I think this is the best movie of 2016
First, there is the authenticity of the story response. I think this is the most basic requirement of a drama film. Generally, the story of a film will have some changes and modifications, even if it is a film from a real story (such as Hacksaw Ridge, which makes the protagonist look good), but it will not be divorced from the story. Authenticity, that is to say, in the real world, you can always see and experience similar situations, whether it is yourself, relatives, friends, or neighbors and strangers, so the movie will give people a sense of intimacy and authenticity, which can often be seen when watching movies. It makes people feel the same way. Unlike domestic anti-Japanese dramas or American superhero series, those movies will only make people feel empty and absurd after watching them. Really good movies often make people see society, life and human nature. It can show people's selfishness, helplessness in life, warmth of human nature, government inaction, social deformity, and our inner troubles and struggles, just like people shed tears into their hearts and put smiles into their hearts.
Secondly, it is the expression of the inner emotions of the characters. Sometimes a good movie is just an expression of people's inner emotions in a specific situation. The performance needs to be as real as possible, not a huge and exquisite CG picture, an embarrassing plot, or earth-shattering determination. After all, people rarely encounter these in real life, and they don't even need them. Movies like this, on the contrary, deprive people of the nature of human beings as emotional creatures, and make characters rigid (as was the case with Operation Mekong). These are vivid and delicate in Daniel and Rachel, the heroine's school shoes are ridiculed, and the son's lonely heart, these can be seen around us, Ken Rocky really brought tears to his heart. Written on every action and expression of the characters. The characters in the so-called good movies are not necessarily beautiful, handsome, or mother-in-law (there is no intention to write about the demon, the acting is really unbearable), or tough guys. Looking uncomfortable. So this is not a movie without big stars, no pretty faces, no handsome guys and beauties, but it's well done. After all, sometimes it depends on acting rather than appearance (when Matt Demon was filming The Spy Shots, it was also a public face). So a good movie is not about stars and scenes, but about real feelings, acting skills and good stories. After all, our lives are stories.
Then, there is the reaction to the real society. Movies are for people to watch, to express a certain concept, viewpoint or cognition. The film with the best personal humanity is not shouting slogans (like anti-Japanese dramas and civil war dramas in our country, everyone knows that the slogans you shout are pretentious and prejudiced. On the contrary, it makes people look more disgusting, and can only play a role in correcting The role of brainwashing by the ignorant or minors will be sneered by those who have knowledge.), but it is expressed in the details and storyline of the movie, or just tells the story, so that the audience can feel, think, and experience by themselves. . Only in this way can it play a touching role (rather than shouting from start to finish what is right and what is wrong. It is simply pulling the flag, making a revolution, where is the movie). Many problems of capitalist countries are also shown in the film. The filming scenes are dilapidated houses in Newcastle, high house taxes in London, and the cumbersome and corrupt government agencies in the United Kingdom (it is a portrayal of our country, no Our country is even more powerful), several protagonists in the movie can only wear one coat all the time, this is also considered... Of course, the movie also shows that there are also human beings in the corrupt system, such as An, who is also doing his best within his ability. It is possible to help others, so we can see that it is not because the system is bad that people are not good. After all, people are people...
The scruffy British police can also be seen in the film cheering the small crowd of onlookers
There is also the section on Chinese knockoffs, which is an excellent recognition of the footwear industry in Guangzhou, my country. The quality of our products has really reached a certain level. Haha
Of course, the ending of the movie is not good, but I personally think it is just right. It fully shows that people at the bottom cannot live well. Once they get sick or lose their jobs, they will face the fate of starvation, sleeping on the street, and even death. Moreover, without the help they deserve, the government aid agencies are just a tool for political parties to pretend to seek personal gain for themselves, install jobs for their own people, and cast votes. But thinking about how many similar stories are going to happen every day in our country, I feel uneasy!
Finally, I want to say that the real movie is the right expression of life and feelings!
