Is this film a questioning of the Wall Street-style modern economic model? Or a questioning of American living and consumption patterns? Maybe there are. The movie is only realistic, and it doesn't seem to be very deep. Although I also doubt the economic model that relies on playing some digital games without creating any real value, this movie is more just for me to understand. Consider the life of an American of a similar age. The annual salary is 100,000 yuan, which is enough for Ben Affleck to take out a loan to buy a 2-storey villa worth nearly one million. He drives a Porsche sports car to work, and goes to play golf after get off work. He can afford two children. A wife who does not work drives a Volvo V70. . People of my age who earn an annual salary of 10 to W in Shenzhen need a loan to buy a 50-square-meter apartment of nearly one million, which means that even a fast food has to consider whether to eat two meat or one meat, golf, two children , Porsche and Volvo, plus a wife who doesn't work? It's not a real-life movie, it's a science-fiction movie. It seems that it is also plundering, and some classes are more ruthless than the capitalists.
