The American Dream is easy to dream, but not easy to achieve

The film can be described as a painful struggle on the road to the realization of the American Dream. Mental problems are a serious obstacle for the lower classes of society to overcome, and the psychological journey is often more difficult and dangerous than the economic and financial journey. Drugs have exacerbated the embarrassment of the lower classes, and the family's experience in the film exposed many social problems in the United States. In the United States generally do not fall to the point of starvation and cold, but relative poverty and anxiety can make the situation very bad, and it seems that it is impossible to live even for a moment. This is a true story, based on a 2016 US bestseller. It should be called "Song of the Desperate". How can the movie name be translated so awkwardly? From the story of the movie, we can see that the way out of this predicament is faith, persistence, and unremitting efforts. This story confirms that achieving the American Dream can take generations. If you are still at the bottom of society and you are content with the status quo, and you don’t want to be better, that’s another story. If you always complain about God's injustice and social injustice, it is to give up and stop dreaming of the American dream. People can't choose the family they come from, just like they can't choose their destiny, but they can change their destiny and achieve a higher level of life. I watched the American movie "Assistant" yesterday. It was a child from a wealthy family. In this movie, children from the lower classes of society had to control themselves even more. To change one's own destiny, one must deal with the rich, one must endure their arrogance, and one must not let lofty ideals fail in self-control. There are good strategic thinking, but also good tactical actions to achieve. The story of the film fully demonstrates the difficulties on the road to the realization of the American Dream. Terrible genetics, damn environment, so in a way, it's getting rid of a vicious fate. The male protagonist showed the strength and confidence to break free from the quagmire and get rid of the muddy water completely. The key person in the whole process is the grandmother. In this big family, there must be someone who understands, who can come forward at the crucial moment and help the children and grandchildren. It can also be seen from the movie that the atmosphere of the middle and upper class in the United States is not bad. The history of the United States is not long, and the middle and upper classes have constant feelings of the lower class, because they may have only struggled from there, and they will not be as deep-seated as the European aristocracy and pay so much attention.

    Oh my God, I'm so puzzled, this movie has at least 8 points in my heart. Film critics grew up in Hollywood and didn't understand the sufferings of the world. Is the life of the poor in the small suburban town of Ohio unsightly? Drug addiction, abusive relationship, domestic violence, dare to ask which is not the daily headache and suffering that Americans are experiencing? It resonates too much. This is the story of the neighbor's house, this is the story of your house and my house. Do we need so many movies to talk about class solidification of the social status quo? Can't we tell the story of a boy who grew up in a "family first" culture and was tortured by the family, but got the love and support from the disabled family and then moved on?

    Speed ​​up beating your son, set your husband on fire, begging for surplus food in the pizza box, rushing for a long conversation late at night, no one knows when you die, and no time to speak to your grandmother, try to be a decent terminator; director Ron Howard’s standard homesickness chicken soup , The two generations of female protagonists are watching the drama, the story is a little lacking, but the emotion is still there
