In general, it is a film that I personally like with a proletarian as the protagonist. It is fortunate that there is no Soviet-style mania and violence, and no destructive activities are carried out by coercing the people in the name of the people.
As for the contradictions in the film, there are bad elements among the people, and the government itself is clean and pure. This right-handed approach is actually rational.
The image of a peasant who has relocated and experienced suffering, and the whole world is one, seems to be more proof of the necessity of some kind of "uniting"; Retaining family and rationality in an extreme situation can instead highlight the good qualities of the proletarians and make them more convincing.
The hero's left-wing remarks when he bids farewell to his mother is regrettable, but he is fortunate that he is not extreme left. He was not incited by others but embarked on the road of self-research and discovery. Restraint does not diminish or even disappear when it encounters its own kind.
Looking back at the title of the film, there is a hint of wit and poetry.
