Germany in 1927 experienced the defeat of the First World War and just restored the production level before the war. However, the development of productive forces must not be separated from the main force of the working class, and the film also reflects the story of the uprising of the working class under the oppression of capitalism.
The workers have been oppressed for a long time before, why didn't they immediately resist because they still have a home and a life, their minds have been brainwashed in the bottom city, what they lack is a belief and a leader, and the fake heroine just awakens everyone. The most struggling aspect of a worker's heart, their thinking has also changed, why the people in the bottom city can never get to the top, and even when they talk about it, they are not used to it, because they have no faith and no thoughts of their own, just like robots repeating The instructions given above were repeated again and again, as if the vast majority of people in the society at that time were not motivated and just wanted to eat.
As a sci-fi film at that time, it can be said to be the ceiling. The layout of the scene includes the imagination of the future. The videophone imagined by the director in 1927 has now been realized, and the silent film can better reflect the foundation of an actor without relying on words. It can tell the audience the psychological changes of the characters in the film.
