Rap is sung by the old lady herself, which is really interesting. I happened to be reading Marx in the social science class. Watching this film can see obvious traces of Marx’s thought: the very action of gleaning is illegimized by the notion of private property. The potatoes are dumped for their low exchange value, whereas their use value is not even taken into consideration Bc whoever need them does not have the purchasing power to voice their will. The structure of this movie is also very interesting, the ultimate problem is what's the point of collecting? what does the action of collecting do to the original works ?
