Whether it's fair or dystopian, the first half of this movie is undoubtedly extremely exciting, compact, tense, coherent, and inverted.
Marvel at the screenwriter’s imagination and realistic way of thinking. Isn't that the way our lives are? Hierarchical barriers are replaced by every level. The hard life of the people at the bottom is manifested by running and selling their cheap labor. I use my own life to buy things, which is quite a metaphorical setting. This setting is undoubtedly amazing!
However, when the handsome men and beautiful women ran away together in the second half, there was a relatively big problem, that is, why did the heroine betray her father? In other words, she went from carefully "predating" and enjoying other people's time to feeling that life is indifferent and fairness is higher. Why is it? This transition is almost instantaneous, and the plot is missing in this aspect.
Then it has changed from a grand framework to a story of male and female robbers. This story, driving high and low, falling into clichés, does not deeply explore the regularity of human society. When people can get extra time for free, can it be eliminated? Evil, is the male and female master really the savior? Conceptually, can we go one step further, with a little thought? Now that you have photographed such a subject, you don't have to take the cool line of writing anymore.
