Just finished watching, sharing my personal opinion. To put it bluntly, the building is a symbol of the system. As long as you watch the movie with this point of view, you will not understand what the movie is trying to express. Since the first time I saw it, I only understood the meaning of some people, let’s talk about the protagonist first, the protagonist is nothing special except for being handsome, don’t expect him to save the world, because the protagonist is a selfish, obedient five-good citizen, I I think the protagonist represents most of us. First of all, we must live our own lives well. No matter what major events happen in the outside world, as long as the crisis has not reached us, we don’t care (82:30 dialogue part, 71::25 The protagonist’s first gaffe is only for one reason Bucket of paint), a bit like Martini Mora who wrote confessional poems. It can be seen from people's reactions after the power outage in the building. Others are doing a doomsday carnival. There was no resistance and ended up being part of the building. I think Wilde is a hero. He is the only one who thinks that there is a problem in this building and wants to resist. As the people at the bottom, his appearance is not as good as that of the protagonist, and his skills are not as good as the protagonist, but he still bravely stood up and accused him. The silent behavior of the protagonist is the most terrifying. In the end, Wilde failed, because of his isolation and recklessness. I haven't figured out what the women in this film represent. My personal guess is that they are idiots who are happy when they give a little sweetness, a part of the crowd that is best ruled, a symbol of powerlessness and brainlessness.

I watched this film entirely because of Dousen, and I finished watching it because of OCD, so I endured the discomfort the whole time. The collapse of a utopia, like the collapse of the human body, can of course be an interesting subject, depending on how you talk about it. The film is full of pointless, dirty porn and violence, blurred characters, and unintelligible plot settings. The photography of some scenes is laudable, otherwise it's a disaster.

I don't study deeply the capitalist economic system, and although I can't find resonance, I don't dare to comment.
