The background of the story is set in Paris in 2015, but there is nothing at all. A sense of distance in time and space, because something similar happened in 2005! When I saw the riots in the film, I immediately thought of the Paris riots after four years. It can be said that the film is a portrayal of the whole incident to a certain extent, but the director did not dare to say it blatantly. Even so, it alludes to the ruthless reality...
Whether it is the film or that period of history, discrimination is the cause of all this. fuse and root cause. This kind of discrimination includes many aspects such as race, religion, etc., which intensifies the contradictions in society over time, so even a small isolated incident becomes the spark that ignites this angry society. This kind of thing often happens in China. The nature of mass incidents is the same. They are all the public venting their long-held dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts. They just use a radical way to Address reasonable requests that have been ignored by "some people" for a long time.
After watching the film, I found that: those politicians who are sanctimonious behind their backs but plan illegal activities are far more hateful than hooligans. They are the makers of discriminatory policies and the initiators of unfair systems. The bias of the system has caused social chaos. Is there any other way for the general public to change anything? Sometimes, I really want to break everything of this sin, get rid of the bondage, rush out, and speak out...
It seems that there is a river and lake in everyone's heart, then let the breath of this river and lake be looming in our personal world...
