The idea of this film is still good, and many aspects are involved. A small city, a miniature world. It is about the future of mankind, the plot of the end times, and the innuendo of the real society.
A small society is basically complete. The greedy and selfish mayor represents the ruling class; the kind black woman in the greenhouse can be said to represent the farmers; the male protagonist who can represent an engineer or a scientist is his father; the choir reflects religious complex; as for the two protagonists, It should be regarded as a reformer who has practiced and achieved success... If you look closely, everyone can find a certain social position.
One of the more interesting plots in the film is the distribution of work. It is difficult to tell the fairness and injustice of society. It is both ridiculous and cruel. It is difficult to imagine the heroine being a plumber.
I always feel that the beginning is better than the end. Seeing that it is a treasure hunt routine, it feels nondescript, although the sunrise is beautiful. There are indeed some flaws in the movie, and the rhythm is also a bit inappropriate. Generally speaking, it can still be watched, but don't expect too much.
PS: The heroine is very good, I like it
