Oppression and resistance

It is rare to see such films about the lives of the people at the bottom of society in the United States. I remember that I encountered this film just after I had memorized Marxist philosophy. The exploitation of the working people by capitalism mentioned in the book is vividly reflected in the film. The greedy faces of the capitalists are disgusting. I felt the male protagonist’s hopelessness when one after another was shattered and the despair when the social system blocked his way out one by one. No one cares about the resistance of the people at the bottom of the society, so it is not surprising that he directly resorted to violent methods in the end. I think it's a very good film, let us see the other side of the United States, give it five stars!
