As for the representation of the stars, there is agreement over the understanding of the big star on behalf of the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Once it comes to the smaller four stars, one opinion projects them as a representation of unification between the people of China under the party's talented leadership; there is another confidence stating that they mean the social layers of society including the 4 classes, specifically the workers class, peasants' class, the 小資 or patriotic capitalists.

There is a strong comparison between the flags of the People's Republic of China or the Republic of China. This comparison at times makes mistakes in the mind of a spectator concerning the individuality of the respective flags. Although the former represents the Chinese flag, the last belongs to Taiwan. The similar colors of the two flags or the like positioning of the design on the top left-hand corner are two structures contributing to the confusion.

Numerous petty bourgeoisie women's enthusiasm for bags can be defined as just "insane". They shop for fashion bags as often as they eat, worry around the delay of the new comings and so on.

With admiration to commerce, designers are now transmitting the idea that your bag or clothes are an organic whole. Although they design clothes, they work out bags of numerous styles to score you. Certainly, they're rather successful in business. You can see lots of women take enjoyment in collecting entirely kinds of bags objective like stamp collecting, the more whole, the well.

The representation of the flag of China is rather interesting. The large gold star is believed to look like the leadership of China's communist party, although the four smaller gold stars are said to characterize the four chief Chinese social classes which are the farmers, the workers, the petty bourgeoisie, or the capitalists. The stars are supposed to be gold to characterize the skin color of the Chinese people, or the flag is red to denote the socialist government.

The story goes like this: a group of six bourgeois friends repeatedly effort to enjoy a meal together, only to be determinedly interrupted by some departure related to sex, dreams, and death. The film contains an amassment of violations that serve to represent the corruption or superficiality of the upper class. This is the main thesis on which the film is based, thus it should come as no surprise that Buñuel decided to end the picture with his characters limited in this useless state of reality.
