#ELECTRIC Phantom# "I am Blake", a story of dignity, which is produced by the social system and also lost under the social situation.
Loved this video so much.
I love this movie so much that I don't know how to express it, how to comment. Some movies are good-looking, not because they are good-looking, but because they hurt people too much. The hurt is not the pain of a stab, but the torn one after another like an execution. It took too much time to hone and run in, and finally The result is that everything is wiped out. The pain that has been torn for a long time has stretched people's hearts to pieces, like a broken string, which is obviously useless, but the aftermath still exists, and it can be unsheathed at any time to hurt people, and it must be To release the sword with blood is the final result, and that determination definitely makes people palpitate.
In the film, Blake, who is called "Dan" by his friends, works as a carpenter, 59 years old, widowed, childless, from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, referred to as "British", who had to stop working due to heart disease and applied for society Aid allowance. However, in the dark opening of the three-minute dialogue, we have already foreseen the heartache of this film.
I'm probably lucky that I didn't give up on this film in the end, but dragged my tired body to finish watching it. The result was stunning in the movie theater, crying to the point of being speechless.
People who live in the social system have probably become a habit after living up to now. As science and technology become more and more developed, social civilization becomes more advanced, and cultural development becomes more and more colorful, it is foreseeable that the size of society is actually getting smaller and smaller to some extent. We have saved too much effort, but we are limited by a little bit in the space we have saved. Everything we learn is for the purpose of living ourselves as the society requires, not what we want look.
Every social form has its own rules of the game. Once formulated, the rules are often ironclad, and there is no reason for you to break them. In this regard, sometimes we can agree to be cautious, and more often, we should Understand it as a narrow sense of some kind, but it is helpless.
When caught in the realm of dilemma and survival became a problem, Blake, an ordinary decent person who had always lived an honest life and obeyed the rules of society, all normal living conditions were broken. Outdated skills, the needs of the new generation in the way of life in society, and the resistance and rejection of the aging groups, can not give sincere help, at least in terms of methods and methods, with system and business rules, Instead of the warmth and purpose of the need itself, the most indifferent infinite loop ends a person's expectation of seeking help from the social system. That feeling is helplessness, helplessness, confusion, and even more despair.
The lonely old man in the film, and the single mother with her children, are restrained by the system to varying degrees. It’s not that they don’t want to be self-sufficient and practical people. They have worked hard to accomplish this idea time and time again, but the things they can’t do sometimes seem to be right in front of them, but when they reach out, they are as dazed as a mirage. , It is not the pursuit of life that collapses, but the hypocrisy of life smiling and rejecting you. The system that you think you are full of touching is actually the last tool to strangle people. Only death can make everything truly come to an end.
The suffering of a single mother is a trivial matter in life. It is different from the old man Blake's persistent conflict in one thing. She lives a more diverse life and is also a part of the UK everywhere.
When work was still a part of their lives, the difference between good and bad luck was only one, two, three, four to ten, but when work left life, the days when everything no longer existed, there were only zero and bottomless mottled Live in people's hearts, and then take off the layer of dignity that the society has given you, little by little, without leaving any sympathy.
A single mother took her child to the rescue place to get the necessities of life. What a warm thing, but she finally devoured a bottle of canned food and ate it. The hungry needs no longer want to hide the distress when facing it. What is embarrassment? , at that moment, what was more embarrassing than embarrassment was the rhythm of letting myself go hypocritical. Shouldn't we cry, the reality that this society finally left behind is so naked and cruel.
We often think that we have got everything good in the world we build, but we don’t know that the good is reserved for some people, and the various ugly ways that are not good have already spread throughout our lives in various ways. For a moment, society exists but abandons them.
Every point in the 100 minutes of the film's anguish is an evolution. It is difficult to tell all kinds of feelings in one point, but the bitterness that is connected into a line and spreads into a surface, weaving a life of various bitter feelings. The so-called part of the people at the bottom, a path that has nothing to do with dignity at all, is precisely not a way of life. In the end, it should not be a person, but a silhouette of a society, a corner and a pillar that collapsed, but it was irreversible and did not want to be saved at all. That is the expression of reality. There is an elegant life, and there is a humble existence, it is just a different appearance, which is in front of whose eyes.
At Blake's funeral, few were lonely. The care you didn't get when you were alive becomes even more hopeless when you die. The heart has stopped beating forever, but the earth is still spinning, society is still moving forward, and letting go is the last regret.
The statement that Blake did not read during his lifetime is as follows:
"I am not a client, nor a customer, nor an employer.
I am not a lazy person or a liar, nor a beggar or a thief.
I am not the number of the insurance number, nor the point in the picture.
I silently do my responsibilities and live in an upright manner.
I didn't bow down, and I would help my neighbors when they were in trouble.
I'm not begging for charity, or even expecting.
I, Daniel Black, are not a dog, but a person.
So I demand to take back my rights, to respect people.
I, Daniel Black, am a citizen, neither above nor below that. "
Silent tears, in the real dignity story.
