    On the surface, this is an epic silent film full of imagination, with a grand story and characters, gorgeous and meticulous to perverted scene design, and the crazy group play from the second act, all shocking, I will probably never forget that artificial turntable. In a deep sense, this film also breaks through the limitations of dystopian films. It does not stop at the surface of overthrowing tyranny, but goes deep into the discussion of the argument of class coexistence, and even combines it perfectly with religion.
