1. I am most afraid of seeing such a down-and-out middle-aged man... No matter how bad the situation is for young people, there is always a chance to turn around; the hardships of the elderly are also very sad, but the story is coming to an end after all, and it can be broken; However, if middle-aged people cannot live a dignified and decent life, on the one hand, it is difficult for them to have the determination and courage to start over.
2. There is a difference between poverty and despair, and the latter is coupled with mental breakdown and extinction of hope. The best example is Kong Yiji.
3. Illegal immigrants are a truly vulnerable group. I don't know the language in foreign countries, I don't have a skill, and I don't have the help of relatives and friends. And because of their own illegal identity, it is too late to hide everywhere. When their rights and interests are violated, they will not dare and will not protect their rights and interests, so they will inevitably become the most suitable cheap labor force to be squeezed. When I saw the Chinese employees in Spain in this movie, I thought that since I learned English and Spanish, I might be able to help this group in the future. But these are for doing, not for speaking.
4. People are responsible for their actions. Guilty comes with punishment, and if there is a bad ending, then there must have been countless rash and dissolute choices.
5. I firmly believe that people at the bottom of society should not have children. If you can't provide them with a good environment to grow up, no matter how much love you have, this decision is very wrong, and all your mistakes will be borne by the child. Last winter, when I was walking on the street shivering, a few big-bellied rural women with their heads and faces turned ashen with cold came up to me and asked me if I wanted to apply for a fake certificate. My first thought was, why are they getting pregnant? ! Isn't the suffering you endured enough? And let an innocent life come into this world destined to endure more suffering - this life does not even have the right to choose and protest! Therefore, although the male protagonist Uxbal in the film loves his children very much, he is not worthy of having them.
6. Well, the premarital examination is still to be done. How can you marry a mentally ill person? First, mental illness will be passed on to one's own children; second, in the future, if one has three strengths and two weaknesses, the child will not even have anyone to entrust.
7. Originally I was in favor of homosexuality, because everyone has the right to choose their own life. But since I took the Three Treasures class and learned that homosexuality has a much greater chance of transmitting AIDS than ordinary people, this is because the rectal single-layered columnar epithelium is much more fragile than the vaginal stratified squamous epithelium, I began to think that maybe homosexuality is true. It is a contra Dios (going against the sky) behavior. The gay couple is also shown badly in the film, as if their gay behavior aggravates their guilt.
