First of all, I am surprised that Netflix really dares to make this kind of movie. It is very real, because I am working in an African country and I have a deep experience. This is how the ruling class and the slave class are. If you let the poor see too much, it is true Psychologically, it will cause the poor to have a psychological gap. Like the Korean movie Parasite, the poor gradually think that they are one of the rich people. There is no sense of distance from wealth, and they are suddenly brought back to reality. Such a blow is indeed Very large, not only in movies, but also in reality, there are such people, which eventually lead to catastrophe.
As Nietzsche said, be cautious when fighting monsters, and you will become monsters. When you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.
This movie can also be regarded as a kind of warning, a warning to the ruling class. If you treat slaves too much, it is easy to get into trouble, and it also allows me to learn a lot. When you are in the position of the ruling class, you should pay attention to grasping a distance and boundaries with slaves. Class has always made slaves understand their position. For those in the position of the slave class, they always understand that there is a difference between the poor and the rich.
At this point, I think that white people have been relatively successful in ruling the African continent in history. They let the other party understand their position without posing a threat to themselves. They are getting richer and blacks are getting poorer.
