All over the world, 20-40 years old are the mainstay of society, but this is also the age group with the highest suicide rate:
Japanese workers' heads were pressed into hot pot by their superiors;
Many Foxconn jumping incidents;
Suicide while lying on the subway track;
white-collar sudden death;
...
This group of people who have the heaviest work and the greatest pressure on their shoulders mocks themselves as "social animals".
Counting down a hundred years forward, the same "social animals" became the cannon fodder for capital, but they just replaced their office careers with factories.
"Metropolis" in 1927, takes you into the life of "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and social animals" a hundred years ago.
Accompanied by the fiery and rapid symphony, all kinds of machines running extremely fast appeared on the black and white screen.
The shiny metal wheels reflect the dazzling light, creating a dizzying feeling under the multiple mirror images.
The imagery of clocks, inserted from time to time, strongly accentuates this tension.
This is the beginning of the squeezing picture of the industrial age.
Steam blooms like a fountain in the center of the high-rise steel factory.
This is the age of steam that our history textbooks are proud of.
Workers, like criminals, dressed in the same overalls, lined up neatly and shuffled through the arched tunnels in silence.
Regular square brick, standard arched structure, straight black team.
Geometric lines in this film render outrageous cold-blooded and oppressive.
The lifeless procession, head bowed down the arched passage, into the elevator, into their cage - oh no, the "station".
Social animals exist across countries and eras.
As long as there is a "metropolis", there are social animals.
