A sad mockery of capitalism
Marcelino 2022-10-01 04:52:20
It's actually a simple movie, albeit wrapped in a surreal coat. Smoky city, hypocritical and depressing middle-class life, marriage crisis, mysterious night club. Capitalism as a global condition appears invincible, so the film constitutes a sad mockery of the logic of capital's own operation. Loss of wholeness, split personality, exhausted spiritual energy, insulted and hurt, from inner spiritual crisis to outer urban landscape, the general problems of capitalism, this film presents them one by one, but people still There is no self-emancipation from the self-production of capital. The film describes a kind of powerless personal struggle with helpless sympathy. The film finally announces that under the mirror image of capital, self-help personal efforts can only be a kind of regret and futility, which seems almost impossible.

Anthony: Control, it's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge... how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself through out history.
