More than "poor and lowly couples grieve for everything"

How to say, let's see tears. The male protagonist went to deliver the courier and met a customer who was a Newcastle fan. Although there was a quarrel, it was a grievance between Manchester United and Newcastle fans, not a class conflict. The cruel reality revealed by the film is also happening in our country, and it is impossible to eliminate it in a short time. The worker is introverted, and the male protagonist is more dedicated and grabs another worker's post. However, the slightly higher income brings double the workload, and is exhausted. It is more and more difficult to cope with the harsh machine "getting the magic temperature". This is the dilemma of life, not a dilemma that can be broken through hard work. So you will be wronged, your wife will be wronged, your sons and daughters will be wronged, and all members of the family will be in a dilemma caused by insufficient resources. Why is this so? Class solidification. Adults like the male and female protagonists shoulder heavy responsibilities and try to save the family from collapse by desperately exporting. But young people will feel that this is a social problem, social injustice, there will be rebellious psychology, and there will be an impulse to break the old world. So passively confront the school, the police, parents and even society as a whole. They are not willing to be eternal servants. Capitalism, information technology, and the high development of big data have brought about more powerful control of people by machines, which reminds me of what happened to salespeople at home and abroad. For time and efficiency, every moment is running on the line of life and death. What is touching is that such a family has not deteriorated under heavy pressure, but remains kind and dedicated. Especially the heroine, who loves her clients (all elderly and disabled people who cannot take care of themselves). How can it be. Four people can only keep smiling and dancing in the cramped van. The British elderly people in the film are lucky. They meet a carer like the heroine, and they live with dignity when they are old. When we are old, will we still have such care? Poor and humble couples grieve in everything, what if everything goes wrong? The cage is still there. The whole film makes people cry, the atmosphere is depressing.
