some thoughts

"American Factory" was not as beautiful as I expected, but it did give me a lot of inspiration. It made me start to look at the way the world works from the perspective of God, the democracy and freedom of the United States, and the spirit of struggle that the Chinese people have carved into their bones. Which one? That's right, the best answer may be the "medium of the mean" advocated by Confucianism, choose one of them and do it, but what is the specific, and how perfect is the middle degree, but there is no way to know. People from different countries do have different blood. Occasionally I envy the freedom that Americans advocate, but sometimes I despise such a country that has only been established for more than 200 years, and most of the primitive accumulation of capital relies on inhumanity. Countries that invaded and plundered, after all, lacked some profound cultural heritage. And some corporate cultures in China are also incomprehensible to me. Obviously, it is a common interest body that exchanges labor for value. It is not desirable to have to rise to the noble behavior of "dream" and "belief". Perhaps a more realistic point is that the capitalists are just looking for high-sounding reasons for the further oppression of the working class. There are a lot of bells and whistles, but they just wear a more gorgeous coat for this class exploitation.

    Not great as a documentary. It’s ridiculous to see the voices in the comments that repeatedly emphasize that “two cultures are right and wrong”. If you are standing in the perspective of God, you can probably say this, but you are obviously a person who grew up in one of the cultures, even if you If you haven't experienced the hardships of Chinese workers as a human being, you should at least empathize with what you see in the film. People who say that such a dehumanized culture is correct, if they don't have the heart to cover up their own culture, then it is necessary to reflect on whether they are Still a human being.
