Let the house slaves fear and sorrow

Maybe the concept of marriage and buying a house in European and American culture is still different from that of the Celestial Dynasty. If the characters in the play are replaced with yellow skin and black hair from the Celestial Dynasty, and the dialogue is changed to Chinese, it is estimated that the film review department will directly give a X, the satire of reality is a bit too obvious.

The young couple wanted to buy a house in order to pretend to be in love, but were taken to a residential area that seemed to be painted by a real estate agent who looked weird, and then the agent suddenly disappeared and could never go out again. All the houses here are exactly the same, even the clouds in the sky are the same every day, and there are tasteless food every day. One day, a child came and asked them to undergo programmed parenting. If there was a slight disagreement with the program, they would make a piercing scream, and the child grew up surprisingly fast.

The male protagonist wanted to escape by digging a hole, but only the body was dug up, and finally the whole person collapsed and died. The heroine tried to escape this space, but she slipped in a similar space and circled back to the same place, and was eventually buried by the weird child. Weird kids turned into a new generation of real estate agents who continue to fool people.

The atmosphere of the whole film is a bit depressing, especially when we room slaves watched it, it was even more desperate.

Many people have to buy a house and land in a boring and uninteresting city in order to place an imminent marriage. It seems that I have my own house, but in fact, my life has entered a false and boring, and it is difficult to get out of it. That weird kid is the mortgage. Every house slave has to follow the rules of the bank to support the huge mortgage. If you don't follow the rules of the bank a little, the screeching screams will make you feel unbearable. , can only accept silently. Until I was boiled until the oil was exhausted, I was finally sent to the grave by the mortgage. And those developers and banks that have obtained mortgage income have grown stronger to deceive more people into the pit. This enters a cycle, just like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

Maybe it's a bit over-interpreted, but in the house-oriented dynasty, it's hard for people not to think about this. Such a metaphorical film will have different interpretations in different cultures. In a society like Northern Europe where the housing price-to-income ratio is not particularly exaggerated, this film may just want to express people's tiredness of the cookie-cutter social life, and not much else.

No matter what you want, you can't change anything.
