Beautiful dirty stuff

The director used a gloomy and dark tone to pretend to be restrained and calm, but he can expose his emotional irrationality everywhere. He used the Chinese immigrant who worked in the hospital mortuary in the play to curse London as an immigrant hell, blindly revealing the illegality. The inhuman treatment suffered by immigrants accuses the unfairness of British society. The film shows shockingly the unusually difficult lives of several illegal immigrants such as Ao Wei, Shannai, and the prostitute Julia, "You are an illegal immigrant, not only have nothing, but also worthless", and the human tragedy of selling organs for the right of abode is even more serious. It makes people want to cry without tears. But what is disappointing is that the film's rendering of the environment is almost fictitious. It neither highlights the overall view of the society's attitude towards illegal immigration, nor does it consider the multi-layered meaning of the phenomenon of illegal immigration. There are only dreams and blind paranoia in pursuit of beautiful dreams. In fact, the director's attitude towards illegal immigrants is also emotional, and the film shows sympathy in addition to sympathy. The section of the Immigration Investigation Bureau, which represents the official position, that traced Shannai could have been more urgent and cruel, but it ended inexplicably, and the tragic underground transaction hidden in a dirty hotel is not enough to summarize an objectively existing dark world. People feel that the annihilation of human nature is not an unjust society, but just a group of criminals who are only seeking profit. The whole film is a series of bizarre organ trading cases. Ignoring the background of the society makes the film look closer to one. Hollywood-style entertainment film.
