Talk about some feelings:
1. When the economic crisis comes, government intervention may be what the people want.
Talk to some people with no economics training about economic issues, and their first reaction to unsatisfactory aspects of the market is almost always to mess with the government. Is it human nature to rely on government intervention? Why is it that when people encounter market problems, people's natural response is not "Less government and more market?" In the face of economic crisis, people trust visible power more and sneer at invisible hand.
2. This work is a timely work in the ideological struggle of the year. In today's China, it lacks context and is dull.
Back then, when the Soviet Union was strong, liberal countries were in decline, and the West yearned for the Soviet Union's planned economy. Liberal thinkers naturally want to cheer for the ideas they espouse. If you put this work in the early 90s, there may be some resonance. Today, after more than 20 years of high-speed marketization, our society no longer discusses these issues on a large scale.
To put it simply, it's normal for me to have no feelings for this movie.
