This movie is not highly rated, like many bad movies, but in fact bad movies are not necessarily low in depth, and literary movies are not necessarily high in depth. It is similar to many American sci-fi bad movies. While taking into account the commercial nature, it is mixed. I bought my own dry goods.

Let's look at the plot. After the emergence of superpowers, they did not become the proud, but became special workers, relying on their superpowers to do ordinary people's work exponentially. Please note here that from these work, it can be seen that the abilities of superpowers play a decisive role in the promotion of social productivity. Even if they do not commit crimes, superpowers have enough ability to support themselves. But why does the society in the film not only not guide these people, but also try to squeeze the living space of these people through various policies? Turning to the Chinese political textbook, you can easily see the reason. The monopoly of capital develops science and technology only to obtain a lot of surplus value, not to develop productivity itself. When the rise of the super-power class itself affects their existing interests, they will of course deal with it. So seeing this, I think many people understand why this society has so many ways to monitor superpowers, because the upper class itself is ruled by superpowers! The upper class holds the most advanced force in the world, namely the productive forces. The core of these interest groups is themselves superpowers, but they are more concerned about their other identity: capitalists. Although there is no description of the upper class in the film, it can be easily inferred from the side. The leader of the non-government superpower organization villain in the film is a mind-reader. He is not essentially different from a politician. He wants to realize his own interests through the hard work of others. In the end, the protagonist saves the city, but the numb people have been brainwashed by the media all the year round, and instead repel the super-powered people even more, it is really sad.

So does the superpower implied in this film exist in reality? Of course, there are people who are not really superpowers, but people who have the ability to promote social development, people who can represent the most advanced productive forces, and people who contribute value to society by their own labor. These people are actually superpowers, but they are squeezed. ,persecution. The upper class monopolizes the knowledge resources of the upper class. They have mastered the most core technology and knowledge, but maintain their rule. Ordinary people are numb under the media controlled by them and can't tell who is the enemy. This is capitalism.
