Hierarchy precedes family, and family affection gives way to loyalty to the stratum, but everyone works hard for the order of the city-state, not the interests of the stratum. What the film sets is that there is no friendship among all classes, and class divisions eliminate any personal feelings. Without friendship, it is impossible to form a collective and respect each other. There will always be rebellions, and this concentrates on usurping power by force and tyrants.
Here, the film differentiates the conflict between the selfless school and the erudite school. Two lines, two aspects are not well said.
Heterogeneous, they have a variety of characters such as wisdom, bravery and selflessness, which pose a threat to the city-state and may form a dictator, so they must be eradicated. These people have the ability to become tyrants, but they are not in the mood. They want to stay in the city-state, but they are not tolerated by the erudite. Other classes have different attitudes towards these people, the erudite wants to kill, and the selfless wants to tolerate, and the conflict between the two is mainly focused on this point. The erudite hopes that every class maintains full loyalty, just like the process of soldier training, while the selfless party takes into account the multi-facetedness and even weakness of people in addition to stratification, so they tolerate those without class and heterogeneity. In the end, through a hilarious battle, the Selfless is victorious and everything is back to normal. In fact, there can be more conflict of ideas and dialogues to stimulate everyone's thinking.
Soldiers end up not by order, but by hypnosis. This setting is very funny, but it is very realistic. The future army must be inhuman and purely machine.
At the beginning of the whole movie, what I saw was the heroine's growth position choice and family ties, then the class training identity, mainly the soldier training to overcome the fear, not giving up, harsh elimination, friendship and love, and finally how to prevent the dictatorship of intellectuals , restore the old state of class, and finally go beyond all layers and become a whole person. The so-called strong can only leave the city-state, and it is impossible to hide and live in the class. This is very painful.
The story is well told, but not deep enough. The performances of the male and female protagonists are average, and the male protagonist has always been a hidden alien, but unfortunately there is not enough performance. Maybe the heroine can wake up the hero's determination to run away from the city, or the hero can save the confused heroine, so that there will be more opposite scenes. At present, the male protagonist has not revealed his alien identity until the end.
I think:
Many times, in order to find your own position, you don’t want to make use of your strengths and circumvent weaknesses, but to suppress some of your strengths and develop your other strengths. Such a choice process is very painful.
