Over time the importance of the industrial revolution has been documented in textbooks, stories, songs and above all depicted in films. Today's world often prefigures the past in a repetitive story, depicting ideas and old foundations hidden in allusions to our bygone times. But it seems that through the advancement of modern technology and advanced human thought most films only seek to imitate the aesthetics of the Industrial Revolution, yet it is the ones that simply allude to it or hide it through their work that say the most about the our past. This can be best observed in Juan Solanas' film Upside Down (2012), which creates a new world that explores the dichotomy of today's modern media and advances ideas against the reality of our past history through a dystopian/utopian society. Upside Down imitates the political and economic environment experienced in the era of industrialization representing social inequality, capitalism, and overbearing government; While exercising the film's artistic freedom to develop relevance in the realms of religion, science, nature, and their planet's new advanced culture. Upside Down, starring Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst, is believed to tap into the industrial age through its obvious economic similarities in the inequalities between rich and poor. Set in a new aura and planet, the film tells the story of Adam, a young worker from "Down Below", who falls in love with the beautiful Eden of the parallel world of "Up Above". The fictional worlds created by Juan Solanas bring to life the unique idea of ​​double gravity, which brings the two individual planets together while still allowing for orbit. Each world is uniquely identified through its people, its environment, and their…center of the card…topia of the Garden of Eden before original sin (Top) and after the fall (Bottom). The Fall is one of the iconic aspects of the biblical context, used in the film to represent the corruption of natural beauty through industrialization and the elimination of ethics, morality and justice. In Solanas' film Upside Down and the comparison of the industrial revolution in the United States, audiences can view the conditions of the working class as distinguishing them from the wealthy elite through government inequality, labor-induced segregation, and the acceptance of monopolies. Concluding that, despite the film's "out-of-this-world" differences, it is the similarities that should amaze us. That we should understand enough about our past, that we can draw conclusions and, in turn, be inspired to create or even fully understand a civilization like the one in this film.
