There is no suspense in this film, which is actually far from my original intention of choosing it. But still straight to the heart. What kind of society is really good?
What replaces social harmony is not the drawbacks of the rapid advancement of science and technology. Human nature will involuntarily seek development at any time. You can't stop this. In order to abandon the Holy Spirit, stay away from the crowd, live in the forest, and avoid the high-tech network social networking, but when he lit a kerosene lamp in order to make a bomb, he forgot that the kerosene lamp was 100 years earlier. In the past, it was also considered "technology". People gave up candles and chose oil lamps that brighter and lasted longer. This is also the progress of science and technology. The bicycle that Ted used to travel was also a mechanical progress that made the rhythm of life easy and accelerated 100 years ago. You cannot go back to the "original" completely, purely. To be primitive is not to reduce material conditions, but to always restrain "dependency" and not be controlled by external things.
Due to the lack of love, it is a pity that even though the manifesto has words, it is still one-sided, and Ted is not capable of taking all the complex social psychology into consideration.
However, under the anxious social psychology of this world, it is indeed easy for him to influence some people who are not good or bad, and can soothe some hearts and make them worship the proclaimer.
In short, this film is a reminder of the process of industrialization, but more importantly, it is a reflection on love, loneliness, and individual reconciliation.
