Personality has nothing to do with rich or poor

This is a touching movie. It's hard to think of a man so poor that he scavenges food for his son from a train sack to have a lofty personality. Maybe it shouldn't be on the line to talk about lofty personality, but if you really face such a man, who wouldn't be in awe? It is such a person, poor and down-to-earth, but never loses hope in life, and no matter what kind of environment he is in, he always lives as a "person". He naturally helps the disabled girl, but uses sex to make the girl stand up completely again. He can't say that he participated in underground fighting because of his livelihood, because he really likes fighting very much. He is a good father, but he also occasionally treats his son violently. When he learns that his work hurts his relatives, he goes far away alone. Go abroad, determined to achieve career. When his son fell into a coma, he received a call from the girl and found that he had fallen deeply in love with the girl.
In this film, the process of a person being a "human" is so plainly displayed in front of the audience's eyes, but it makes the audience feel ashamed and deeply moved. The film depicts this man meticulously, but meticulously, without praise, without sublimation, as if people like the whole France and the world are pitching. But we know that this is not the case. The director deliberately let such a noble person live in such an ordinary life is an expectation for a better world. When we are surrounded by such ordinary and noble people, then our world will really be very beautiful.
