1927 Sci-Fi Dystopia

Profiteering in the Industrial Revolution The children of the rich have an opportunity to reach the bottom of the society. The workers at the bottom are the "parts" of the industrial revolution enterprises to deliver benefits to the top of the pyramid. If they are broken, they can be replaced.

Instead of being an employee and a boss, spending money to hire someone to do trivial work, the boss can free up his energy to think about more important things

Not destroying electricity, water systems, but destroying organizations and systems that exploit and exploit people

There is a camera error, capitalists will never kneel on the ground and hold their heads, they will think absolutely rationally, how to make decisions to achieve their goals, and think about how to solve problems

Kneeling and admitting one's fate is the way the poor behave

In order to make the capitalists lose, the director made such a distorted detail

The sentence at the end of the film: "The coordinator of the mind and the skillful hand is the heart" This sentence is estimated to be partly lost due to the age and damage of the film, and there is a problem with the translation.

translates to:

The way that mental workers and manual workers get along is: mental workers who are good at thinking brainwash the physical workers who are not thinking, so that the manual workers can consciously abide by the rules of the game formulated by the mental workers

    #Archive# The restoration version of the second brush is a magnificent and rich masterpiece, which is both socially critical and commercial and entertaining. After all, it is produced by the country that gave birth to "Das Kapital", and it is the cover of "The Great Movie" after all. The animal story of the ancient society, the machine alienates the mind; the saint banshee is a white and black swan, a doppelganger with two bodies on one side; the sci-fi design is advanced, and it has influenced countless generations. There are differences in the quality of the deleted frames that were recovered, and I feel that at least four cuts will seriously affect the plot: the relationship between the capitalist dad, the mad scientist and Hel; the dresser can't help but tempt to go to the nightclub (human nature); secret The detective went to the middle-class home to inquire about news to buy him (the villain and "Chang'e in the Moon" are the same person); and most importantly - was the door of the core machine opened by request/violence? The foreman is telling the truth, you fools, didn't you ruin your job by destroying the machine? The construction machinery design of this film can be contributed to #fascinating or frightening giant silent object#, the strange variation Marseillaise of the group riot is very meaningful.

    The regulator of the brain and hands must be the heart. The words themselves are correct, but nesting in the context of capitalism is entirely just as a representation of capital stylization (even using the Tower of Babel fable), and finally the male protagonist acts as an intermediary to reconnect the working class and the bourgeoisie, declaring violence to the working class The impossibility of revolution, the dictatorship of a few elites was sent to the bourgeoisie, and both sides found a suitable position in it to achieve the balance between classes required by society. But behind the seemingly happy ending, lies the premise that capital has alienated people: the working class is reduced to a mob, so it resorts to religious beliefs, eager for apocalypse to bring the prophesied "regulator" and achieve liberation; the bourgeoisie Behaving fragile and sensitive, he threw himself into the mechanical myth of steel in order to grow, and at the same time used its "anti-enlightenment" to paralyze the public (and self). But from another perspective, society is waiting for a few "awakened" among the capitalists to lead the masses (where are they going?), with a hint of utopian socialism?
