What impresses me the most all the time is this kind of film about the situation of marginalized people in society, such as "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", such as "Little Guy", such as "Sorry, We Missed You" in 2019. The sentence "sorry we missed you" was originally a sentence written on the British courier list, that is, when the courier delivered the parcel, if there was no one at home, he would leave a note from the courier company with this sentence on it. The title of the film also implies that the hero's job is a courier. The typical background occurred in the financial crisis in 2018. According to statistics, as of October 2018, 150,000 jobs in the UK have been cut. The film takes place in Manchester, an industrial city in the United Kingdom. An ordinary working class cannot continue to take out loans to buy a house and chooses to be a courier. He thought this job would relieve his family's worries, but he did not expect to fall into a bigger predicament... It is said that the male protagonist did not know the result of his own in the film during the filming process, which reminded me of our director Wong Kar Wai. Sure enough, in 2006, Ken Loach won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival with "The Wind and the Wheat Wave". Give him an award. And ten years later, when Ken Loach won another award for "I Am Black", he was 80 years old. I feel like I've got another director who I really love. I like the kind of director who speaks for ordinary people, writes ordinary people's lives, and embodies great and strong humanity. Ken Loach is not so much a director as he is a social activist. He has been shooting films on the theme of the tough and unyielding working class all his life, and he was in trouble for a time. In order to continue filming, he had to take over the filming. An advertisement for a fast-selling brand, but this made his conscience uneasy, so that he later made a documentary to criticize the fast-selling product industry. It is conceivable how stubborn he is, but it is this kind of stubbornness that makes him stubborn. Let him shoot so many good works that hit people's hearts. Under his lens, the protagonists have the same stubbornness as him, that is, as long as they can work, they will not receive unemployment benefits from the government.
