post-view analysis
The film "Two Days and One Night" is a successful low-budget feature film with a simple story and uncomplicated plot. But from the beginning I was expecting the ending, or speculating about the ending. The creators also won't let Sandra not be fired by a vote, and ultimately it's down to human nature and human emotion. This is also an unexpected ending.
The film has been nominated or won in many international first-class film festivals, and it is not dominant in terms of production and actors. But I think the creator's "candor" is the best advantage. At the beginning of the film, the heroine Sandra lay on the bed, received a call, and took out the scones made for the child from the stove. With these few actions, we can't understand what will happen next. We can only judge that this is a mother, a mother who is tired and anxious. What follows is the start of the creator's "candid", we know Sandra is under pressure to lose her job and convince her colleagues to agree to vote for her to stay. The next large part is about how Sandra went to tell everyone, and everyone's attitude towards her. The creator directly told the audience what the protagonist is going to do next, and the audience expects only one ending.
The confrontation between self-interest and the interests of others and how to balance this confrontation is the focus of this film. Sandra wants to keep her job, one is from personal dignity; the other is forced by life. Obviously, the setting of the story should deal with a recession, otherwise a job wouldn't be so precious, which is Sandra's personal interest. If her colleagues voted to keep her, they would lose the €1,000 bonus and offend the company's managers. This is a confrontation between two conflicting interests, and this confrontation rises to the concept of human nature, and the story is interesting and has depth.
With no more than 9 votes in the end, Sandra lost her job, and it doesn't matter who voted against. At this point, the manager told Sandra that she could stay and work, but after a while, he "fired" another person, and Sandra refused to get a job in this way. This is also a reflection of the brilliance of human nature, as well as Sandra's kindness and the precious quality of being able to understand the hardships of others.
