The situation is too complicated, the emotion is too complicated

The director is a fat man, a guy with courage and wisdom. Excluding other aspects of the film, what he feels more is the director's heart. Every movie is an expression of the director's heart. The strange thing is that the mood I feel from the film is actually sympathy. The word itself is very oriental. I recall those fragments in my mind, and the people who told their experiences in front of the camera, maybe at this point, resistance is not the most important thing. They just need "help", not based on profit, but based on humanity, which is based on "natural human rights and equality for all". We cannot ask people to be filled with modern ideas and to live a life of slavery in the Middle Ages—loss of liberty, loss of security of life, and brutal confrontation with each other. Look at the glossy outfits of the MPs who have been bribed by the medical companies, and the green labels floating like bubbles on their heads - the unknown value of their bribes, I can imagine that more people see it in ordinary occasions They won't have much feedback, and more people will believe their words. Politicians are the best at lying. He says what people are willing to listen to and do what the interests want him to do. This ironic scene made me feel the mood. It is still compassion, these people are hateful and pitiful, desire is the raw material for their survival, not conscience, their more skill than monkeys is to stand hypocritically, they live on the ground and can only feel their own existence, they are powerless to change What can only be eroded and perished by the old system, become a part of it, gain honor and money at the expense of the soul.
Many office workers are willing to immerse themselves in the world of entertainment, wonderful bubble dramas, exaggerated talent shows, how wonderful, even if only for this moment, they can avoid facing the terrifying truth of the world, and they can cover their noses to block the difficulty. The stench can cover your eyes, don't see the pus in the acne, don't touch it, the sticky, wet and disgusting monster skin, this is the reality, it can always make you feel dissatisfied and complain and you can't breathe, but it really It really exists, like those good things, that make up the whole of life, that is, our world, all of us. When the camera turns to the free health care system in Britain, France, Canada and Cuba, we don't want to go into all the details. We can't ask a one-step movie to be as precise as a scientific report. Would you be willing to spend two hours dealing with a pile of data? Data can also be deceiving and limited. Any well-organized information is just a rough looking glass in the world. Don’t expect it to tell you everything, you have to think about the truth yourself. The director turns his attention to other countries is nothing but to build a dream, this dream has surpassed the existing system itself, the shortest board on the barrel determines its capacity, whether a country is really good depends on whether it can take care of the real needs The people who take care of them, otherwise, we are no different from the animals on the African grasslands. Those animals don't have to torture themselves all day long, and they don't have to hire someone to take over your freedom and give you money. Of course, they There is no medical insurance, but there is no need to pay for space and drinking water. The difference may be that humans can plunder their homes without paying any compensation. After plundering, humans themselves may not live well. These are beyond the scope of logical understanding. , what a strange place in a strange world.
The perfection of any system depends on a primitive will, which can form power in the hearts of more people. The lovely director has conveyed it. We live in a world of ours, not mine. , need each other, help each other, we are a race, and everyone is equal in this world - the development direction of the system should be here, only if everyone has this will in their hearts, the terrible monsters of reality will be conquered. What needs to be confronted is not unemployment, high taxes and housing debt, but awareness, realizing that the current situation that is somewhat bad can be improved, starting from yourself, don’t lose hope, don’t close your mind, and replace reasonable help with strife. At that time, the corresponding The system will naturally be established.
Once, I thought that technology is the most powerful force that can change the status quo, but the film reflects that some superior powerhouses control this force and fail to benefit all mankind, nor do they do something for the nature that lives in it What, desires and interests govern the overall consciousness that ultimately leads to destruction. In any era, it is always the human mind and consciousness that needs to be healed. No matter how advanced technology and civilization one has, spiritually, people will always survive weakly. There are limits to numbness or despair, but at least some people can stand up bravely. , tell us how the world is, it's not just a country's problem, it's everyone's problem, we have the most and the best resources on earth, why can't we make our race a happier life?

    Although other people's systems are not as beautiful as one-sided, but compared to the Americans' own medical insurance system, it is indeed much better to feel from the most basic point of view. What this film points out is a crux that cannot be ignored, and it is highly expressive. Even though Mike Moore’s pan-realistic documentary with a strong personal style makes some people feel uncomfortable, the editing out of context, avoiding the full exaggeration, only part of the exaggeration, subjective tendencies and emotional actions, it seems that these are all incompatible with traditional documentaries. . But in such an unprecedentedly flood of information society, people should have more thoughts about the information they receive, instead of blindly asking the communicator to take full responsibility.

Sicko quotes

  • [Linda Peeno speaking before Congress]

    Linda Peeno: My name is Linda Peeno. I am here primarily today to make a public confession: In the Spring of 1987, as a physician, I denied a man a necessary operation that would have saved his life, and thus caused his death. No person, and no group has held me accountable for this, because in fact, what I did was I saved a company a half a million dollars for this. And for the more, this particular act secured my reputation as a good medical director, and it insured my continued advancement in the health care field. I went from making a few hundred dollars a week as a medical reviewer, to an escalating six-figure income as a physician executive. In all my work, I had one primary duty, and that was to use my medical expertise for the financial benefit for the organization which I worked. And I was told repeatedly that I was not denying care, I was simply denying payment. I know how managed care maims and kills patients. So I am here to tell you about the dirty work of managed care. And I'm haunted by the thousands of pieces of paper in which I have written that deadly word - "denied".

  • Michael Moore: Hope for the best is what we do, right from the moment we're born. We've got the worst infant mortality rate in the western world. A baby in El Salvador has a better chance of surviving than a baby born in Detroit. But it gets better when we go to school.

    Spokeperson: Classrooms with 40 students. Schools with no science labs.

    Michael Moore: Ha, no wonder the majority of our young adults can't find Britain on the map. But that's okay. There's always college. And by the time we graduate, our ass is so in hock, we're deep in debt before we even have our first job.

    college student in debt: I'm at about - we'll say about 35,000 dollars in debt. That's for my third year of college.

    Michael Moore: That way, you'll be the kind of employee they're looking for - one who needs this job. But what employer wouldn't want to employ someone thousands of dollars in debt? Because they won't cause any trouble. In addition to having to pay off your college debt, you need a job with health insurance. It would be horrible to lose that kind of job. And if that one job doesn't pay all the bills, don't worry, you can get another one, and another one, and another one.

    woman who works 3 jobs: I work three jobs, and I feel like I contribute.

    George W. Bush: You work three jobs?

    woman who works 3 jobs: Three jobs, yes.

    George W. Bush: [to crowd] Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean that is fantastic that you're doing that. Get any sleep?

    Michael Moore: And if you're not getting enough sleep, take pharmecuticals.

    [a montage of several pharmaceutical commercials is shown, all saying the "Ask Your doctor" catchphrase]

    Michael Moore: Yes, ask your doctor, and ask him for more drugs. That should keep you pretty doped up until it's time to retire. D-did I say retire?

    [Moore sarcastically laughs]

    Michael Moore: Well if you do make it to 80, I'm sure your pension will still be there. Unlike the new employees for these companies which will never see a pension.

    [a quick slide show shows many companies, such as Coca-Cola, IBM, GM, Hershey's, Sprint and FedEx]

    Michael Moore: But don't worry, I'm sure our kids will take care of us. Considering the great life we've given them. Oh, and remember: Let's defeat the terrorists over there, so we don't have to fight them here.
