It's not Foolish Old Man moving mountains, but "Fool Man in Dangerous Building"

Another wonderful Russian film, the story takes place in Russia, but we seem to know each other, as if such a story is repeated around us every day. First of all, looking back at history, Russia has never been a democratic country. As a representative country of Eastern Europe, it is also a representative country of the Orthodox Church. They have no border with Western civilization. From Peter the Great to successive tsars, to the Soviet regime, autocracy and centralization have always been Even if they raise their arms and embrace Western civilization after "shock therapy", what they forge is still today's "Putin the Great". In fact, Russia has never changed. Second, you will find that it is often not the authority that kills the enlightener, but the rabble that the enlightener wants to rescue. This is the deepest and saddest part of the film. It reminds people of Mr. Lu Xun's "Medicine". The blood dripping on the "Human Bread" is the blood of enlightened people. Always feed the deadly numb. Once again, when you know that this is a group of numb people, do you still want to save them? When the foundation of a building is rotten, the Illuminati must be in pain, just as the male protagonist can't sleep no matter what, the sense of justice at this time is precisely That "The fool", everyone is sleeping, do you want to smash that iron house, or become a sleeper like the officials in the film who will never be woken up. Finally, I would like to say that such sensitive films have emerged in Russia in the past two years, including the excellent "Leviathan" in the past few years. Russian directors have begun to rethink the source, legitimacy and meaning of the regime. This type of film is still funded by the government, and this film is also funded by the government. In this sense, Russia has made progress.
