Seriously forget it's a movie

The subject matter is very heavy, and it can be seen that the creators of the film are going to put a big problem and problem plaguing American society in front of the audience. But the main creator probably forgot that this is just a movie. If you want to say too much, it may lead to nothing being explained; this should be a movie, and it should not lose its viewing value. If it makes people feel bored, it will be nothing Can't speak.
It's a pity that this is a movie that is too serious and wants to talk so much that it makes people feel bored. In fact, I have always been full of respect for literary and artistic workers who present social issues, so much so that I am somewhat envious of the countries that allow such literary and artistic works to be produced. After all, it is impossible for us to see social problems of a similar nature and degree, even smaller ones, in the movies and TV dramas we have here.
But what if it could be done better? It is also a multi-line narrative. "Drug Network" tells the story calmly and deeply when it presents the drug problem. At the end of the film, when I see the policeman played by Don Cheadle install a bug, he turns into a laugh. I'm going to cry. Also talking about immigration issues, "The Uninvited Guest" uses an almost impossible story to make viewers feel sorry for the person in the play and reluctant to give up for his departure.
Haber's participation really added a lot of popularity to this drama, and I watched it because of him. The old man entertained the public for half his life, but suddenly he became serious, and I really didn't get used to it. In the film, his foreign language (Mexican?) speaks really neatly. It is estimated that he has been practicing for a while.
The United States is a good place, so so many people want to go in, but because so many people want to go, there are so many problems. A country that can face up to but not hide the problems faced by society is the beginning of solving problems.

    A rare good movie. Everyone is working hard for that green card, which is within reach but out of reach. No mistakes, no freedom of speech.

    A very good drama~ This kind of film is probably only made in the United States to be so outspoken~ In China, it has been banned for eight lifetimes

Crossing Over quotes

  • [in order to convince the immigration adjudicator that he is entitled to receive Green Card, Gavin is requested to demonstrate his familiarity with the Jewish religion by reciting "Kaddish" prayer - a Jewish prayer, most of it Aramic. Since the atheist Gavin has little knowledge of Jewish religion, he recites instead a mishmash of prayers, blessings, hymns and non-religious songs in Hebrew]

    Max Brogan: What do you want me to do?

    San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Look, it's not my problem.

    Max Brogan: All I'm asking, Stevens, is did the old man get seen to? He was sweating and shaking when I put him on the bus. He said his arm felt numb.

    San Pedro ICE Processing Agent: Jesus Christ, Brogan, everything is a humanitarian crisis with you. You've signed off on more orders of recognizance than the rest of your unit combined.

    Max Brogan: Don't give me that shit. The man's about to have a goddamn heart attack. I want him seen to.
