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?

Sicko quotes

  • Aleida Guevara: Cuba is a little island in the Caribbean with little to no resources. We can do a lot to improve the people's health. This does not happen in the United States. Why are we able and you are not?

  • [final lines]

    Michael Moore: It was hard for me to acknowledge that in the end, we truly are all in the same boat. And that now matter what are differences, we sink or swim together. That's how it seems to be everywhere else. They take care of each other, no matter what their disagreements. You know, when we see a good idea from another country, we grab it. If they build a better car, we drive it. If they make a better wine, we drink it. So if they've come up with a better way to treat the sick, to teach their kids, to take care of their babies, to simply be good to each other, then what's our problem? Why can't we do that? They live in a world of 'we', not 'me'. We'll never fix anything until we get that one basic thing right. And powerful forces hope that we never do. And that we remain the only country in the western world without free, universal health care. You know, if we ever did remove the chokehold of medical bills, college loans, daycare, and everything else that makes us afraid to step out of line, well, watch out. Cause it will be a new day in America. In the meantime, I'm gonna go get the government to do my laundry.
