It's been a while since I read it, and I've been wanting to write something but I can't seem to get it down. There are so many threads but I don't know where to start.

A lot of people say it's the Indian version of Parasite, but instead of Parasite when I watch it, I think of Slumdog Millionaire and What's Home. Although "Parasite" is also about the struggle of the bottom people, but "Parasite" is not as miserable as these three, so I didn't think of it. Every time I watch these movies that nakedly show the miserable side of the world, it makes me feel the injustice of the world and appreciate what I have.

I have heard many legends about India, but the India described in this movie is still refreshing to me. I haven’t heard of the servant class in India before, and I don’t know about the “democracy” in India. What amazed me even more is that the description of China in it seems to be so friendly. There is a sentence in it that is my consistent view on democracy: I don’t eat it. What's the use of drinking democracy. The descriptions of India's elections, corruption and other issues are also ruthless. Democracy is a luxury, the price is huge but the benefits are hard to say.

The world has never been fair, and progress can be made because of injustice. There will always be someone who is a rooster in a cage, and someone who is a white tiger who has escaped from prison. In the face of the injustice of fate, when I was a child, I thought that everyone can change through hard work. When I grew up, I realized that it is really not easy. In the play, the male protagonist came out alone and spread the whole family. In the past, when I comforted frustrated people, I would say that as long as you work hard, you will be able to do it. Later, I would say that hard work may not work, but if you don’t work hard, you will not work. Before, I always thought that anything I achieved was the result of my hard work, and then I realized, yes, I did work hard, but how important luck is. Later, I didn't dare to attribute anything to my own efforts, I was just lucky. Since then, I have been saying thank God for thanking my ancestors every day, and the scientific name is grateful. It's really bullshit to think that learning this kind of stuff successfully is an insult to those who are not so lucky. In the face of this fact that I have seen clearly, I am completely powerless, and no one can do anything. All mankind can only wait patiently for the development of science and technology and social progress.
