The dark side of an international metropolis

A group of illegal immigrants who tried to smuggle from various third world countries to the international metropolis of London are still carrying a tragic fate here (even having to sell their body organs to make a living).
A film shrouded in warm colors, but tells such a rather dark story. (Here, you must raise your thumbs up and praise director Stephen Frears. There are not many "horror" scenes in the film, (except for the bloody toilet not long after the film opens). But it was created a kind of "horror" scenes. , It always makes people feel the atmosphere of wind and wind.
It is particularly noteworthy that in the film, very few local Londoners appear in the film. It seems to imply that the world of immigrants is a closed, negative-energy "underground world". ", the people in it did not get any kind help (locals, including the police) at all, and there was almost no hope at all.
Although the ending of the film cannot be said to be "sorrowful", it can hardly be called "bright and brilliant." (The big bad guy who bought and sold human organs finally took the blame, and his organs were removed.) The protagonist and heroine eventually escaped from the paradise (London) they thought they had originally, but for their own reasons, they went to different things. (It can only be said that they have no part. ).
