Is Ken Lodge a master of realism? Is this film another classic reality master work? Saying this movie is romantic is because we have clearly seen hope. The male protagonist, who has changed many occupations, finds a job he "seems" likes, and is gearing up for it, as if he is ready to go all out to break through the shackles of class. To say that this film is bleak and tragic, is it because we still have doubts in our hearts, does hope really exist? Is it "work for yourself" or "work for the capitalist", the male protagonist's long-cherished hope, after all, doesn't he want to work for others? Ken Loach is worthy of being a master of realism, turning so-called "romance" into "living" irony. This film is also realistically hopeless. Speaking of which, I was reminded of last year's hit "joker". After all, in terms of conception, both films were designed to reflect the pity of the people at the bottom. I unconsciously compared the two films. What is the difference between "joker" and "sorry, we missed you"? What is the difference between Arthur and Ricky? Should the tragic fate of the two be blamed on Arthur and Ricky themselves, or should they go to the evil capitalism to settle accounts? I'm afraid it's "a slap in the face." The decadence and depravity of human nature, the selfishness and indifference of the external environment, all together, they beat the once smug new young people into greasy, self-pity and self-pity poor people. Some people say that "joker" is a realistic reflection of the degenerate history of the proletariat. Compared with it, "sorry, we missed you" seems to have a hint of romanticism. After all, at the end of the film, Ricky finally chose to continue working. Maybe in six months, the Ricky family will really earn enough money to buy Abby a new car, to support his son to continue his studies, to raise his little daughter to grow up... The face of a capitalist is ugly, but Don't give up hope of a job for fear of being exploited. I hope this is what the ending of the film is meant to convey.
