The emotions between the men depicted in "#Going Through Fire#" are especially subtle, partners, brothers...all, they seem especially sincere and enviable, so much that they start to sympathize with the pair of brothers when they look at them. Playing with each other especially moved me.
The story is not just about robbing a bank, because just like the old police said, "I understand your brother robbing a bank, but I don't understand you. You didn't spend the money you robbed, and you don't lack any money. At this time, the male protagonist said a sentence, "Poverty is like a disease, which is transmitted from generation to generation, to everyone you know. But my son will not be like this." Behind your lines, the two protagonists The gesture is very moving and expresses the inner theme. Before that, the creators have used a lot of understated details to pave the way. In the end, the story reflects social problems such as the solidification of American classes and the status quo of life at the bottom in the strong Texas style.
According to the information, the United States is one of the countries with the most serious class solidification in the developed countries. The index of class solidification basically represents the desperation index of the life of the people at the bottom. They have no chance to turn over, cannot receive expensive higher education, and thus cannot have excellent job opportunities, and many families "poor for three generations" are on the verge of despair. Maybe only like the male protagonist, who hopes that "oil" will suddenly drop from the farm at home or win a lottery, but how many people are so lucky to taste it? What's more, even if the oil is discovered in the family, but the debt is high and the family is separated, the male protagonist still faces the crisis of continuing to live in extreme poverty.
Yes, no wonder people choose Trump. Class solidification will inevitably lead to increasingly sharp contradictions between classes, and it is reasonable to rob banks to go to extremes and commit crimes. If the life of the people at the bottom of a large scale collapses, then this group of people will rise up to resist, and the society will become turbulent.
The so-called art history is the history of artists, and artists are such a group of people who sympathize with the suffering of the times. This is not political correctness, it is the attitude of art. Reality sucks, but it is reality after all. We cannot restore reality to the screen and call it art in a grand manner. Classics must be higher and more abstract creations.
What is rare is that the creators of this film are using such a highly artistic creation to tell the above heavy theme. The story is slow and attractive, and the country music fluttering in the vast land of Texas are all its rare advantages.
This kind of artistic creation and sense of social responsibility is not available in "La La Land", "Manchester by the Sea", "Moonlight" and other small patterns that pay too much attention to "someone", although in the current era of liberalism, individuality and Personal encounters are more likely to please us and applaud us.
China's class solidification is more serious than that in the United States, and the social mobility of wealth can be described as extremely poor. The only chance for some families to change their fate seems to be the college entrance examination for their offspring. However, the directors of our country have not yet had one, even one that has paid attention to this matter. Maybe I didn't see it.
