"I Am Blake" is a warm and sad story about an upright, kind-hearted and industrious old man who has been taking care of his mentally ill wife all his life. The carpenter job I liked died of depression in the cumbersome process of applying for benefits. Although he was in trouble, he was still willing to help others, helping single mothers and urging his neighbors. Regarding the system: All systems are not perfect. Under certain historical conditions, it is good to take care of the interests of the majority of people. Of course, the rights and interests of a small number of people also need to be called out. The old man in the film cannot use a computer and cannot complete the online application alone. This is also a social problem around us. The outbreak of the epidemic this year has brought many changes to people's lives. Now all hospital registrations have implemented an online appointment system. Elderly people who can surf the Internet cannot see a doctor alone. Some hospitals can register at the window for the elderly over 60 years old. However, all the appointments are basically completed online, and the elderly still cannot register when they arrive at the scene. About poverty: The heroine was too hungry to take care of her decency when receiving the relief. She ate canned food in public. This scene is too bleak. Poverty makes people lose their dignity, but they do not lose love. The heroine is willing to choose to betray herself He did not want his children to be sent to orphanages. And she was so patient with her children that a single mother who was driven to the brink of collapse by poverty never complained about her children. This ability to love is so contagious. Finally, the neighbor black brother is also one of my favorite characters. He is also dissatisfied with the life at the bottom, but he works hard and changes in a very humorous and optimistic way. Although the stalk of selling Chinese parallel shoes is a bit ironic, he is full of It is also a force for change to take root in the cracks in its own way, and gain the loyalty and vigorous vitality of the rivers and lakes.
