I started to watch this American TV series a few days ago. After watching it last night, I couldn't cry. Wiping away my tears, I decided to write a review.

From the very beginning, the film pierced the glitz of the United States, just like the city in the northwestern part of our country, the dilapidated streets, the deserted suburbs... It is completely different from the prosperity seen in American movies before, and perhaps this is the real one. America.

Then our protagonist, Teacher Bai, appeared on the stage. He is a people's teacher, but in order to support his family, in his spare time, he actually works in a car wash. This makes me cry. In capitalist countries, the social treatment of people's teachers is so low. , It is really sad.

When the protagonist Mr. Bai fell down and was taken to the hospital by the 120 ambulance, what he said turned out to be "Just find someone to throw me down, because I don't have any insurance." This sentence made me unable to bear it again. Live cried out loud. A glorious people's teacher, without social insurance and medical insurance, can only choose to give up his life in the face of illness. This is incredible for us living in the big socialist family.

The torture of illness and the burden of the family made Teacher Bai go to the road of crime. This is not only Teacher Bai's accusation against fate, but also his silent accusation against the evil capitalist system.

However, the capitalist underworld is also ugly. In this capitalist country where the weak and the strong, Mr. Bai has encountered more hardships, and finally headed for the road of using violence to control violence. It's hard to say whether Mr. Bai is a hero or a wicked criminal. What he did was to survive in this collapsed country.

The film also shows all aspects of American life, exposing capitalist society in all aspects. For example, trampling on human rights, in order to educate their nephew, the drug police randomly called a drug addict on the street to insult their personality; middle-class women went to the store to steal things; the flashy and hypocritical high society...

Although this TV series is only 7 Set, but his strength is strong. Although Teacher Bai is only a drug maker, his accusation against capitalist society is powerful.

After watching this TV series, my mood couldn't be calm for a long time, so I opened the book "Only Socialism Can Save America" ​​at hand, and thought about it for a long, long time.
