The epitome of everyone's life may be so boring

If you're an impatient, then sorry, this movie may not be for you.
Because the plot and rhythm are slow like every minute and second in daily life.
And the story told in the movie is so real, or, so divinely like a microcosm of life.

On the road of life, we will definitely need a partner who will always support us and a friend who will encourage us.

When we do everything, we will hesitate, deny ourselves, be cowardly, and dare not take that step.

But when we take that step, that's when the experience of life begins.

We will be rejected, we will be accepted.

We meet all kinds of people.

Some people, being kind, will give you strong encouragement and accept your opinion.
Some people, being selfish, would rather save what they have at the expense of you.
Some people are hesitant, standing on the scale of kindness and selfishness, swaying, maybe they choose selfishness for a while, but they are entangled in their hearts. Maybe you give yourself a chance to convince him, and in fact convince him himself.

In the process of communicating with people, we may not have any skills, or we may repeat the same words to everyone in this way.
However, each opponent is different. So, every time is different.

Maybe we thought, if we did it, we could succeed.
But, more often than not, we may just fail.
And, anyway, the result is not important anymore.
Importantly, we have grown.

    The seemingly simple structure of the road movie shows amazingly complex layers in [Two Days, One Night], and it becomes a gut-wrenching life drama. Its theme is the state of life of people in the post-economic crisis era: this is not to emphasize its political nature, but it ultimately rests on people. The 14 meetings on the same subject are never redundant, because the form of conscience torture is always different from person to person. The heroine's final victory is therefore very touching.

    [Broadway Dana Brothers Retrospective] Under the evil capitalist system, the shameless and cowardly capitalists obeyed the results of the workers' vote and challenged the humanity of blue-collar workers with a bonus of 1,000 euros. The disadvantaged female workers suffer from depression and mental illness and have not yet recovered. They can only lobby around in their cars. The situation is much better than the real "proletariat". No matter which link above is involved, it is completely different from what happens to blue-collar workers in developing countries. There are 16 workers in 16 situations in the film, and the screenwriter tries to make them as different as possible, which inevitably has a sense of repetition and design. The whole process uses long shots to follow the heroine, and narrates from a single perspective. Not having a background soundtrack but having the characters play music is also somewhat deliberate.

Two Days, One Night quotes

  • Sandra: Everytime I feel like a beggar, a thief coming to take their money. They look at me, ready to hit me. I feel like I'm hitting them too.

  • Timur: Hello.

    Sandra: Hello. Your daughter told me you were here. I was round at your place. I wanted to see you about the vote on the bonus and me being laid off. Juliette and I saw Dumont and he'll let us hold another ballot Monday because Jean-Marc influenced people by telling them that Dumont wanted to lay off staff anyway. So if it wasn't me who was made redundant it would be them... So... I wanted to ask you if... if you'd vote for me to stay on Monday.

    Timur: [in tears] Of course I will. I'm really glad you're here. I'm so mad at myself for voting for my bonus. I'm sorry.

    Sandra: Don't be sorry. I can understand. 1.000 Euros.

    Timur: No. I'm ashamed. I even forgot what you did for me. Remember? When I broke those cells... and you said you did it. You remember.

    Sandra: Yes, and Jean-Marc even said: "Fine example to set the new guy!"

    Timur: I'm really glad you came.
