Elizabeth Bennet

I will echo what others have said in large part. The biggest mistake in this movie was to contrive conflict by depicting entropy and utter chaos when the residents could have kept themselves together and then easily left at any time for resources elsewhere. They certainly had the resources. The depictions of misogyny throughout the classes makes me think this is a movie more about patriarchy than class conflict? But then why would the women have all waited until the very end to allow the men to degrade them, hit them, kill their horse, dog etc? Then suddenly they organize and become ruthless, out of the blue? What precipitated anything that happens in this movie? The answer is nothing. It’s is all random. The Che poster isn’t not really Wilder’s, only his wife (Moss) stays in that room from what we see. Wilder is always seen as restless and roaming. Dont know what that means, that’s she is the true class protagonist? *Maybe* the Thatcher quote doesn’t quite match up either…Perhaps Ballard/director was saying that in Communism , we eat ourselves faster than in Capitalism? I don’t know.
