The first half of the movie is quite realistic, and maybe because I watched the original version without subtitles, and the characters' strong accents made me not know much about the lines, I didn't feel a lot of emotional involvement at first.
The first time I got emotional was in the conflict where Katy appeared. The plot that had been flat and watery finally had its first ups and downs, but the emotion at that time was just that I had encountered such an inefficient salesman. Katy and Daniel fight each other.
The first time I couldn't hold back my tears was when Katy was at the rescue station. Katy's actions caught me off guard. I was surprised that the plot didn't seem very reasonable one second. How could a normal and dignified person be unable to bear it for a while, and the next second, I saw Daniel rush forward without asking any questions. Repeated "It's OK" and handed over his handkerchief, tears could not stop flowing down. Daniel could understand Katy's behavior, the first thing he did was to let Katy know that she didn't need to be ashamed of what she did, because she lacked everything but her dignity. This sentence sounds like a bit of middle school. What do you do with dignity when you have nothing? I can even think of the saying "to face the crime", which is specially used to satirize this situation. But now, I feel that I am slowly starting to understand why some people value dignity so much. Because when you really have nothing, dignity may be the only thing you have to prove your existence.
From this teardown, the back tears flooded. When Daniel was selling furniture, his neighbor China asked him if he was in any trouble, and he kept smiling and saying that it was fine; Daniel found Katy who sold his body, and his face showed no pity, only heartache; Daniel was painting on the wall, and he was an honest man once and now The tension between the image and the fearless image spray-painted on the street shows the deep but peaceful despair vividly.
In fact, the plot of this movie can be guessed from the front. When you see the security guard helping Katy, you can guess that he is letting Katy become a prostitute. When you see Daniel's final nervousness, you can guess that he will have a heart attack. attack. However, when the plot really developed to the guessed content, it became even more unprepared and sad.
Someone once told me that if you see homeless people abroad, don’t give money, because it’s their own choice, foreign welfare is very good, they don’t accept government subsidies, you don’t need to pity them. But since I really saw the situation of homeless people abroad, I began to doubt this sentence. Some homeless people on the street really look helpless. If the welfare conditions are so good, why do they still beg for a piece of food ? After watching this movie, I began to understand that this sentence is actually not wrong. It is their own choice to wander on the street, but this choice is often forced. By the red tape of the government, by the economic stagnation of the society, by the dignity of oneself as a person.
I demand you treat me with respect. I, Daniel Blake, I am a citizen, nothing more, nothing less.
