"I Am Blake" director Ken Loach once said, I don't make movies that people want to see, I want to make movies that people need to see. "I Am Blake" is such a movie, life is with us, everyone's experience is similar, life is never easy, in this country and system, you can never do what you want, and have experienced all difficulties and hardships, The lowest security in life is sometimes an extravagant hope. Ken Lodge slapped all British citizens with a resounding slap, a highly developed capitalist country that seems to be wealthy and worry-free, and nakedly shows the injustice and cruelty of the social system. I remember watching a program by the economist Lang Xianping, saying that China's social security system relies on the primitive maintenance of kinship, while the western security system is too complete, but everyone is a lonely individual. The owner of the film announced that Lake was fully exposed, his partner had passed away, he had no children, he was alone, he was 59 years old, and was ordered to stop working by a doctor due to a heart attack. Therefore, he could only apply for employment assistance from social assistance, but the test of employment assistance proved that If he is flexible and can work, but is rejected, he can only apply for unemployment benefits. To apply for unemployment benefits, he needs to keep looking for a job to prove that he is looking for a job but can’t find it. So he became an endless cycle of his system. He couldn't work due to physical reasons, but he could only find a job to prove that he couldn't find a job. Another clue in this film is that Rachel, a girl who moved from London, with her two children, was rejected because of her late application. She intersected with Blake, and she was a fallen person from the end of the world, which made the audience feel the same. The two encouraged and helped each other, but they were both in poverty. Rachel became a prostitute and supported two children. In the end, it seemed that Blair was going to apply for relief and would not end up on the street, but died suddenly in the bathroom. In the coldest and cruelest movie, the director pushes the story to the extreme, which is too much. There is bright hope, and there are good people, but the system pushes the poor to death. This is a face-to-face film that challenges public power, communicates with the system, and rages against the cumbersome system. The film won the Cannes Film Festival's biggest award, the Palme d'Or. Director Rocky is a frequent visitor to the Cannes Awards. I have seen his "Break in the Wind" and "An Angel's Share" both won the Cannes Award. At the age of 80, the director uses calmness and realism to make the criticism appear powerful. A good movie is not how much money is invested, but how much the audience feels in the heart. This is a movie that needs to be seen.
