Let me first talk about the science fiction part, because the work was released in 1985 and stated that it was something that happened on a certain day in the 20th century. Obviously, compared to the era of the film, the story happened in the future. Its technological background also seems to be in the future. For example, we have seen LCD monitors that were not popular at the time, a full line of automated home appliances, and new plastic surgery technologies for rejuvenation. But at the same time, what we seem to see are people's design from the 1940s, such as everyone's clothing, hand-carried elevators, new devices that are silly and grinning, and even the latest movies like "Casablanca". So this film does not feel like the future or the past. It does not resemble anything that has actually existed. This is the most classic allegory.
Therefore, science fiction still appears as an adjective for cult films. Cult is the best definition of the film. Bizarre plot, bizarre sense of humor, extreme themes, and strong visual performance are the most typical elements of a cult film.
The theme of anti-government is universally recognized. Except for the heroic fantasy clips of the protagonist, every minute of this movie is a mockery of the government bureaucracy. Among them, the two root factors that led to the final tragedy are especially full of gunpowder. The cause of the tragedy of Jil and her neighbor who was mistakenly killed was a small bug in the printing system caused by a fly, which was a pungent mockery of the extremely rigid system; it directly led to the tragedy of the hero Actually, it was because he accepted plumbers sent by non-central agencies to repair his air conditioners. This was a bombardment of the centralized dictatorship. In the end, no surprise, the death of the anti-hero achieved the author's ironic climax.
