Social problems cannot be attributed to human problems

Casey 2022-03-23 09:03:03

I told others about this movie today, saying that the harder the protagonist works, the more needles he pierces, but there is nothing he can do.

The man replied to me: Choice is greater than effort.

I retorted: we can't simply attribute social problems to human problems. If we need people to do these jobs, there will always be people who will struggle harder and harder.

In today's increasingly convoluted society, it is always accustomed to attribute social problems to people's problems, and it lacks the care and protection of the minority and even grants due rights.

    #72nd Cannes# "King of Cannes" Ken Loach has been shortlisted for the 14th time in the main competition, and is still the subject of social realism he is good at. The title of the film should actually be translated as "apology card". Continuing the discussion of the digital divide in "I Am Black", this film mainly discusses "machine rulers", about how the eight-hour workday was ruthlessly rewritten by big capital and computer systems into 14X6, and there is no guarantee "" Self Employed". The inspiration is probably from Amazon's logistics. There's a lot less anger and a lot more warmth than Uncle Ken's previous work on British working-class families. The problem is that, first of all, Uncle Ken's means of manipulating the audience this time are a little too obvious, and the sensational part is too blunt. The second is that Uncle Ken's understanding of the post-00s generation and the Internet is really... This family makes people feel like they are still living in the 1960s. Being shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes should already be a big (respect for the elderly + leftist stance) recognition. After watching the film, the audience can remember to be nice to the delivery brother, the delivery brother, and the purpose of the film should be achieved.

    It's Ken Loach, who is used to focusing his camera on the bottom class in Britain. Not feminine or dazzling, straightforward, honest, and powerful! The cross-description of labor's repressive work and personal family life, pity for hard labor, and accuse of capital, directly point to the lack of social security administration. During the period when my daughter confessed, the family of three cried, and I cried too. The teenager beside me cried, and the whole audience cried, which is better than "I am Black". Please, Ken Loach, who is in his old age, must continue to shoot. You are the British conscience.
