"Poverty limits my imagination", this Internet catchphrase may be a self-deprecation of the poor. Whether a person is poor or not is related to his definition of rich and poor. Even in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, with an annual income of 200,000 yuan, some people feel poor even if they only have a BMW and no yachts, but those who cry poor may not have thought about it: the real poor don’t even have the chance to cry poor. The Ali brothers and sisters in "Little Shoes" are so poor that they can only wear a pair of shoes to school in turn. Ali participated in the running competition, and he was full of hope to win the third place and win a pair of sneakers for his sister. He did not expect that he would win the championship, so when the photographer took pictures of him, he lowered his head and cried and couldn't be happy. "Why Home", which was released this year, is also a story about poverty. Children take their parents to court, because the poorer they are, the poorer they are and the poorer they are, and they cannot provide the children with basic living guarantees. Films and literature that express poverty are all prone to social criticism or human nature criticism—or blame poverty as class oppression, or define poverty as human self-defeating, of course in a modern society that pursues “equal” values, if poverty is laziness Or the product of incompetence, then this is a "political error", a problem with a class position. In the context of not being able to thoroughly and ruthlessly criticize society, force majeure such as poverty due to illness and misunderstandings will appear. As compensation, it is to show the noble character of the poor, which is in stark contrast to the rich and unkindness of the nouveau riche. At the end, everyone may be happy. Just like Dickens' performance in Oliver Twist, the readers can finally let go of their dangling hearts, their sympathy has been paid, and they can drink afternoon tea and chat about romance or salon gossip. The film doesn't deliberately criticize anything or abuse free empathy, it just tells a story calmly. Disappointment and hope always alternate in life. Dad made a fortune as a gardener and imagined a better future, when the bicycle brake suddenly broke, and the father and son fell into a mess. However, whenever the pain is pressing on people's hearts, there will also be a relaxing or gentle scene, such as the soap bubbles blown by the brothers and sisters when washing dirty shoes, such as Ali playing on the swing in the rich man's courtyard, such as Ali finally put the blisters on the With his feet in the pool and goldfish swimming through, his father bought his daughter a new pair of shoes and was heading home. Wealth can also limit people's imagination, and the surprise of "why not eat minced meat" has been heard throughout the ages. In the final analysis, what limits people's imagination has nothing to do with wealth or poverty, but the so-called "ego" and a cold and narrow heart. Material wealth seems to have no end, and spiritual poverty has almost no lower limit. When you don't understand why a person is poor, it's best not to simply sniff or show sympathy. In the same way, for the opulence that I can't empathize with for the time being— Whether material or spiritual, it is best to maintain a peaceful mind. There seems to be no social system that can eradicate poverty. If ordinary people can do some charity within their ability, even if it is to feed the chickens on Alipay, it is already much better than those who just put down their bowls and curse their mothers. On this basis, it is possible to truly understand why Ali cried after winning the championship, and it is considered that he did not watch a movie in vain.
