The movie, as is obvious to anyone who has even read it's Wikipedia page, seems to be a pretty obvious critique of capitalism. The problem is the solution the movie finds for the problems of capitalism. It wants the head, the ruling class, and the hands, the working class, to be mediated and united by the heart. If you've brushed on the history of fascist movements in the early 20th century this should be incredibly familiar to you. It promotes a "resolution of class conflict" not that dissimilar to the corporatism that was espoused by Mussolini or the many petty dictatorships of the Americas and eastern Europe.
