Here, the film presupposes a premise, but leads to completely irrelevant conclusions, and promises yet another transcendent communist utopia.
The film does not use irrefutable logic to convince us, but uses images to conquer us. When the three persuasive and enticing people pose as mentors and talk about the "truth" in front of the camera, they play the role of impassioned narration in a traditional Chinese political documentary. And like all conspiracy theories, editing plays a vital role in the construction of the image. Editing not only helps to establish connections, conflicts, and show the seemingly incontrovertible images shot on the spot, but more importantly, it allows you to have no time to think.
Of course, the questions raised by the film are meaningful. Since there are so many problems with capitalism and communism has long been proved to be ineffective, the film has not given specific answers as to where to go in the future.
The characteristic of modernity is that it is separated from tradition, and the future will not come late, and the present becomes an eternity. It’s better to start a spiritual lifestyle that belongs to the future. If you are good at math, go to research, if you are good at liberal arts, go to study. If you are not interested in anything, go to medicine and recite the scriptures. Don’t hang around on Taobao. .
