Although there are some sci-fi elements in the film, the life scenes in the film should be in the 1940s and 50s, so it is a presentation of the past, not the future. In terms of human nature, the movie is not right.
The film focuses on how these so-called living dead, possessed by aliens, manipulate human society.
At some point in the night, people dormant, and the living dead rebuild the city and recombine people’s memories. There is no day in this city. It fits the characteristics of the industrial age. During the day, people work in dark factories and work by the assembly line. , There is no memory for people during the day, just repetitive actions, and the same is true in this dark city. In the industrial age, various methods were used to improve production efficiency and encourage people to consume. All people are tied to a huge machine. This is true for the rich and the poor. So like in the film, the memories of the poor are replaced with the memories of the rich. , It seems that there is no sense of contradiction and harmony. After the production line and consumption, the vacation by the blue beach has long been remembered. Everyone is in their own position. They think that their position is very important. In fact, they can be replaced at any time, including that often, and see through. The people with these tricks are considered lunatics and desperate to commit suicide.
John is a rebel in this era. He rejects all this. He cannot be hypnotized. When you take the initiative to step out of the dark city of industrial production, you will have superpowers. You can build everything that belongs to you. You just need to refuse.
However, like in the film, few people in the city refuse.
And those living dead are machines or people behind the scenes.
