The prison in the movie actually mirrors the real world very well.
Food can be regarded as all resources in the real world. The upper class squanders resources at will, and the lower class cannot even get the resources to survive.
Similarly, in real life, the food, water and other resources we waste are the resources that people in remote countries and poor areas can only dream of to keep them alive.
So in order to survive, these people can only kill each other, they can only slaughter other creatures, and they can only destroy the ecology.
I think the first inspiration of this movie for me is to realize the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. The premise of maintaining the earth's ecology may be to make the first "cake" big enough, without considering how to divide the "cake", because it is obvious that if you want to distribute it equally It's out of reach.
The "cake" is so large that the poorest have basic living conditions.
The second is to limit the squandering and destruction of resources by those who already possess resources sufficient to ensure survival.
Another inspiration is actually similar to the idea of watching "I'm not the God of Medicine".
In the film, the male protagonist already had the idea of making rules to change the environment when he was on the 33rd floor, and he started to implement it when he reached the 5th floor.
Because only the upper layer has the bargaining chip to restrain the lower layer, and has the power to formulate reasonable rules.
Therefore, keeping the original intention and breaking through the circle is the most important thing.
The last inspiration is that revolution and rule-making are inseparable from violence:
Several protagonists in the film tried many times to persuade others to make rules through peaceful means, but the probability of success proved to be very small.
Because there is a generation gap in the thinking of the upper and lower levels, in many cases only coercive measures can be taken.
Just like the outbreak of this epidemic, many people do not understand the national conditions, the importance of dynamic clearing, or even the importance of wearing masks, so they oppose the abuse policy.
The best solution, then, is coercive measures and popular science.
