper floor, they will not only waste food, but also do some insulting things on the food, such as urinating, Spit etc. When the male protagonist said, you will also be replaced next month, the male protagonist's cellmate said, I know. Listen, isn't this the various people in our lives? Those who are in high positions but don't care about how the lower class live and only care about their own enjoyment; those who gain power and intensify their efforts; and those who are smoothed out by society... These can be found in the film. There are all kinds of people in the film, idealists, thugs. The film uses a curious setting to show us a miniature society that puts aside the phenomenon and goes straight to the essence. At the end of the film, the milk jelly was sent back as a signal, but the message it wanted to convey was not conveyed. There is a wall between the upper and lower layers, I can't imagine your happiness, you can't imagine my pain. After watching the movie, I want to say something, but I can't say it, just like the movie, it seems to say something, but it doesn't seem to say anything. There is certainly no prison in the film in reality, but, I dare not say that it did not happen.
