After watching the Turkish movie "Hibernation"

The overall tone of the whole film gives people a sense of sadness and sadness. The poor live in dire straits. The hatred of the landlord, the anger at the unfairness of life, and the disgust and superiority of the rich towards the poor are like day and night, incompatible with each other.

The kind-hearted heroine tries to help the poor, and often organizes charitable activities, trying to give money to the poor to relieve their distress, but the poor throw the money directly into the stove. The despair of the heroine, the cruelty, pride and hypocrisy of the rich hero, completely lost her original love for the hero.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. When the heroine gives money to the poor, where does he put the poor's self-esteem? This movie reminds me of the Korean movie Parasite, which also talks about social class and social injustice.

The key to thinking and deliberation lies in the system. With a good and perfect system, the society can develop healthily. If every child can get a fair education, they can compete fairly for jobs after graduation, and use their own efforts to gain wealth. This is the virtuous circle that should exist. Instead of the exploitation and oppression of the poor by the landlords from generation to generation, the poor will never turn around. There will never be relative fairness, and the rich and the poor will never be at odds. A society with such a vicious circle has no vitality and progress.
