Class Analysis of "Ace Agent"

Talia 2022-10-09 21:12:44

The particularity of "Ace Agents" is that the Secret Service Organization it describes does not belong to any country. There are many special agent movies, but for the first time I saw an agent agency independent of the country. This should be the latest development of global ideology in the field of popular culture. Because secret service agencies are generally violent agencies unique to the country, reflecting the essential attributes of the country. If even the secret service agencies can be independent of the state, it means that the importance of the nation-state has never been lowered.

The founders, funders, and employers of the Ace Agents are a group of super rich, which is also a hint that the bourgeoisie is the dominant player in the current round of globalization. In the movie, the hired never appeared, we only saw the agents fighting at the front desk. The absence of employers shows that the bourgeoisie’s manipulation of globalization is hidden. They hide behind the scenes and use the invisible hand of capital to control the operation of globalization.

When the employer is invisible, what we can see is the inspirational story of a poor boy who stood out from the crowd surrounded by a group of elites and finally grew into a super agent. It can be seen that although the bourgeoisie has a firm grasp of the overall situation, they have to leave a path for the people at the bottom of society to rise to the upper class. Although this road is very narrow, it has to pass through many hurdles and endure the contempt of the upper-class elites along the way. Although the young people at the bottom are still pawns fighting for the rich after they are successfully promoted, after all, being able to rise from nothing to the noble class of gentlemen is enough to appease the bottom of society and give them a glimmer of hope forever. #我是左派文化评家#

    [Gazelle hands Valentine a microphone. Valentine stands up]

    Valentine: Hey all! Everybody listen up! What the fuck is wrong with you people? I just want to remind you all that today is a day of celebration. We must put aside all thoughts of death, and focus on birth. The birth of a new age. We mustn't mourn the ones who give their lives today. We should honor their sacrifice, and their role in saving the human race. We must put aside doubts and guilt. You are the chosen people.
