In line with the consistent style of A24: sophisticated commercial production, the theme points to the "eccentric" of the niche. The three lines are cut in parallel, the rhythm is in harmony, and the climax is reached at the end. The soundtrack editing is good. Feel the thick American culture, the alienation of family, the indulgence of sex and drugs, the emptiness of people, the cult of fame and money, the confusion of freedom and love. The root causes of these problems are the solidification of classes, polarization, and people's lack of spiritual beliefs brought about by the pure commodity economy based on money. There is no discipline, so there is no love. There is no ability to withstand emergencies.
Everything has to come to the human standard.
The economic difference between communism and capitalism is that, although both pursue prosperity, the difference between the two is:
Capitalism is based on money, it pursues wealth in aggregate, so it doesn't care about everyone, so it is meritocracy, class solidification and serious polarization. Its policy of benefiting the people is only to prevent them from causing riots and affecting the interests of the upper classes. In order to appease the people, the concept of absolute freedom was put forward, but the backward public education deprived people of the right to think deeply, so the people at the bottom would "freely have nothing", but they could not make a fierce resistance to the government, because "weakened the government" function" is what they themselves called for. Everything is to suppress the people and consolidate the interests of the upper classes.
Communism is people-oriented, the pursuit of money is for people, and the purpose of getting rich first is to drive wealth later.
Of course, many rich people in the United States have communist ideology, which can be seen from the donation of all property after death and the call for the construction of public facilities and the improvement of the welfare system. From an artistic point of view, there are many movies and literature that reflect the inner emptiness caused by absolute freedom. Although it only stays on the surface, it is also a sign of awakening.
