It's a twisted story, but it's a bit too monotonous, straightforward, and routine.

The way to describe suffering is to directly express how hard it is, and then keep repeating how hard it is; the cycle of early childbirth, ignorance, prostitution, and poverty is also faintly seen; the cumbersome system, the evil of the system, and the strict implementation of the system by public officials Not willing to raise an inch of the muzzle, but also saw;

But the goodness of the human heart and the evil of the system are too clear-cut and too routine. Every civil servant is doing evil (except the old woman), every passerby has a warm heart, and the wretched security message is really a pimp. I thought that I would die when the little girl was looking for it, but I thought it was not exciting enough, so I saw the hope of appealing, and when I saw that I was going to the toilet, I knew that the time had come—when you are the closest to happiness, it is for the sake of tragedy. The maximization comes to an end.

Emotions have always been restrained, there is no soundtrack, only repeated walking with tight frowns. Perhaps the most dramatic is when Katie is found selling her dignity. A section of spray paint is great, but that's about it. Passers-by are just eating melons, no one sweats and does things for you.

It has triggered another thought. In the future society, or in other words, in the era of artificial intelligence, when the service provider becomes AI, will it truly become an era of institutionalization and dogmatization? Cold data, cold typeface, maybe that's it.

And, of course, digitization is also a good thing. The cumbersome procedures protect the phenomenon of insurance fraud to a certain extent, so that those who really need it will not be left without money. But the emergence of new technologies is indeed extremely unfriendly to the elderly, on both sides.

Stronger than "Capernaum", not as good as "The Thief's Family".

PS In the end it still feels like Katie is going to keep doing that for a living, that's life. Solidified class, solidified destiny.

I, Daniel Blake quotes

  • Daniel: It's a monumental farce, isn't it? You sitting there with your friendly name tag on your chest, Ann, opposite a sick man looking for nonexistent jobs, that I can't take anyway. Wasting my time, employers' time, your time. And all it does is humiliate me, grind me down. Or is that the point, to get my name off those computers? Well, I'm not doing it any more. I've had enough. I want my date for my appointment for my appeal for Employment and Support.

  • Katie: I'm just really hungry.
