First time watching this type of movie

I wanted to search for cartoons, but I found this treasure. I was stunned throughout the whole process, and even wanted to recommend it to everyone around me.

I don't know how many people are so patient today.

The way of expression and the structure of the story took me by surprise. The aftertaste is more shocking, so that if you continue to watch the cartoon Metropolis, there will be a feeling that it is not a dimension.

I never dare to underestimate the wisdom of people in the past. In any era, there are such excellent people and works. After all, only a few are remembered. Most of them fade away with the passage of time. If future generations are accidentally inspired, they can be activated again. After the second creation, they will have the opportunity to be seen again as new things. Both situations are a repeat of the same mistakes. This is a cultural gene of human beings, meme. This gene slowly advances human social change until a mutation occurs. Another example of mutation in biology, whether it is good or bad, survival or destruction, is unknown.

My grandmother was born in 1925, when this film appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. There are boats, cars, guns and cannons, but all the imagination is devoted to the era of satirizing feudalism and making a living. How to imagine the future.

Poverty limits my imagination. In the 1990s, I didn't think about subway viaducts. Elevators are also a luxury. Children will also feel foreign when they see the car. Flying to the moon is just an abstract and unbelievable concept. How can you think of electronic door locks, supercomputers, 996, and the structure of society, what is politics, what is philosophy, what is art, what is religion.

The poorest imagination is the unimaginable.

The biggest problem is not being able to ask questions.

This movie is not a work that ordinary people can make. The creator must have independent thinking and a complete cognitive system, and also need a certain life experience and courage to achieve such a classic.

He can see the essence and inner logic of things, and can express them clearly. In the form of movies, he conveys a lot of information. The length of the whole film is amazing. As for how to interpret it, it is not the same. The picture is easy to listen to the explanation, and what you get is the interpretation of others, and you lose the real fun of watching this movie. The original information genes were also distorted layer by layer, and finally became what others wanted you to know, not what you saw.

    The regulator of the brain and hands must be the heart. The words themselves are correct, but nesting in the context of capitalism is entirely just as a representation of capital stylization (even using the Tower of Babel fable), and finally the male protagonist acts as an intermediary to reconnect the working class and the bourgeoisie, declaring violence to the working class The impossibility of revolution, the dictatorship of a few elites was sent to the bourgeoisie, and both sides found a suitable position in it to achieve the balance between classes required by society. But behind the seemingly happy ending, lies the premise that capital has alienated people: the working class is reduced to a mob, so it resorts to religious beliefs, eager for apocalypse to bring the prophesied "regulator" and achieve liberation; the bourgeoisie Behaving fragile and sensitive, he threw himself into the mechanical myth of steel in order to grow, and at the same time used its "anti-enlightenment" to paralyze the public (and self). But from another perspective, society is waiting for a few "awakened" among the capitalists to lead the masses (where are they going?), with a hint of utopian socialism?

    What is exquisite and what is grand. . . Facts once again prove that a good sci-fi film does not depend on stunts, but on imagination
