People always get old, just like our parents. When they were young they worked hard and raised their children to adulthood; now they are old, they are retired, and they should be taking care of themselves. However, when the old people slowly withdraw from the stage of society and history, one day they suddenly realize that the society is developing too fast, so that they suffer from maladaptive diseases, everything is so at a loss. But they are on the fringes of society, no one cares, no one cares, and some people even die in obscurity, no one knows. Caring for the elderly and providing support for the elderly have become a common topic in developed and civilized countries. However, there are many unsatisfactory things in life, so there is this "Money Robbery Veteran".
Movies have to be a little dramatic, especially commercial movies. Of course, the best combination of the box office and the topic is naturally everyone's joy. "Money Robbery Veteran" still does a good job at this point.
The pensions of the elderly a, b, and c (sorry, I can't remember the names) are lost because of the bankruptcy of the company, and their lives are increasingly embarrassing. a. If the loan is not paid, the house will be repossessed. b. If the kidney is damaged, there is no money for surgery. c. After a series of hilarious processes, they finally grabbed the bank money and lived happily in their old age. This has not been punished by American law and morals. The reason this is allowed to happen is that they are poor old people. Even the cute children shelter them!
However, bank robbery has always been considered as physical work. Although the benefits are high, the risk factor is also high, and not everyone can do it. Young people who are strong and strong are not afraid to do it when they are desperate, but the elderly who are weak and infirm are really asking for their own death. So when you see these three old people going to fight, you must remember that this is a movie, don't imitate it, in case one of them is not careful and has not yet entered the actual combat stage, his heart will beat wildly, his blood pressure will soar, and he will put himself Fuck it!
I've always found two values that are interesting in American culture. One is "the bank robbed everyone's money". It is the fault of big corporations that the poor working class cannot enjoy their old age in the end. Americans have lost their jobs and even their pensions, and the banks are their accomplices. American civilians have been criticizing Wall Street for a hundred years, and they have also shown many expressions in literary works and film and television programs. Another is that the American family values are really heavy. Their family affection is very different from our Chinese, but it is the most sincere emotion in the world. Don't think that only Chinese people care about family.
China is now in an ageing society, and there will be more and more elderly people in the future. In recent years, there have always been negative news reports in the media about the elderly being disrespectful and seizing public resources. However, our society is far from being as mature as American society, and many criticisms are lost on the surface, and there is no voice to look at the problem rationally. How to define the respective rights boundaries of intergenerational groups, how to provide for our elderly, and how to settle their old age is also an important social issue on the road of China's social development!
I hope that our old people will not take the extreme road like the old people in the film, and use violent means to protect the life they should enjoy! Finally, I borrow a line from the movie to end: caring for the elderly should be the responsibility of society!
