Know what to say but don't know what to act

After reading it, you will feel that you don’t know what to say, and it’s a bit confusing; that’s because he’s not a “normal” story director and didn’t shoot it normally; in fact, to put it bluntly, he just wants to show the class struggle in society in a disguised form and expose the different classes of people. Human nature! However, due to the lack of a core narrative line, people will feel inexplicable in the process of watching it, and it is difficult to remember anything after reading it. In contrast, the film of the same theme, such as Snowpiercer, is much better than this!

    Indie directors like Ben Whatley are actually quite interesting, even if the trailer is beautiful, it's not that Hollywood type of movie. Now the logic of the second half is not straightened out, but the theme that I want to express makes people understand.

    Dialogues on dystopian subjects are not easy to understand. . . I'm really curious about why Chinese people have Chinese subtitles when they watch Chinese movies in China, why British people don't need English subtitles when they watch English movies in the UK. . . Do native speakers understand all of them? As a native speaker of Chinese, I can't understand all Chinese movies. . . Wait for the subtitle group. . .
