In fact, there is no need to explain much about this film, the metaphor is obvious and straightforward, and everyone knows it well. The so-called totalitarian, whether it is a small family or a big country, you know, the methods are those. The burning of books and Confucianism is neither unprecedented nor unsuccessful. Retreat, foolish people, high-pressure, all over the world have had or have the same mystery rulers.
The three children in the film reflect people's various mentalities in the face of power and the different destinies caused by them. My sister is more curious and courageous. This type of person is often the one who suffers the most, but she is the only one who can escape and see the outside world. The boy is the most stupid and obedient, and his brain has been washed the most thoroughly. He can't see his pathos at all, so he occasionally has "good fruits" to eat. The younger sister has a tendency to liar and violence, and these people will grow up to be accomplices and thugs of the ruling class.
Is this movie ridiculous? How do I feel so familiar. Isn't that the reality? You have also been brainwashed.
