horror movies of the moment

The Oscar-winning film first saw "American Factory," and in this context, it's like a horror movie.

At this time, people who can safely self-isolate at home and watch movies are already very lucky. However, there is not only one kind of fear, and just because you are lucky in some places, you cannot get rid of fear in other places:

When will this disaster end, and what the economic environment will be after the end, no matter what the economic environment is, people may eventually lose their jobs because they are replaced by machines.

More than a month ago, everyone was still boycotting 996. Efficiency and welfare are two things that can be compared on both ends of the scale. After a sudden change, how much meaning does anything that can't create value still have? Why don't you keep your grandfather here? The whole environment is not good. No matter how good you are, there is no place to keep your grandfather. I pray to the boss to pray for the whole The industry can weather the storm and continue to exploit us. Just as the union vote of Fuyao’s US factory failed in the end, those who used to enjoy working at GM, after a long period of unemployment through the financial crisis, still compromised with their bosses from China, no matter how unsuitable they were. The value system, even though the income is only half as strong, is much stronger.

The end of the film tells us that whether it is the Yankees who are forced to compromise, or the Chinese workers who inherit the Chinese virtue of hard work and work hard like a blindfolded donkey, there is only one outcome in the end, and they are replaced by machines.

Regarding the question of being replaced by machines, the first person who made me accept this anxiety was a college teacher, a college teacher! A profession with an iron job in the eyes of most people, but she told me why there are so many teachers in the current online courses and future technological development, countless people can have high-quality educational resources at the same time, and in the end only need the best It's fine if you are a teacher, not to mention the plots of sci-fi movies where you can be omniscient and omnipotent by taking a pill. Before that, I happened to read a story about more than 200 middle schools in poverty-stricken areas changing their destiny by watching the live class of Chengdu No. 7 Middle School. This story touched me a lot, but I never thought about this touching and fulfilling story right now. There is a less visible figure in the inspiring and inspiring story - teachers in poor areas who are incapable of being due to their circumstances, and they are eliminated. They are a microcosm. Even though the resources of teachers in poverty-stricken areas are so scarce today, maybe at some point, this matter will be completely resolved in a way of reducing dimensionality.

Finally, Cao Dewang in the documentary is a very charismatic person. His charm is different from the entrepreneurs like Ma Yun that we are looking for now. He is a traditional Chinese-style entrepreneur in business. He is not interesting, Fuyao's model of managing workers, young people sitting in office buildings in first-tier cities can't stand it, and the company hangs his portrait sculptures everywhere to engage in a weird personality cult. But this old man with his back hooked, his appearance is very bad, and his speech is difficult to hear. He is still charming, determined and confident. If he does not accept the union, he will not accept it. No matter what the national conditions of the United States are, the management of the United States will directly fire it, and how much time should it take? Profit is the profit, and even the weather feels like he has the final say-the overbearing president in the hearts of the girls actually has such a face.

He was even confident enough to let people follow him to make such a documentary.

    At first, Chairman Cao thought that an American filmmaker could make a large-scale corporate announcement film for him. The infinite profit-seeking brought him swelling, guilt, and a huge sense of nothingness. For those lonely smoking scenes, I think this capitalist who believes in love and hard work can win is likely to live with a wounded person in his heart. The consequences of forming a guild are "political." He is very clear. Past historical experience has taught him countless times the power of disintegration brought about by the labor movement. Therefore, this is not a reality show exported from Chinese culture, but the two major human survival prerequisites under specific circumstances. The game: live with dignity. So, which premise comes first? What's interesting is that after watching a gorgeous party in a Chinese factory, American managers suddenly felt that this frustrated world was actually "a unity of opposites". In the end, We are one, and we are one. The ideological camp has always been responsible for the consequences of their choices. But today, the specter of communism in Marx's works has long since disappeared. Who will bless the working class in the world to have the old, the young have their strengths, and the widows, widows, and loneliness to support them?

    At the end, the slogan echoed in my ears: "Proletarians of the world, unite!" Proletarians in a single country and a factory can't do anything (especially in today's globalized world). Of course, "union" has become increasingly unlikely. From this film alone, it can be seen that Chinese workers with the virtue of patience have become enemies of the "working class" from a certain point of view, and American workers have probably never thought of helping to improve the treatment of Chinese workers. The concepts of "worker", "class", "revolution" have been dissolved in the world process of containing democracy. The individual at the bottom has decisively lost the power of resistance in atomized isolation. "Let the proletarians continue to tremble in front of the capitalists! They even know how to repent. The proletarians have lost the whole world." (Of course, as a documentary "film", it is still a bit loose and has no sense of work.)
