This is a suffocatingly real film, and it may also be suitable for breaking the stereotype of "foreign moons are rounder", or it can evoke "the original situation of low-income families in countries with large wealth gaps." Similar.” resonance.
What haunts my mind is a deep sense of powerlessness, struggling with all my strength to climb out of the quagmire, but I still can't get rid of it.
The male protagonist who lost his job at the construction site was forced to make a living and started to run the express delivery business in the form of "joining/self-employment". He worked 14 hours a day, and he was fined 100 pounds for missing a day of work. My wife's scooter to work. The wife takes care of the elderly and the disabled as a carer, working from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm. The eldest son was in constant trouble during his school days. He loved graffiti. He was suspended for fighting, and then sent to the bureau for theft. The younger daughter is well-behaved and sensible, but she also suffers from mental stress due to the increasingly tense atmosphere at home, which leads to bedwetting.
The family of four all expressed in unison: We just want life to go back to the way it was before. What kind of life is that? Husbands and wives can see each other frequently, parents can accompany their children, and families can live in their own houses and share dinners.
However, life did not give them a chance to achieve, but instead dragged the family into a vicious circle: the husband had to work 14 hours a day, and any mistakes would be deducted; the wife was running around in various families to be taken care of, and was exhausted. When the couple returned home, they were exhausted, and their conversations in the past were an extravagant hope, which exacerbated the tension in the relationship. This also allows them to "handle" the eldest son who is in trouble everywhere, and neglect to take care of the daughter who is sensible in their eyes from time to time. The family is falling apart at any time, but the husband is facing the basic expenses of the family. Even if he wants to ask for leave, he can only insist on it. Even if he was beaten by a street hooligan and fractured, he would not dare to rest at all, because his hands stopped and his mouth stopped. And all these pressures are hitting the family, creating conflict between each member and making family relationships fragile.
The laughter throughout the film comes from one of the few scenes: the family eats takeout together; the family drives the mother to work together; the father and daughter deliver the courier together. It is not difficult to find that their happiness is built on the close interaction with each other, and their good life includes all family members. It's just that life made them say sorry to each other, we'v missed you.
The title of the film comes from the delivery slip of the courier company where the male protagonist works. This thin piece of paper carries the male protagonist's hope for a better life. Quite sad, at the end of the film, the injured male protagonist wrote his consolation to his wife on the delivery slip. Then, despite the obstruction of his family, he continued to work on the road, because reality did not allow him to stop.
