Except for the "Three Nos" policy in the last ten minutes, which is full of didactic meaning, the whole film basically interprets and interprets the world with another structure and concept. At first glance, it seems that the whole world is a huge conspiracy, until the interpretation of "religion", suddenly there is a feeling that there is no truth in the world, no panacea answer, even if there is "Tao", then It is also an indescribable existence. Therefore, the interpretation and discussion of this film is also suspected of being a family. Abandoning or simplifying too much existing reality background, to explore the question of how utopia continues and develops. So much so that at the end, there is an inexplicable feeling of subjective political propaganda and religious ideas instillation. Don't make fun of yourself if you've been deceived, fooled, or brainwashed, just take it as a part of your brain opening, "open your eyes and see the world"! (ps: Looking forward to watching the first and third films) The following are some sentences excerpted from the film: War is the continuation of politics, and the economy seems to be the beginning of politics... In the world of money, you cannot trust others... The system is not for Designed by virtuous people... Monetaryism is the mechanism that guides the interests of all countries in the world, and the most powerful and controlling mechanism in this mechanism is the mechanism of enterprise freedom... The basic variable of poverty is the root of all crime... Wrong It will be mistakenly seen as a failure, when it turns out that wrongdoing should be celebrated... Refusing to change the status quo for the sake of status and status, maintaining existing institutions, such comforts, rights and interests will not last long and will only lead to deep insecurities. Equilibrium, then disintegration, inevitable destruction... Every sect holds a closed-world hypothesis... Religion... is purely a fable of mixed beliefs... Religion is another cause of our cognitive loss... Dispatches This false assumption is the mortal enemy of co-development... It's the connection that brings the joy... The real power we have is creativity. During the holidays, we understand the universal connection between things, and if we are guided by the laws of nature, everything will be solved... The Venus Project... It is not to accept the status quo, but to understand... Only through understanding can change, long live understanding...
