"Outsourced" This movie is adapted from this work, but I believe there is a big discrepancy . If you have no time to read the book, you can go to my LINK to listen to the excerpt. This movie is more like an Indian style movie. The content of economics only serves as an interspersed plot, which reminds me of the "Invisible Heart", another economic novel. It is more suitable for making a movie.
Think about India and China. I will compare software outsourcing. There is a very fatal problem: language. English is spoken in the movie as their mother tongue. I don’t think it’s a problem to write software, it’s just a matter of pronunciation. It may sound strange that English is used in the third category of countries outside the United States and the United States. Maybe it sounds more uncomfortable than the pronunciation of suburban London.
Think about the concept of'outsourcing', which is the economic theme of this movie. For individuals, the SOHO family is definitely the best person to do outsourcing. The economic level, cost, and exchange rate make it more reasonable for the world to do "outsourcing". But if you compare the phrase "We are the world's factory" and refer to the movie "Man-made Landscape", you will know the problem. If you listen to some economic lectures, you will know that we have been fooled.
Not much else. This movie is not a textbook, but a very relaxing entertainment movie. Don't think too much about economic issues like I did. If you are going to watch this movie, you don't need it. It's better to treat it as a travel movie.
