The point of view is clear, the plot is general
The first is a critique of capitalism: small people are oppressed by capitalists, struggling to survive in the cracks. Although they may know this reality, they dare not admit it, dare not resent, let alone resist. As long as the capitalists give some sweetness, they will shook their heads and tails like a dog, looking inexhaustibly grateful. John Armitage said he has a family and does not want to be involved in this storm. Many people are the same, knowing all kinds of unfairness, but acquiescing to the brutality and oppression of these capitalists. What can they do besides being content with the status quo and recognizing their fate? As long as they can maintain the basic needs of life, they are enough. In order to avoid people's resistance, capitalists will also make minor adjustments. In fact, people's lives have not improved much. On the one hand, capitalists will give you some preferential treatment, but on the other hand they will exploit. The one who should eat the soil is still lying on the ground to eat the soil. This is why the people at the bottom are clearly working hard to make money, but it is still difficult to change the status quo. Secondly, we are not in an ideological dilemma all the time. For example, consumerism: constantly advocating people to consume, pursuing the so-called fashion and famous brands. The practicability and durability of the product seems to have been left out. In that way, the product is not only a physical object, but also a symbol of status and status. You know it's not worth it, but you still want to buy it. It is precisely because advertisers have taken advantage of people's weaknesses in liking the new and disgusting the old and vanity. Many festivals have lost their original meaning and have become pure consumption. Mid-Autumn Festival, Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc. The way we celebrate is to continue to consume, buy gifts to give away, go out to eat and drink, etc. This kind of entertainment has unknowingly become a norm. On the surface we are free, but in fact we are held hostage by ideology. But to a certain extent we enjoy it, because it is in line with human desires.
