Allegory of Hierarchy and Resource Allocation

D'angelo 2022-03-16 09:01:03

A social fable movie, the design is very fine.

1. Resources are inherently scarce, and no matter how they are allocated, they cannot satisfy all the population.

2. The selfish nature of people is to satisfy their own desires as much as possible. When resources are allocated from top to bottom, of course, the further down the resources are, the more scarce they become.

3. The adequacy and scarcity of resources will result in completely different values ​​and behaviors of different classes. In other words, morality has nothing to do with wisdom or human nature. If a person does not change his values ​​with the change of class, it will lead to inability to survive.

4. The changes in the real social class will not be as frequent as people feel in the movie, but on the scale of hundreds of years, it is not so fixed, and the randomness is indeed very large.

5. There is no underlying "spontaneous solidarity" to change the rules of resource allocation. The rules can only be changed under the interference of external forces.

6. Violence is always the most fragrant.

    It might be more fun if this setting was made into stop motion, the real feel is too blatant

    The same movie or Snowpiercer is pleasing to the eye. Even though many people are analyzing metaphors, after all, the cultural differences are so vast that they cannot comprehend.
