Faced with seemingly rambling questions from the health consultant, Daniel answered all questions honestly with doubts, and his condition was mechanically ignored. The shady scene at the beginning of the film omits all the pictures of the consultant but stares at Daniel, which is the director's attitude throughout.
Daniel, who suffers from heart disease, was defined as suitable for work by the government outsourcing company. He lost his eligibility to apply for welfare allowances and was forced to enter the government's employment guidance process. In his several contacts with government agencies, he was full of contradictions and discomfort. When he was assessed by a health consultant, his answers appeared healthy, and when he was confronted with career guidance, he complained about his own health. He wrote A very "competitive" resume, and when he got a job offer from an employer, he told the truth out of place. He doesn't know how to use computers and the Internet, he doesn't even know how to hire a lawyer, he doesn't understand the rules of the welfare system, he's honest and kind, and he's not smart, but all this is not within the government's vision.
Daniel saw Katie being turned away because she was late at the government office. Katie is a single mother who was assigned a welfare room in Newcastle, 400km away. Her youngest son is withdrawn because "no one wants to listen to him," and her daughter hugs her mother and says she's been laughed at at school for cracking shoes and food aid. The embarrassment of life has made her emaciated, but she still retains her love for her children, her enthusiasm for her friends and her sense of shame. Her difficulties are understood by Daniel, by the supermarket owner, by the volunteers at the rescue station, but not by the government.
In stark contrast to the humane society is the indifference of the government machine. This is the personal experience of an old man who has not kept up with the times, and it will also be the experience of each of us. Confused by the rules and regulations, the indifference Civil servants are kicking balls with each other, the brand-new network system is full of inexplicable errors, and the qualifications are reviewed and graded. In the Internet era, efficient network office, what? You don't know how to use a computer? A generation has been marginalized like this, sitting on the street in ragged clothes, guarding their aging furniture and houses, suffering from illness, forced to live on the underground trade, and they occasionally appear in the social news. In a certain section, their funeral was held at nine o'clock in the morning. The reason why classes exist is because of the high walls between people. You care about your children's foreign language grades, stock trends, and concerns, while people on the other side of the wall care about whether your children can go to school, how to pay utility bills, and no money. How to heal. The government ironically became the defender of social class with a seemingly fair approach.
So Daniel took to the street and down the walls of the government with the words "I Daniel Black demand my appeol(appeal) date before I starve and change the shitie music on the phone", his frustration, his anger, his legitimate demands, he He was finally seen by the society, the bunny girls on the street cheered him, the homeless put on his coat, like a victory parade. The motivating words of the experts at the Job Search Center have been put into practice, "You must stand out from the ground." (you have to stand out from the crowd)
The director tells a story full of warmth from a calm perspective, and Daniel composes a sad song with his life.
