After watching the last paragraph of the film, I only feel that socialism is better.
I don’t know if I understood it wrong. The film says: There is only capitalism in the world. The only difference is whether most capital is in the people or in the state. As long as there is state capitalism, there is no political freedom.
I think this sentence makes no sense. It should be said: the vast majority of capital is in the hands of the majority, not the few people. The so-called capital is in the hands of the state, and there is no political freedom. In other words, if capital is only in the hands of a few top people and controlled by them, there will be no freedom.
The vast majority of capital is in the hands of the majority of the people, isn't that socialism? People with more wages pay more tax to the state, and the tax is subsidized by the state to certain poor people.
The last people to survive in this film are the less aggressive people in the beginning of the film. For example, women and children have less attack power in this film, which is equivalent to "weak". Those who showed stronger attack power and desire to control all died, one wave of murder, one wave of fighting each other, and one wave of mutual calculation, the remaining few "strong" were besieged and died by the majority of "weak" .
Those who stay are more peaceful.
At the same time, they have developed to this point because there are no "rules" restrictions, legal restrictions.
The tone of the whole film is chaotic, full of death, violence, sex, all people are partial to animal nature, but human nature is lost. I can't help but wonder, how did society establish its rules in the beginning, and how did it form a civilization? It's probably because groups that don't follow the rules end up with the majority of casualties. After years of interpretation, the strong group left behind is a group limited by "rules".
The beginning of the struggle stems from the unequal supply of resources. The entire floor is like a society. Most people are at the bottom, a few are in the middle class, and a few are at the top. The unequal water and electricity supply and the ineffective feedback have led to dissatisfaction among the people at the bottom. The restriction of the people at the top to use the swimming pool is the ignition point, and the scramble for materials is the climax.
This building is like a world that combines the laws of the end of the world + cyberpunk world.
