This is a pseudo-proposition movie

The movie describes the story of Julia abducting and selling the children out of the poverty and quiet environment of the original family for the future of the children, which leads to contradictions for everyone to discuss.
But I think this kind of discussion is simply untenable.
Why does the movie portray Julia as a kind and sympathetic image? : She is a woman who lost her husband at a young age. She loves children, is selfless, persistent, and does not care even if she is right with people all over the world. She does not do such things for money or reputation.
In fact, this is basically a trap of movie design, in order to make the audience sympathize with the heroine's behavior, so that the contradictions presented by the movie can be balanced by both sides. It can be used to make the audience think. Imagine sending children from poor families to rich families as well. What if Julia is for money? What if she treats children badly? She just abducted the child to the rich man's house?
You will discuss whether she is great or not? Or is her behavior correct? I even dare to say that if the director picks an ugly older woman, or finds a man to play the leading role. There will not be so many discussions in this film, and the contradictions described in this film simply do not exist.
Whether a person has the right to raise a child is not determined by the person's financial conditions. It is determined by the person's attitude and behavior towards his own children. Before confirming the parents’ treatment of their children, it is certainly wrong to deprive them of the right to raise their children in advance just because of personal financial or family problems. In the United States, there is a special agency to judge whether a family or a person is capable of raising a child, so as to decide whether to deprive a family or individual of the right to raise a child. This kind of discussion is unnecessary, at least in the United States.
The film uses human sympathy and some people's mentality to try to create a topic that is simply untenable. So I think this movie is relatively poor.
By the way, let’s make a comment:
1. If everyone is going to be the child of the rich, who will be the worker and peasant? Who will oppress the capitalists? Who will serve the leadership?
2. I think Jenny's family has a good time. Jenny is a different kind of their family. I think her mother and sister He enjoys this kind of relationship.
3. Who says that rich people are happy? Don’t you know that the happiness index of ordinary residents in central China is higher than that of developed areas?

The Tall Man quotes

  • Julia Denning: The system is broken, it doesn't work. There's no where to turn, no support. I've seen it all over the world, it's just easier to give up. I'm not any better than you, Mrs. Johnson, I've just seen more. It's not a matter of being a good person or being a bad person, it's about how you cope. We're so limited. But the eyes of every child are filled with potential and hope, and we need to embrace and nourish that potential. But we don't, and we continue to make the same mistakes, and we continue to let the children grow up broken and lost, just like their parents.

  • Lieutenant Dodd: Hang in there, Tracy.

    Tracy: Yeah, I've been doing that for 35 years.
