Dreams are the vibrato of life

My wife and I both had dreams after watching the movie "Two Days and One Night".
My dream, about endings, starting over, I dreamed that I was 17 again, the night before college started.
My wife's dream, about the story, asked for help. She dreamed that she was pushing her mother in a wheelchair and seeking medical treatment everywhere.
The wife's mother has passed away, so what she dreams of is regret. She regrets that she has no chance to ask for help and do more for her mother.
I'm teaching myself to be a film critic, so my dream is to hope that I can have the ease of studying in those days.


The film "Two Days, One Night" directed by the Belgian Darney brothers is about the vibrato of life.
16,000 euros, 16 people, 1,000 euros per person, equivalent to RMB, 8,000 yuan.
In 2014, when the film was released, the official minimum wage in Belgium was 1,501.82 euros per month, equivalent to 12,000 yuan.
Judging from the statistics, the bonus of 8,000 yuan is not enough for a month's minimum wage, a small case.
In the price reference given in the movie, a family of three, the mother is unemployed, the daughter is studying, and the father supports the family alone, the family's monthly living expenses are 500 euros, equivalent to 4,000 yuan.
Calculated according to the actual living standard, the bonus of 8,000 yuan is the living expenses for two months, which is very important and crucial.
The heroine, Sandra, kept asking for help for two days and one night, begging her 16 co-workers to give up the 1,000 euro bonus so that the boss could take the 16,000 euro bonus to pay her salary and keep her her own work.
Her request is absolutely selfish.
She doesn't need everyone to agree to her request. She already has 2 staunch supporters. As long as she pulls 7 more workers to give up the bonus, she can 9:7 in the voting rules set by the boss. More than half won.
She wins, she wins her job,
those who support her lose their bonuses, but gain spiritual satisfaction;
those who do not support her are the worst, not only the bonuses go to waste, but also the wicked among colleagues for nothing.


Because, when Sandra went door-to-door and asked for help in order to keep her job, every worker with the right to vote was faced with these three dilemmas:
1. Agree, 100% of the money is lost.
2. If you refuse, you may not get the money.
3. Hiding and not seeing each other is equivalent to abstaining.
Therefore, the Taiwanese translation of the film is called "Referendum Meal Ticket".
However, please don't get carried away.
This is not a film that satirizes the abuse of democracy and criticizes the ruthlessness of capitalists.
The theme of "Two Days and One Night" is actually about how husband and wife should share weal and woe?
The real hand in hand is to walk along the road, not to talk to each other. I love you and I support you.
