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.

    This is the "new realism" of the young Ken Lodge. When the "pure" neo-realism movement was fading in the tide of post-war reconstruction, Ken Lodge, as a latecomer, expressed a strong demand for realism in the past five decades, no less than "Theft of Bicycles". De Sica in The Man of Man or Visconti in The Waves of the Earth. As always, he pays attention to the life of the working people at the bottom, emphasizes the timeliness of the subject matter, and shows the living conditions of the British working class. In the United Kingdom, he is a meticulous observer, faithfully recording the real landscape below the horizon; in the film, he is a devout believer, stubbornly following the traditional creed of Neorealism, and guarding the precious heritage of the film.

    7 points. Kenlodge's normal play, whether in style or theme, is a habit. It is about how desperately a low-level family lives, how hard and how difficult it is. Paying attention to the bottom as always is a Kenloch conscience. The only regret is that the development of the plot in the back is a little deliberate, and all kinds of unfortunate things hit
