I still remember some classic lines from movies of this kind, just like
"Human life is cheap, here."
"You are even not niggers, you are Africans."
Someone always tries to control their weights, they dare not drink too much coke or eat corresponding meat. After a big supper, they have to swim for a while and pretend to be familiar with body building. Yep, just like me . While others, also humanbeing, sharing the same earth with, are just dying.
So I don't like that kind of movie. Africa, Cambodia, whatever. Like lyric in 8 MILE, "I won't give you shit any more." Because in those movies, people are dying, everything sucks. But that's too far away from us. Have you ever been in Africa before, or this just another kind of Henan People's trick? Okay, to be seriously, that's more or less true there. But what should we do? Kind girls find tears on their faces when watching and boys sign. Parents say "treasure today" and "see so many people living such horrible lives" and "sweet you are so lucky"...
So let's take it seriously, why in some place people are dying because too much foods and other people are dying just because they have no food? One word, Humanbeing.
Yes, indeed, absolutely. You try you best, you study hard, you learn as much as you can and you work as hard as you can. You win the game, you pass the exams, you are the best in competitions. Anyway, you do these because you want to live a better life than anyone else.
When you are success yourself, you find a new name called sympathize, or you call it charity. Another way to show your success indeed.
Sara saved one little baby in this movie. She did not realize that she should help poeple who were more likely to survive. That's called efficiency. But when human life is calculated but not respected, it's tragedy.
Then you must want to know, why people kill other people? Why parents take so many infants to this world even they don't know they have the abilities to hold their own children? Why there are always famines and civil wars?
"Less people died this week", but to someone, that's all, that's the end.
