The quality of the film itself is average, and it is adapted from historical facts, and the plot has been largely framed. But what is more worth mentioning about this movie (or this period of history) is its rebellious spirit from the perspective of capitalism. To a certain extent, "Rose Island" is a social philosophical reflection and discussion on the current political system, nation-state, power, and freedom of postmodernism and deconstructionism.

Even the so-called "freedom and democracy" in modern civilization, under the current political system, there are borders of freedom. The monopoly of the media's right to speak has endowed political power with legitimacy in social consciousness. In the final analysis, the existence of the "state" is a product of class struggle, a violent machine.

The capitalist system will not die in a short period of time. Rose Island will of course be blown up, but the absolute freedom of a small country and a few people is not the ultimate goal of human social development. But in terms of the current level of productivity and cognition, the symbolic meaning of Rose Island is far greater than its actual value in challenging the democratic and free system. At a time when people's thinking ability is paralyzed in consumer society entertainment to the death, critical spirit is the basic quality that every individual should not lose.
