Is the goose yours, or everyone's?

An era has come, and an era has gone. This five-hour epic is a story of two characters from different classes to illustrate an important core transformation in the human process of the last century.

It must first be great. Human progress is made up of countless changes. Only when changes are brought about for the benefit of the majority can the emotions of people in the ordinary class turn from dissatisfaction to contentment, the revolution stops immediately, and new stability is ushered in. . When the rulers of this new order are in high positions, afflicted physically and mentally, and wish to overextend their interests, a new revolution may follow.

Second, it can be blind. People just swap the master for another out of fanaticism, but they are all deceived by the communist lie of the second master, at the end of the film, a proletarian robs an old lady's goose, the old lady shouts When he was about to take the goose back, the farmer shouted: "The goose is yours, and what is yours is everyone's." The old lady was puzzled: "Why is mine and everyone's?" In the next scene, liberation When the working people were happy, the Liberation Committee immediately issued a ban on guns in order to stabilize the situation. Although the people were extremely dissatisfied, they could only obey the order. This may be because the director expressed his personal standing and also put forward a reasonable point of view, which is the fourth below.

Third, the crimes of some people in the revolution may have been exaggerated. For example, Alfred's father was a very evil landlord, but Alfred still had some old feelings for Depardieu due to his childhood friendship and some experiences. Although following his father's path, his exploitation of the people is not as unreasonable as his father's, and he boldly declares that he has harmed no one (though not necessarily), but the final judgment seems to hope that he will be executed. It is not difficult to imagine that there may be some kind-hearted landlords in the distance, but in the end they may suffer a more tragic fate (similar to what happened to the rich peasants in China in the early years). This is the director expressing a little pity for these people.

Fourth, "Do you know what true sexual freedom is?"

Do you think true sexual freedom can be achieved? Like, did you know that true sexual communalism can be achieved?
The unrestrainedness of any one is the same as having to restrain another, even his thoughts. So your answer must be no.
So it will definitely not come true.
