Like a children's book

I watched the new film "Two Days, One Night" by the Dardenne brothers in the cinema. The entanglement between the marginal characters, the tension between the highly dramatic and minimalist form, and the three-minute swings before the end, everything seems to have not changed, but this movie feels bad for me. I was sulking while watching, and felt that every actor was terrible. I can't just say it's bad. Instead, I have to spend a long time thinking about why I feel bad. This proves its viewing value. What worries me most is the end of the story. A low-level figure defends his economic rights, and when he shakes the capital chain, he finally acts on the cliché "conscience". This caused a loss. Not the voice from the left that I expected. It falls into the stereotype of moral preaching, setting up questions while simplifying them, just like a children's book does.
