Vertical Hell - "The Hunger Platform" Film Review This film shows us what a capitalist society looks like. The people at the bottom are hungry, and they give up their humanity for survival to pass on "a jelly" to the upper class, while the upper class thinks that the jelly has hair, so people don't eat it. The perspective I see is that the stratification of the real world is like the iron walls of this prison. Classes and classes cannot be viewed in the same way. How to say? It's like the royal family and nobles have stayed in their own class for a long time, and they can't understand why people in the third world can't afford bread and don't eat cake. With limited resources, the most capitalist side always enjoys the best material conditions, so what about areas that are not well developed? With material scarcity, how can the beautiful superstructure of "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, and beauty" be realized? Upper decision decided by the economic background. I have never believed that "the rich will not last for three generations". Likewise, I believe more in the Matthew effect - "the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker". No one will refuse resources, and no one is willing to take your share of the pie. Human greed is immeasurable. The corruption of South Korean President Park Geun-hye; the sack of corrupt officials in China; the tax evasion of Fan Bingbing. Yes, they are at the top (not rule out some petty officials and huge corruption) but they have no self-control when it comes to resources. "Change is never by self-control". Do not deny that they themselves have problems. What I want to discuss more is when a person faces a lot of wealth, will he always consider the interests of others honestly and respectfully from his heart? Will not. So there will be laws. When it comes to the law, the lawyer recently took 50% of the lawyer's fee, 900,000 yuan, and the client is a migrant worker who wants to save his life. We say that lawyers have no humanity. According to the law, lawyers can indeed get up to 600,000 legal fees. Lawyers take advantage of peasants who don't know big characters. What about his lack of empathy for the poor? He broke the law. But in an avalanche, not a single snowflake feels responsible. On the other hand, will this lawyer's behavior be an individual case? Will not. It might even be called a "representative". Lawyers don't think they're wrong. It's written in black and white, and you recognize it. Right? The law is used to protect themselves, but the simple logic of migrant workers does not know. Friend, do you see that wall of class? You could say that's knowledge, some basic common sense of the law, at will. But it's all soft power stuff. There is no Li Dan in the fourth and fifth lines, and there is no Jin Dong in the first and second lines. People's economic consumption level is there, and the vision is also there. The gap between the first and second tiers and the fourth and fifth tiers is never the tall buildings, and the people are not at the same latitude. It felt like it was downgraded to a blow. People in the upper class don't see the people in the lower class as people, but the people in the lower class stand on tiptoe and look up, but can't see the upper class. human appearance. People have to respect each other because they are in a circle and the kindness and integrity that some people really have in their hearts.
