At a time when global warming, depletion of oil and gas, and new energy cannot withstand the end of the world in the Texas winter, in the distant America, oh wrong, it is Greenland, there is a luxurious underground air defense city that can resist the attack of a comet Earth, tsunamis swept the city, shockwave smashed the large-scale disaster of dead creatures, but it is the beacon civilization of human beings, immortal. At the beginning of the film, the screenwriter Bai Zuo has pushed the distant world to the altar.

However, immigrating to the United States, oh wrong, the legal channel to immigrate to Greenland is very difficult, you either have to be an architect, or a doctor, or you have a lot of money, and you have to be healthy, you can't have diabetes, you can't have mental illness. Since then, the male protagonist with high education and high social status has embarked on the road of immigration with his wife and baby.

At the very beginning of the film, the protagonist was still complacent on his high horse, and saw the neighbor who asked for help leaving relentlessly, but soon he couldn't laugh, because the fleeing military plane excluded the disadvantaged social group with sub-health, And his own son is one of the disadvantaged. In the chaos of checking passports and visas at the border, he and his son and wife were displaced, and had to take the standard caravan of illegal immigrants to travel overnight to Canada, a country that everyone likes to smuggle into in the New World. ) was snatched by illegal immigrants who were equally eager to survive, he accidentally killed a man, and fell from his middle-class altar to become a criminal at the bottom of society.

On the side of the wife and son, another pair of smugglers stole the wife's passport and stole the child's passport to go to the border control. There are still paediatric tents, abundant medical supplies and friendly nurses. After a brief parting, mother and son finally burst into tears in a tent on the Texas border that was 100% identical and purely coincidental.

The children of the disadvantaged and the father who fell from the altar of the elite finally meet at the beautiful farm of the red-neck father-in-law. Since then, the road of self-repentance for Bai Zuo has been opened: thinking that the male protagonist was handsome and muscular, there was another woman after his wife was gone, or the chosen people of God could legally immigrate to Greenland to participate in the construction of the new world, while Bai Zuo cried bitterly. After the runny nose, I found that I was actually a murderer + cheater + big SB. There are no military planes anymore, so let's honestly smuggle with ordinary people.

Screenwriter Bai Zuo deeply discussed the definition of class in today's society and reflected on the living environment of the disadvantaged, but the arrogant structure can still be seen in the narrative: still our lighthouse country is good, your country will be finished, whether it is a murderer , or elite, or come to our beautiful country, and I am your white savior, don't forget to vote for me.

The arrogant white savior interrupted the spine of self reliance, wiped away the personal achievements of construction engineers, and used a crappy family context to build a fantasy of a better life to publicize their great achievements. Thus completely obliterating the immigrant's fantasy of staying in their homeland.

The white saviors also lack any basic remorse for their diplomacy and refuse to re-examine their various crappy energy pacts and war deals for the people who really live in shithole places. The White Redeemers only show off their poor virtue on the Hollywood screen: Behold I'm sorry for the underprivileged. And this virtue is a drop in the bucket (a plane driven by white people), which ruthlessly mocks the hypocrisy of the white saviors.
