Class Contradictions and Love in the Reverse World

"Reverse the World" perfectly visualizes the gap between the rich and the poor in the social stratum level, etc. with the upper and lower levels of the reverse world, which is intuitive and in-depth. Two worlds, two classes, with the unfolding of the plot, the contrast between the two worlds can be intuitively seen everywhere. The fairy tale beauty of the place where the protagonists meet and fall in love, the dilapidation of the lower world, and the prosperity of the upper world all form a sharp contrast. The plot design of items in other worlds will burn profoundly reveals the intensity of this contradiction. It seems that this film can definitely be used as a school sociology textbook.

It's a pity that compared to HTC's background, the plot is too simple, and the love between the hero and heroine is not described in enough detail. How could the heroine fall in love with a useless poor boy? In just a few short sentences, how come the female lead is so reluctant to part with the male lead, and even takes the initiative to call the male lead.

The biggest flaw of the movie, I think, is that the ending is too sloppy, simple and far-fetched. When the male protagonists gave up, the fat uncle who was playing tricks in the whole play suddenly rushed out and reversed the situation, which was too abrupt. In particular, the uncle said that he bought the patent right of the mask with stamps and the heroine said that she was pregnant. These two plots are really superfluous.

A reality is also revealed in the movie, that is, not everyone can enjoy freedom and happiness in the splendid upper world.

Overall, just for the background creativity of the story and the beautiful pictures in those few minutes, this is also a movie worth watching.
