Don't be too angry~

The title of the film is quite romantic. Can a system, a country, and the people living in it stage a romantic affair? Michael Moore tells us with a shaky lens, just like the love around us, no matter how moldy it looks, like fog, rain, or wind; no matter how hard the mountain is at the beginning, the sky and the earth will dare to meet. Your absolute promise. In the face of reality, interests prevail. The veil was lifted, and the wreckage was devastated.
The film review began as a blood and tearful complaint from a middle-class family who worked hard and managed to make a living, but ended up being repossessed by the government and kicked out of their homes, not knowing which part of the story they took the wrong step, or if it was just a fight. An interlocking scam.
People can do what they like, men earn money to support their families, women run the house, free medical care and paid holidays, every family has savings and no debt, don't have to worry about old age, don't have to take loans for school, the government builds water conservancy for citizens Build bridges, set up factories, schools and hospitals. This thriving social scene is refracted on the colorful bubbles deliberately blown by someone, and it bursts with a poke. Who created the illusion? Who wrote this bad check? At the end of this reversal drama, who is making money? Who is paying the bill?
Capitalism, the government is not the government, the state is not like the state. Here, the word of profit comes first. Capital symbolizes power, and power brings greater capital. This dirty black hand is turning clouds and rain, making the common people unable to resist, only to fall into the whirlpool.
The so-called human rights means that the moment the company does not need you, it will immediately shove you out of the house, drain all the value on you, and then write it off in one stroke. The so-called human rights are the insurance policies that the company purchases for employees, making each life equal to a series of cold numbers, which can be added to the company's profits as additional income after an employee's accident. The so-called human rights mean that the lives of young people are regarded as dust, and the government departments are reduced to profit-making organizations. How can we expect them to be effective? Countless teens who are only a little guilty have fallen victim to the system, they have a big future, but someone has blindfolded them. What you can see is pitch black.
What is democracy again? Is it the so-called one person one vote in the slogan? This is a perfect scam, and the authorities are fully confident that under their own delicate arrangements, everyone becomes a shackled actor and a puppet with a thread. In the United States, 1% of the people at the top of the pyramid account for 95% of the capital. In order to appease the people at the bottom, they have deliberately created an illusory and beautiful American dream, so that people think that if they work hard enough, they can jump to the top of the tower one day. However, is it really so? They control capital, they control ideas, they control voting, and democracy is reduced to a dead letter.
The more you play, the bigger the game, and the most important props are the so-called financial derivatives. What are financial derivatives? Under Michael Moore's camera, everyone was mumbling and faltering. Is it unwilling to explain clearly, or is it not clear at all? Financial predators take advantage of people's greed to incite consumption and encourage borrowing. Unable to repay debts are packaged into gorgeous high-quality financial products, and the New York Stock Exchange is a false prosperity. This funny drama, the initiator of Wall Street will not stop, the government will not stop, the people will not stop, the bubble will be blown bigger and bigger.
However, castles in the sky will crash one day, starting with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The stock price fell again and again, and everyone on Wall Street was in danger. No bank can escape this disaster, but Congress put forward a proposal to save the world at this time, using taxpayer money to save private banks from the disaster, and this disaster was one of the first. Executives made a fortune from the disaster, leaving a homeless and angry populace. They fell from the pavilion with nothing, some saw the deception clearly, and some still didn't know it.
At this point, someone should reflect, someone should review, and there should be a thorough reshuffle. Obama came to power, proposing that "the economic system that is suitable for the people at the bottom, and the economic system that is accepted by the people at the bottom is the best economic system." According to subsequent polls, 37% of the youth group are inclined to socialism. Of course, the transition from capitalism to socialism is not an overnight thing, but at least the people should think more about it, and the government should put its position in the right position and make it clear whose interests it should represent, otherwise, the tragedy will still repeat itself.
However, every system has its drawbacks (except for the ideal of communism, which is the struggle of all mankind), every society has uneven distribution, there are differences between the rich and the poor, there are collusion between officials and businessmen, and there are people who suffer. Traitors rule. This may not be said to be the fault of the system. However, as a decision maker, we must focus on the overall situation, try our best to eliminate conflicts, and take care of the interests of all parties. This seems to be idealistic again.
At the end of the film, the director said, "It's always the poor who don't get the bread, because those people take the whole bread and leave nothing for the poor. I don't want to live in such a country, but I won't leave. "I prefer to understand this sentence in this way, the past has caused the present situation, but I have hope for the future, and I am willing to stay and do my little bit to make tomorrow a better place.
