Describing the future satirizes reality

Laughing at the present

Loans were invented by the Americans and then introduced by the Chinese. Then the U.S. economy was in crisis, Americans were scolding loans, and the Chinese were still enthusiastic.
Since you can buy a house, a car, and a computer with a loan, why can’t you buy human organs? So the logic of this movie is just to expand the scope of the loan, and then add the cruel practice of recycling, but it is essentially no different from the bank's repossession of the house.
Suppose someone bought a house, lived for many years and lived happily for a period of time, and then the house was repossessed because he could not repay the loan due to an emergency, and then the family broke down and finally committed suicide.
I'm sure no one would say that banks should be held responsible.
But isn't the logic the same as what is said in the movie?
It's just that you committed suicide because the bank repossessed the house; in the movie, the recycler is sent to kill you.
So we think the bank's approach is reasonable; the movie is vexatious.
Because we can't stand the fiction of one person being killed right in front of our eyes, but we can tolerate the reality of the slow suicide of thousands of people thousands of miles away.

    Looking at Jude Law’s face, I almost couldn’t keep going. The concept of the film was a good novel reality, but it was too bloody, and a lot of shots of human organs were nauseating.

    Jude Law's acting skills are really good. It is not a natural talent. Although it is full of traces of later training, it is better than no acting skills. The OST of this movie is a bright spot, a big bright spot, a big bright spot, it is simply light radiation...

Repo Men quotes

  • Remy: My job is simple. Can't pay for your car, the bank takes it back. Can't pay for your house, the bank takes it back. Can't pay for your liver, well, that's where I come in.

  • Remy: Almost every job I do ends the exact same way. Some whimper. Some cry. Some even laugh. But in the end, they all do the same horizontal mambo, twitching and thrusting their way into the great beyond.
