Review of 7 Prisoners (2021) by Shtilld — 23 Jan 2022

The film touches on a seemingly unthinkable thing in the modern world, like slavery, but what could be more profitable for the owner of the means of production than free labor. The events in the film take place in the lowest, poor, disenfranchised, uneducated strata of the population, but since the basis in labor relations under capitalism is built on the exploitation of the worker and the alienation of labor results, the situation can be transferred to any working collective engaged in real work, i.

E. creating surplus value. So office workers are constantly faced with a situation of overtime, a tight schedule, an extremely scheduled plan, where creativity and quality have already been sacrificed, and the goal is also to maximize profits.

Everyone suffers from the system, the contradiction of the interests of the owner of the means of production and the workers leads to an imminent crisis, or even the collapse of the system itself for the better, or what is more likely with spontaneity, disorganization of workers for the worse.
