I thought it was 2x speed and forgot to turn it off, but found that this movie comes with 2x speed. It's drama, it's epic, and it's grand. However, from small to big, interspersed with love stories, it is also intriguing. I think the most precious thing about this film is the idea of class reconciliation and the expressionism of the film. The use of bizarre special effects to render the hearts of characters many times is not necessarily popular, but it must be an epoch-making initiative. This film shows the anxiety about the new industrial age, which is why I think: social progress is inseparable from machines, but the awakening of human nature requires freedom. Where there is a society, there must be exploitation, and where there is exploitation, there must be resistance. Therefore, a feudal empire whose mission is to live and work in peace and contentment for the common people can also prosper, and a republic dominated by the search and exploitation of the common people is bound to be resisted. So in essence, capitalism and proletarianism are equated. Nothing is truth. The class reconciliation shown in this film begins with a flat-chested version of freedom leading the people. The hyped reconciler cannot exist in reality. First of all, it is extremely difficult for the ruler to be the dominant one, and once the reconciliation order is issued and uploaded, the interests of the nobles or the top class are intertwined and cannot be controlled by one person.
All reforms and revolutions, whether they succeed, are due to timing.
When the Virgin became a lecherous beast, all the sins surfaced overnight, and lust is fascinating, but it is the fuse of the evil of human nature.
Complimenting the actions of the lower classes, the people at the bottom are the most exploited and the easiest to incite. I believe this film wants to tell us more that the people at the bottom are the bottom no matter what, they need rulers, and they are easily deceived by rulers. We have every reason to believe that Hitler drew from this.
"Man is the knife, I am the fish", this sentence always applies.
As a film, its bizarre conception of science fiction is not to mention shocking, but it is also very valuable in other aspects.
Note: The following is less relevant to this film and is purely personal opinion:
But I thought deeply about the ending of the film. The so-called society will not exist without exploitation. All benefits are not equally distributed. The so-called progress is just to paralyze the people's review of history, to make the people feel satisfied, so they lose their desire to take, and only have a sense of giving, which is exactly what a society needs. Then the income was changed from 19 cents to 28 cents, and 20 cents were distributed to the working people.
The so-called complacent, nothing more than this!
