"Buried Alive"

I stayed up late last night and watched this movie. The whole movie was very compact, but I didn't feel much suspense. I just watched it in a hurry, and I also understood what my own business and other people's business mean. I didn't see any conspiracy in this movie. After watching it, I felt the word "right".
First, from the choice of subject matter, the director exercised his right to freedom of speech to express his dissatisfaction with his own country's launching the Iraq War as a citizen. While explaining the background of the incident, the hatred of a country against a country also seems to be mixed with a feeling that the United States is responsible for it. It is a pity that this kind of country wrongly "takes" the American public. Second, the United States, a country that has always advertised itself as "human rights", the government did not make efforts to safeguard human rights among the civilians in this incident: various departments responded calmly and coldly, and responded too slowly to emergencies. Responding to strategic choices, avoiding media involvement in the monitoring process, continuing the old American way of doing things, and doing everything step by step, the so-called human rights are not considered. Third, the rights of employees are being squeezed by some monopoly industries and big companies. When the protagonist is on the verge of death, the person in charge of the company on the other end of the phone has to make a recording to prove the responsibility. It is really ironic.
Regarding the performance of the family members in the film, I can only say that as Americans, they do what they can do: mothers raise their children, old people with dementia in nursing homes waiting for occasional greetings from their children; Express your love in words. When the protagonist wrote a message to his son, the expression that he desperately wanted to participate in the child's growth but couldn't keep everything in his mouth made me believe that he should be a good father.
After watching it, I thought that if this happened to me, I believe my mother would do her best to rescue me like crazy, and explode her own little universe for those who don't want to care or who can't control it. some effort. I also understand better why in "Where Are We Going, Dad 2" some time ago why Wu Zhenyu choked when Feyman fell into the water and preached that "no one will care about you more than your parents", and found that my strongest support will always be my parents, no matter what Whatever happens, you can see them when you look back.
