Ideal, never change

A mansion, through closed-circuit television, showed dark tones. This is the beginning of the movie. The conflict had already begun when the wealthy family returned home and entered the living room. All the furnishings they are proud of have been shifted, and the intruder, known as the great educator, left the words "You are too rich", which is enough to make people outside the film feel that security is threatened. It looks like a tight security system, but it can be cracked by the protagonist in an orderly manner.
The film is full of the struggle of the poor's liberalism against the rich's capitalism. The male protagonists play the role of great educators in the middle of the night, repeatedly claiming to pursue ideals and revolution. In Jan’s analysis, the heroine Jule, who is burdened with debts, went from the poor poor who participated in protesting capitalism on the one hand and who was slaves to the capitalists and also moved towards revolution consciously or unconsciously. They wrote huge words in red paint on the wall of the house to be returned, "Every heart is a revolutionary cell", so passionate, a mark of youth and ideals.
But things started when they entered the Jule creditor’s mansion and were found to kidnap him to the mountain. The three poor protagonists went from ambitious plans to realizing the small reality behind their great goal "saving the world" and "seeking self-preservation", and sadly sent them back to the creditor, the rich Hardenberg. Hardenberg went from being imprisoned on the mountain to enjoying life on the mountain freely. He even recalled that he was also a progressive teenager who pursued his ideals.
There are struggles, and there are also attempts to change. Jan questioned his ideals and tried to throw away all the tools, while Hardenberg gave up recovering Jule's debts and vowed that he would not call the police, but he thought about it all night, whether or not.
At this moment, even I will be infected. Give up.
However, some people will never change. Although Hardenberg's heart is full of nostalgia and yearning for his youthful revolutionary career, even though the three realize that their actions cannot save the world, they still have to go the same way as before. So Hardenberg finally chose to report to the police, and the three chose to move away and start a new education career.
At the end of the movie, the police mobile unit rushed into the room and pointed to a piece of white paper on the wall with this sentence written on it. It is like interpreting the final behavior of the two parties, more like a mockery of Hardenberg's failure to adhere to his ideals and compromise with reality. The three of them finally adhered to their ideals and never changed. Revolution, never give up, and very strong.
Turns around the corner, unconventional.

Under the long shot, the reality is present, the soundtrack is sometimes lyrical and sometimes wild, and the atmosphere is undoubtedly rendered.
