Is this probably the slapstick acting that a mime should have? I feel that only the heroine's contrasting acting skills are amazing, especially the dance, which is really amazing.
The so-called seven deadly sins, biblical metaphors, and Oedipal tragedy, looking back now, isn't that a bad street? As a new and new human being living in the 21st century, why would you be amazed by it?
Going back to what the story hopes to convey, it actually portrays the resistance of the working class as blind obedience, lack of overall thinking and systematicness, and then expects the awakening of the rich to save the poor? The whole film seems to imply that you are part of the shaping of the world, and that you should keep yourselves in your poverty, resisting and destroying not only yourself, but the world. And what you are fighting against is nothing more than an illusion misled by the wicked, and the rich are irrelevant.
Okay, the upper class is really throwing the blame for it.
Regardless of whether the rich have created the poverty of the workers (obviously, the film does not say it outright, but it strongly contrasts the gap between the poor and the rich. It even deliberately expresses that the rich are just as easily manipulated as the workers. The subtext is " I am also a rich man who is misled, and I have no intention of harming your interests")
The cannibal machine was finally said by the contractor, "The machine is also the basis of your life, and what destroys your life will eventually destroy your life."
? ? ? ?
There may not be any malice between classes, but it naturally causes misunderstandings, contradictions and even disputes between the two sides, and it is irreconcilable. What we can do is to understand more and complain less, and fight for what we want, instead of sacrificing others for self-interest under the pretense of "I want to serve all mankind".
As emphasized in the film, "the brain and the hand need the heart to coordinate".
What exactly does "heart" do in the film? To experience the hardships of the workers, listen to a sermon, and destroy the devil? Does the male protagonist have any "coordination"? He thought to himself that he was nothing more than his "Maria" from beginning to end. This so-called "heart" is just to satisfy the love that arises from nowhere. What to do with the toiling masses? Who did he coordinate? ? ? Why is a disciple of a rich family born a "coordinator"? How can he be?
This ignorant rich boy actually became the support of the workers?
? ? ? ?
During this period, it also showed the inferiority of a worker who got rich overnight? ? ? In the end, it's up to the loyal and stupid dog beside the rich? ? ?
Originally thought to be a pioneering thought in 1927, at least it should have reached the height of 1984, but unfortunately it is just the emperor's new clothes. The intention of the upper class to protect their own interests is wrapped up so brightly, it feels like a hot breath. Extremely distressed!
