Ken Lodge is a British "movie sociologist". His series of realist works are mirrors of insight into social problems, reflecting the suffering and embarrassing survival predicament, thus reflecting on the evil of the modern capitalist system. and the shared experience of living beings linked to the universal experience.
The lens of "Sorry, We Missed You" is also aimed at the lower class and the lower class. Through the life group portrait and work record of a family unit, it shows the crumbling family life and family crisis. The film is calm and restrained, subtle and restrained, focusing on the emotions and situations of ordinary people, and magnifying those humble and insignificant individuals. It's just that behind the capitalized life, there are unbearable survival pressure and emotional crisis.
From Jack Ma's "996 Fortune-telling Theory" to Pinduoduo's "exchange life for money theory"; from the society's fall into low desire and Buddhist outlook on life, to the anxiety of social animals and migrant workers, the negative emotions in Chinese society seem to be increasing. Accumulation can only release the pressure that has accumulated for a long time through jokes and ridicule. The social environment at the macro level and the corporate system at the micro level are squeezing the living space of contemporary people, thus causing conflicts with life. This undesired consequence and unsustainable situation is what Marx called "alienation" and Freud called "repression".
"Sorry We Missed You" is a very depressing film. I knew that this was just a movie, but I didn't feel any relief or relief, because I understood that life is certainly not a movie, and life is much harder than a movie.
The joys and sorrows of human beings can be opened up under certain circumstances. In the face of unavoidable difficult times, I hope that we should maintain this attitude: what we shed is not cheap tears, what we touch is not forgetful touch, but With a healthy attitude and spirit of equality, we deeply understand the survival plight of the bottom groups, and feel their emotional crisis from the bottom of our hearts.
