Our director did miss you

The hourly aunties and couriers who hurriedly pass by have basically become the fixed background of today's streets in China. We enjoy cheap and fast services, we look up or gossip about those e-commerce giants, and we sing this prosperous era. , however, our director did miss you.

It's a very warm and simple movie that focuses on the bottom family. I haven't seen such a movie for a long time. In comparison, "Parasite" is more like a commercial movie with a pseudo-reality theme.

The difficult life, the simple happiness, and the beauty of human nature are indeed touching. We are all numb to work and life, and we have not been touched like this for a long time.

Looking at domestic film and television again, there are still domineering presidents, white-collar elites, second-generation moaning, and palace fighting fantasy, all of which fill the screen. In fact, we have the most conditions and the most abundant materials to pay attention to the living conditions of the part-time aunties and courier brothers around us. Unfortunately, our director missed you.

Sorry We Missed You quotes

  • Abbie Turner: This is my family, and I'm telling you now, nobody messes with my family.

  • Ricky: I don't know what's got into you, I really don't. You're a smart kid just like Liza. You used to be in all the top sets. What is going on? Just give yourself some choices mate.

    Abbie Turner: Seb?

    Seb: Hmm-mm?

    Abbie Turner: We've talked about this. You could go to uni.

    Seb: Go to uni? What, and be like Harpoon's brother? £57 grand in debt and what? Working in a call centre now, getting smashed every weekend just to forget his problems. Of course.

    Ricky: Yeah, but it doesn't have to be like that does it? There's some good jobs out there.

    Seb: Good jobs? What good jobs?

    Ricky: Well there is if you just knuckle down. Give yourself some options. Otherwise you're just going to end up like...

    Seb: What, like you?

    Ricky: Oh fucking nice!

    Abbie Turner: Seb...

    Seb: Do you really think I want that? Really?

    Ricky: Yeah...

    Seb: Well yeah of course I do don't I? I want to be like you.

    Ricky: Yeah, going from shit job to shit job, working 14 hours a day, having to put up with everyone else's shit. Going from one shit job to another shit job. You're just going to end up a skivvy.

    Seb: A skivvy? It's your choice to be a skivvy isn't it? A skivvy doesn't come to, you, you go to it - right?

    Ricky: I'm doing my best Seb.

    Seb: Maybe your best isn't good enough, is it?
