More than a hundred years have passed, and it has not gotten much better

Black director Ladj Ly's film "Les misérables" won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, adding that the film is his debut and an extension of his own 16-minute short in 2017. I thought this would be an adaptation of Mr. Hugo, at most a shell of the current time and space, but I was wrong. No Fantine, no Jean Valjean, and no "DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SAYING?", just the same helplessness. Yes, only helpless.

The reason why the name of "Les Miserables" can be borrowed is because the external fault of the weak will not be recognized for the internal justice, but the strong can always use the power of the system to escape from negligence. Who are the "outlaws"? Both are.

I listened to the original sound of the 1985 version of "DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SAYING?" on AM, and I accidentally discovered that my friend's country AM didn't have this song. The same is true for QQ Music, NetEase, etc. It doesn't even have an MV, which is a bit exaggerated. Sometimes I wonder, what are you afraid of? Not much to say.

More than a hundred years ago, productivity skyrocketed, and the world was a mess, and it is now. The miserable world is still miserable, and the mistakes of history are still wrong. The productivity singularity has accelerated, as has the rate of repeating errors that are not long-term memory.

"Rick and Morty" S4E8, the words SUMMER said to the husband who became the leader of the barbarians, the words about the disease, it was really sneering and embarrassing after reading it, because she was right , that's right, it's chilling down the spine.

What else can be done? Chatting with a friend on IG, her words are full of helplessness, I can only say "don't lose confidence" and "protect yourself".

"Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will uphold you; he will never shake the righteous."
Psalm 55:22 RCUVSS

    In our cultural and institutional context, it is basically justified that the police shot and wounded children in the chaos of the film. The wildness and uncontrollability of this group of children is unacceptable to our culture and system. The dispute over the rationality of law enforcement and the boundary line in Western law or civic consciousness is usually reduced to the question of "did you cooperate with the law enforcement agency". No, it is your fault. Religious and ethnically opposed immigrant communities in the film stretch humanity freely, maintain basic laws of survival, and maintain peace amidst tensions. This management method is a bit similar to the Western attitude towards the epidemic in the early days-now that it accepts the reality that it cannot be absolutely controlled (in the short term), then measures are taken to prevent its complete collapse. The same is true for human nature. They accept the complex reality of human nature, instead of trying to completely control it, but to prevent it from falling to a level that cannot be tolerated by law. Therefore, the West can allow immigrant communities like those in the film to exist. This cultural difference is one of the reasons why our mainstream society cannot accept the blatant existence of refugees or such immigrant communities. We need everything to be controlled and charged.

    85/100, first drive the chaotic points according to the map, and gradually construct the whole picture of the block. The introduction of the drone's viewpoint will undoubtedly bring a new viewing experience to this not new subject (On this point alone, "Bacrow" goes even further. Far away), the multi-party wrestling built a strong tension, and the last ten minutes were speechless. The shock came from reality and scene scheduling, which established a sense of participation in watching. At the same time, what is even more commendable is that the director did not take a pre-position, but recreated all this with great prudence.
