unable to calm down

"Crossing Borders" is like a sharp sword that can penetrate the human soul.
After watching it for a long time, I can’t calm down. The whole film is very depressing from beginning to end, like a boulder pressing on my chest, racial issues, immigration issues, the leniency and narrowness of human nature. human heart. It is also the green card issue. Through multiple perspectives and events, the film shows the different attitudes of people before the same problem.
The movie reminds me of another movie "Crash". This film is like a branch of "Crash", and all the problems are caused by the immigration line.
There are many scenes in the film that almost made me cry. The victims treated all injustices with a stubborn attitude. They were deported because of an essay, became the target of the approvers for the green card, and for the mother whose child died at the U.S. border. As long as you are in the U.S. and you haven't gotten a green card yet, then other people's turf is in the hands of others. In this film, the veteran actor Harrison Ford constantly saves face for the Americans in this film that directly hits the immigration and racial issues in the United States. He is in an embarrassing role, but maximizes the beauty of human nature.
I highly recommend everyone to watch "Across Borders" in 2009.

    It can only be said that the director has never been to China. The various inequalities described in the film are not free. Coming to China is simply a great freedom and equality. Summary, the work of a frog at the bottom of the well. Because he himself did not realize that the film could be released to the public. , itself is the greatest freedom. This is absolutely impossible in China.

    I have always disliked movies composed of multiple short stories. It seems that the meaning of the feature film itself has been lost, and the theme of immigration has not been dug deeply. It is more like an American narcissistic movie.

Crossing Over quotes

  • Max Brogan: I've never been invited to a shunning before. What is this? Something you guys brought over with you?

    Zahra Baraheri: I didn't bring it, I was born here. I'm the only one in this family who's an actual American.

  • Claire Sheperd: No - you're not hearing me. This is what you need to understand, okay? When I come into one of these fleabag rooms, I switch off. You might as well be making it with a rubber fuck doll, because she'd be giving you more emotion than you'll ever get from me. When I get home, I'm an hour in the shower getting clean of you. That is the extent of it, that is as real as it's ever going to get between us. Is that clear enough?
