Atypical Barcelona

I've recently gotten used to watching light-hearted comedy films, and suddenly a "Beautiful Mistake" with a length of more than 140 minutes slammed into my face, which was a bit overwhelming. To be honest, I watched it for an hour before I realized it was in Barcelona, ​​I always thought it was Mexico, a slum area, a black illegal immigrant who sold fake brand-name bags and ran drugs when he saw the police, working 16 a day A Chinese illegal immigrant who is not as good as living as a pig and a dog when he was young...
Javier Bardem's acting skills are really good, a single father who is about to end his life, relying on finding a way to live for Asian and African illegal immigrants to get some intermediary fees and channeling with the dead Barely making a living, with two young children, a neurotic and unreliable wife, a rambunctious and unreliable old brother, doing something good with a good conscience accidentally killed 25 illegal immigrants... Really There is no peace in being a ghost.
What is shocking is the life of those Chinese illegal immigrants. A group of people sleep in the locked basement floor at night, they are called to work at 6:30, they sit in front of the sewing machine for 16 hours, or go to the construction site for the boss who wants to save money. Working as a construction worker that they didn't understand at all, suffering endlessly, and finally dying collectively from electric heater poisoning and being thrown into the sea... Personally, I feel that the homosexuality between two Chinese men is a bit unnecessary.
