Watching this film will ask two questions: one is to pay attention to whether the non-stick coating at home is "Teflon"; the other is what this quixotic protagonist has taught us. The first question is very urgent, because most people who watch the film tend to think that the non-stick coating is toxic. From the beginning, the film emphasizes that it is based on real events, and has no scruple to point out that this is a The battle between a man and the world's most powerful chemical company DuPont, this man named Robert. Bilot, a lawyer, is a real story. He has spent most of his life litigating with DuPont, exposing the company's behavior of destroying the environment and harming public health. This is not only the past tense, but also the present tense, and even the future tense. You can think of this as his personal biography, an ongoing biography. There is a section in the movie where he is explaining to his wife that he has done a lot of work to master the fact that non-stick pans are poisonous. I believe most viewers will be led astray and fear non-stick pans, but there must be me. After the audience went astray, they thought that something was wrong, and they did their homework to confirm after the fact. It should be like this: Since DuPont developed the product "Teflon" in the middle of the last century, human beings cannot do without "Teflon". , The coating of non-stick pan is the most common one. Because of its repellency to water and the stability of chemical properties, it can also be used for the coating of various pipe walls and electronic products, and even coating it on bullets. One layer, and ordinary body armor may no longer work. Of course, these are what I have just checked on Baidu, so is it poisonous? Comprehensive research and judgment, it is possible to exceed 260 degrees Celsius, because this temperature is the upper limit of its stability; on the other hand, in the traditional production process of "Teflon", a substance called PFOA (of course, is the abbreviation of chemical substances, Not much to explain) additives or adjuvants, this stuff is toxic, if you watch the movie carefully, it actually says that DuPont cannot control the toxicity of PFOA due to technical or cost reasons in the process of producing "Teflon" , concealing the fact that this substance has serious harm, and irresponsibly discharging and landfilling wastes containing this substance for a long time, polluting water, soil and air, harming the environment and the health of employees and residents It has caused extremely bad effects and property damage. For example, at the beginning of the movie, the farmer's cattle and sheep died in large numbers due to poisoning. At the end of the film, several sets of data are given, of which the most eye-catching may be the sentence "PFOA exists in the blood of all creatures on earth, including 99% of human beings". Do you know now? No matter whether you use a non-stick pan or not, you are one of the 99%. This PFOA is the mark left by the human body using a large amount of chemicals. As for how much impact it can have on the overall health of human beings, this is probably not the case. It is easy to assess, after all, the toxicity is a hooligan, regardless of the dose. Anyway, it was explained in the movie that a large number of people who were exposed to PFOA got cancer, and some gave birth to children born with deformities. The data is estimated not to be fake, but the expression of the film is one There is bound to be a tendency. In order to increase the attention and highlight the seriousness of the matter, the creators intentionally or unintentionally blur the boundary between product safety and corporate behavior, giving people the image of DuPont's monopoly industry, which is lawless and wasteful. These are all facts, but considering that these facts happened over a period of decades, under the premise of weak environmental protection and health awareness and lagging US government supervision, DuPont, as a leading company in the chemical industry, has always If you are at the forefront of technology, you will also be in front of the rules. On the one hand, innovation will bring social progress and improve human well-being, and sometimes it will inevitably make human beings pay the price. As the main body of innovation, the enterprise is necessary to control it in advance, but due to the extreme asymmetry of information, control is often Weakness can sometimes only make up for the poor, which is part of the reason why we have been advocating corporate social responsibility. Of course, I have no intention and dare not to whitewash DuPont. For DuPont's numerous crimes in history, I feel that it is no exaggeration to punish DuPont, but we also need to look at the problem historically. Very representative: In the 1950s, DuPont discovered that PFOA could be toxic, and management added it to cigarettes for free to employees to test its pathogenicity, a move that now seems cruel and difficult It is ridiculous to believe that any company today would not dare to think about it, but it was not exposed or held accountable at that time, which just shows the unconstrained behavior of enterprises and the lack of supervision at that time, and the whole society at large. Extreme disregard for human rights. Businesses are not human beings, and moral standards do not play much role in them. They have to rely on the law. The protagonist, Robert Billot, has a great responsibility for people. After weighing personal interests and social justice, he made a major decision that affected his life and changed the world at the same time. court. The highlight of the film is that when the individual is fighting against the powerful social forces, Don Quixote is fighting against the windmill-like insignificance and difficulty. Witnessing the turn of the year numbers, the protagonist's unconcealed loss and anxiety, the audience will inevitably feel heartbroken. The feeling of sigh and powerlessness, but more of it is the admiration and praise for his constant determination for decades. Standing on the opposite side of the power, piercing the barriers of vested interests, fighting and defeating but getting more and more courageous, the big self defeats the small self, the era is driven and created by these human beings.
