How the proletariat spends weekends

55. The evil capitalist society has a problem, and you have to choose one. Either get yourself a bonus of a thousand euros, or avoid the unemployment of an unfamiliar colleague - it doesn't really have to be one or the other, but that's how the title for the proletariat is written. The characters are honest enough to answer my answer: if that colleague is standing in front of me, I'll choose the latter, otherwise I'll choose the former. Contrary to what the Communist Manifesto says, the proletarians of the world cannot unite, but each has its own predicament.

In the absence of a villain, this dilemma particularly attracted me in the first 20 minutes. I was disappointed when I saw the ending, but in fact, I was already disappointed when I saw the middle. The driving force was really monotonous. What kind of special effect does this repeated struggle create. Workers are either at home or not at home; they either listen to their family members or make their own decisions; With the encouragement of her husband, this woman interviewed nearly 16 people in a row, but she did not even improve her lines during the process. She felt hopeful when she received a positive answer, despaired when she received a negative answer, lost her self-esteem and gained comfort. The way the proletariat spends two days and one night is truly pitiful, and I like the format, but I don't agree that rigid plot equals good realism. How did this movie affect you? The girl cried alone for most of the time, or held back her tears.

    I like the Darney Brothers a lot, but all the dilemmas in this film are "made up" and should be convincing before sensationalizing, and this one doesn't. Go and see Desica, it's realism, this kind of hypocrisy is hard work, and the same goes for the black movie "Precious".

    This is life, your country's dumping route got Goddess Cotillard to lose her job, and you say your country is bad. Speaking of acting, I don't think it's an obvious impact, but how many people feel the pressure of this kind of civilian life. I really appreciate the prisoner's dilemma under the game in this story. It reflects the portrayal of European society with a weak free market. The confrontation between selfishness and fraternity is a serious choice for how many people. She's also worried about others losing their jobs, which is really bitter here.

Two Days, One Night quotes

  • Sandra: Everytime I feel like a beggar, a thief coming to take their money. They look at me, ready to hit me. I feel like I'm hitting them too.

  • Timur: Hello.

    Sandra: Hello. Your daughter told me you were here. I was round at your place. I wanted to see you about the vote on the bonus and me being laid off. Juliette and I saw Dumont and he'll let us hold another ballot Monday because Jean-Marc influenced people by telling them that Dumont wanted to lay off staff anyway. So if it wasn't me who was made redundant it would be them... So... I wanted to ask you if... if you'd vote for me to stay on Monday.

    Timur: [in tears] Of course I will. I'm really glad you're here. I'm so mad at myself for voting for my bonus. I'm sorry.

    Sandra: Don't be sorry. I can understand. 1.000 Euros.

    Timur: No. I'm ashamed. I even forgot what you did for me. Remember? When I broke those cells... and you said you did it. You remember.

    Sandra: Yes, and Jean-Marc even said: "Fine example to set the new guy!"

    Timur: I'm really glad you came.
