The status quo reflected in the play is actually a true reflection of the reality of today's society. The poor work desperately, struggling to produce to feed the rich, while the rich exploit the poor with constant inflation. Some are born on the brink of death, counting time in minutes and seconds, while others are born with eternal life. The film is obviously alluding to the current plundering of the world by the big capitalists represented by Wall Street. Seeing this, I can't help but smile knowingly, this is an excellent film in which Marx's thought shines brightly! ~~
The first half of the film is a masterpiece. The difficult living conditions of people in the slums are reflected in the cold image, which is really sad, especially the scene where the mother died on the street because she couldn't sit in the car. Impressed me. But in the second half of the shoot, it obviously lost its original depth. The director did not continue to explore the root cause of all this, but instead told the story of male and female thieves robbing the bank, which seems superficial. In addition, the male protagonist is determined to break this system, but in the end there is also a way to find a fundamental change. No matter how you look at the bank robbery, it seems that the two young people are looking for excitement, so their behavior has lost its sense of sublime, and it seems a bit anticlimactic.
Such a good theme could have been made into a classic with profound practical significance, but due to anticlimactic, it has become a downright popcorn movie. It’s a pity, what a pity it’s a good theme!
