      Romance in Realist Movies

      I'm so moved that it's not because of my father's determination to buy a house for the family and to work 14 hours a day...

      It's that parents are still working under high-intensity, and they can still be patient with their children's feelings, especially if the male protagonist said that I am...

      Sad weight

      Ken Lodge seems to have always had a tendency to drown himself in the "pain" that will exist in society. For decades, he has been so focused on portraying pain. Behind the simple life flow narrative, there is a sense of pattern consciousness. This film also continues Ken Lodge's realism style,...

      Slightly inferior to its predecessor, but still a good one. It's not actually a simple capitalist issue, as employers also have plenty of time in the film to defend their claims, and Ken Loach tries to make the audience understand everyone's situation, rather than scribbling a sense of indifference Or vicious. This one will actually be more like "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves", which has a deeper complexity than a simple social problem: it is related to the human condition. In modern society, everyone is bound by himself, alienated by the surrounding environment, and the family tends to Due to the collapse, the relationship between people tends to deteriorate, and what Ken Lodge is looking for is not a solution to capitalism, but a kind, human outlet, and what he is asking for is actually more than we think. Less so, but he does ask an important question: What is it that makes us what we are? That's why, even on such a commonplace topic, we are still touched by this simplicity and straightforwardness, just as we are also touched by Toki's classicism. After all, people are people, not machines. people!

      Overwhelmed Jian Luzhi... Whenever a character encounters a dilemma that cannot be solved, he will immediately use a fade out to escape from the scene, and even continue to the end of the movie. It's really a rudimentary confrontation. The father delivers the courier, and the son has to do graffiti against consumerism; the mother works as a carer for others, but has no time to take care of the family... The focus on social criticism is blameless and strong. It doesn't matter what the camera movement is. But it is unacceptable to confuse system problems with family problems to constitute a direct causal orientation. Suddenly from the comedy treatment of the previous stage to the tragic accusation of the latter stage, it is the unexpected events outside the exploitation system that stimulate (express delivery change) and reinforce (snatch incident) contradictions, so as to demonstrate the imbalance of system exploitation, what is the significance ?
