The relationship between film and reality is an allegorical relationship rather than a mirror or photographic relationship. It should be a one-to-many relationship with the finiteness of the form versus the infinity of the meaning. "The Ninth District" saw too many problems that people dare not face in reality, such as racial discrimination, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the alienation of the relationship between people. These problems are constantly being highlighted in our lives under the guidance of consumerism. Some problems are hidden deeper by the fast-paced urbanization life, but once the problems emerge, they will explode in extreme forms. As a film, "The Ninth District" is mainly to fulfill the responsibilities of art. However, returning to these problems in reality still requires every audience to face up and deal with it. This is the limited form of the film and the infinite meaning. From the complete picture, you can experience the imprints of multiple social consciousness.
