The (capitalist) social problems of institutional oppression and class solidification were clearly photographed by the Germans as early as the last century, which is really amazing. In the cannibalistic capitalist society (Metropolis in the film), the masses are insensitive and gradually become manipulated machines, parts, and can only pray in the grave, relying on religion or other beliefs for solace. Once a problem occurs, brainwashing and sealing are essential. In order to eliminate voices with different positions, religion, literature, public opinion, science and technology, anyone and everything can become a tool for those in power, so as to symbolize, magically, and stigmatize the voice of the voice, so as to provoke class antagonisms. , racial discrimination and other internal struggles, and then blur the focus, divert the contradictions, and then come out as a fake baker, reasonably handle the "responsible person" to calm the "public anger", and use extreme operations to eliminate the created imaginary enemies (different voices and speakers, etc. ), invert black and white, confuse the public, cover up the fundamental problem, and achieve a certain purpose of firmly holding power in one's own hands. After the turmoil, what is the truth and what is the truth will never be known. What I see in stories like this is our fragility, our human frailty. No matter what age we are on this road is not easy, ask where our hearts want to go, life is very long. I can feel that the director tries his best to develop the storyline from an objective and detached perspective, reducing the involvement of autonomous feelings. It is estimated that it is to let the audience in front of the screen think independently and judge rationally. The imagination of the last century is still shocked today, worship.
