Do not do for the next generation

What moved me the most in the film was the phrase "My child will have more opportunities than me"-saying that this sentence makes me painful, but it is a fact. "

The people of any country do not have the pride of their own nationality ." Feeling, willing to admit that your society is inferior to others? And why group after group are willing to endure the cumbersome immigration procedures, inter-racial discrimination, and the hardships of rebuilding their lives? ——For the next generation, there are more choices. I think this may be the definition of Full of Grace, to make sacrifices for another person.

Those compatriots who carry their luggage and settle down in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and endure the calls from the uncles of urban management to engage in the dirtiest, tiring and most despised professions, why not this? For my children to have the same opportunities as the people in the city!

The director grew up in Los Angeles and saw a wave of immigration from Latin America since he was a child. These people cannot represent their own people in American politics and media, but occupy one-third of the four provinces of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. s population. Then only the Americans can speak for them.

The protagonist’s youthful beauty and brave and stubborn character are just the basis for attracting the audience. The real story is about a catastrophe full of risks in her experience. People are always sweating for Maria's future, and breathing for her fate.

Who caused these disasters? Is it an evil criminal? Hegemonic government? Is it still a corrupt policeman?

I like this kind of story where there are no evil people, only bad luck. This is a higher-level view of the world.

There are no bad guys in the story, and even drug dealers are basically stealing. Maria and these miserable female compatriots have become poor people struggling in their destiny because of poverty, social problems, and political reasons. This is not the same as the people in Les Misérables.

This story was broadcast on the HBO television network in the United States. I hope to remind Americans who have grown up here, what kind of hardships these "outsiders" around them have experienced-perhaps it is also reminding them that their parents or grandparents have "more opportunities" and give for this generation. What a price.
