Complete despair, no one can be trusted in the whole film, no one can be relied on, the evil of human nature is so cruel and ugly, and it is undoubtedly revealed in front of the class.

What about large-scale? Isn't it essentially an illegal method? But there seems to be only one way for the proletariat to gain the upper hand. In fact, this film also discusses the gradual collapse of interpersonal relationships, and all of this depends on the class at the root, so the two classes will always have only confrontation and cannot be reconciled.
