I didn’t really understand how difficult it is for the unemployed. I thought that as long as I had two hands, I could support myself. I always thought that the lightning in "Zoo City" was just an exaggeration, but after watching this movie, I found the facts and Not really.
In his old age, Blake was unemployed and financially struggling. He applied for social assistance for the first time in his life. There, he met Rachel, a single mother with two children. Rachel’s life seemed even worse, with dark circles under his eyes. Her face was very thin. She didn’t even have enough food at home. The staple food was given to the child. She herself could only eat fruit every day to relieve her hunger. She went to the food assistance station with Blake. When halfway through the purchase, she quietly opened it when she was hungry. After listening to the can, she poured it into her hand and ate it. She was eating it like a beggar on the street. She was ashamed and said sorry to the administrator. The administrator and Black comforted her and asked her not to be sad.
When helping Rachel, Blake’s own life was in a mess. He was old and stodgy and had never used a computer. In the face of the new era, he became more and more at a loss. Because of the need, he first went to the resume training class and wrote a good resume. He asked if there were any vacant positions. All of this made him exhausted, but in the end, the staff of the subsidy center listed him as a sanction because of insufficient evidence of Blake’s resume and told him if he did not continue. For job hunting, the maximum sanction period can reach three years. Blake walked out of the room expressionlessly, without pleading, just disappointed.
He went to find Rachel, only to find that Rachel was working as a prostitute. Black's eyes were full of tears. He did not scold her, nor did he sarcasm. What he said was "The bookcase is ready, and I want to give it to you." Treating this person who has nothing to do with him, Blake is like a father, kind and kind.
Blake took to the street. Originally meticulous and with ethical principles, he took spray paint and wrote on the wall of the office, "I, Daniel Blake, asked me to arrange my appeal day and change the consultation before I starve to death." Rotten ringtones on the phone.” It can be known from the cheers of the people around him that no one opposes his words, which is enough to prove that the cumbersome procedures and uncomfortable administrative agencies have caused widespread dissatisfaction among the public. Blake is just an unemployed person. He is upright and friendly, but he did not get the rights that belonged to him. He just doesn't know much about this new world, so he can only spend the rest of his life without food.
When Rachel and Blake were about to file a complaint against unfair sanctions, Blake died, leaving no word, a word, he was lying in the bathroom, his heart stopped beating forever.
At Black’s funeral, there were only a few people. Rachel read the declaration that Black hadn’t read during his lifetime: “I’m not a client, a customer, or an employer. I’m not a lazy person or a liar, or a beggar or a thief. It’s not the number of the insurance number, and it’s not even the dots in the picture. I silently do my duty and live honestly. I didn’t bow to my knees. When the neighbors were in trouble, I helped them. I didn’t beg for charity or even expected it. I It is Daniel Black, not a dog, but a human being, so I demand to regain my rights and to respect people. I, Daniel Black is a citizen, neither above nor below."
Rather than saying Rachel read these words to a few people, it is better to say that Rachel is facing the whole country.
