Recently, I have come into contact with some good things.
Analyzing the current problems in movies from the perspective of the proletariat. The viewpoint of this video producer is not very straightforward, you can feel his implicit criticism of the development path after 1978.
Simply put, with the active disintegration of collective ownership (the content of his previous video), the Chinese proletariat has fallen into a serious spiritual dilemma, and the collectivist spirit and proletarian culture that rely on collective ownership have gradually disappeared.
With the development of the economy, film and television works with consumerism as the core and catering to the interests of the middle class (or small citizen class) have emerged in the 21st century.
For a period of time, the narrative of realism basically disappeared in film and television works, leaving only false love, showcasing luxury goods, and success myths in the story. Movies have completely become a vassal of consumerism, giving the middle class illusory dreams.
Both the male and female protagonists are flawless gods in the story, playing the role of effortless social elites in bustling cities,they have a lot of time wasted in empty and uninteresting love and play.
The true process of social operation will never appear in film and television works, nor will the real laborers who strive to make a living appear in movies.
But with the changes in the economic environment, the myth of 'hard work leads to success' has gone bankrupt, and audiences will increasingly dislike these empty and unrealistic films. Those directors, screenwriters, and actors who live well can no longer imagine what true poverty looks like.

This actually brings the topic to a deeper realm:The censorship system is not as important as imagined, and what is even more frightening is that the entertainment industry is completely disconnected from the people due to the influence of capital.
