Human society has In its complexity, this documentary contains a wide variety of content, but the chosen perspective is unique and has no sense of clutter. Its unique logic runs through the entire film, leading the audience to think, reflect and act step by step. There is not a single monologue in the whole process. People from all countries, regions and nationalities in the world are facing you, answering questions about human beings sincerely, bravely and honestly.
They endured hardships we never imagined, and extreme poverty seems like a distant word. We hear about the war, but it is not related to the suffering of the people during the war; we hear about the oppression, but we cannot imagine how it feels to be humiliated and brutally killed in front of our relatives. We can't get a sense of participation, we can't understand the real pain in it
Take the refugee issue as an example
[Now i am living in the jungle of Calais, the police come and disturb us: "you have to leave the jungle." I said:" where i have to go? Show me the place. We wanna to go to that." He said:" you have to go back to your country." I said: "where is my country? I do not have country, man! It's a killing ground!]
The sad faces, the smiles forced out in front of the camera are difficult to hang on their faces, and the sadness is deeply rooted in their hearts.
They do not have their own country, they are abandoned by their own country, just imagine how terrible things will make so many refugees abandon their homeland where their ancestors have lived for generations, and travel across the ocean to come to a strange place after untold hardships. Europa?
Their sisters and wives were brutally raped and murdered in front of their own eyes, their family members were brutally murdered in front of their own eyes, and they had no way out! Those executioners in their country, even more than 30 countries can't control, even the United Nations can't do anything, what hope do they have? They no longer have a homeland.
The fate of refugees is destined to be sad. In developed countries, those politicians with ulterior motives and unscrupulous people who do whatever they can to seek benefits have worked hard to provoke conflicts between local residents and refugees. Every little thing has been repeatedly magnified by the media. Even if it is not the refugees' actions, the refugees should be blamed for this. Even if you take a step back, refugees are the same as European people - good and bad, the arrival of refugees will indeed have a certain degree of impact on the local people, such as crime, etc. In the face of this situation, what is needed is more tolerance, not harassment Hold on tight. The road to finding a new life is still long.
A father with a calm face, his daughter was shot dead by an Israeli border policeman in front of the school a few years ago, she is not a fighter and does not know any conflict, just because she is a Palestinian, he wants to protect himself His daughter took revenge, but he thought he was human and killed the policeman for his daughter's revenge. As a result, one more person died, and her daughter would not come back to life. So he chose to use a few years to let go and break this vicious cycle of bloodshed and revenge. Some said he had no right to forgive all this in his daughter's name, and he replied that he also had no right to avenge in her name.
Maybe we just need a spirit of forgiveness and forgiveness to face all kinds of difficult problems now.
This is a story about suffering and liberation. To use an old Chinese saying: Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Whether people living in cities or African primitive tribes, have their own joys and pains, as well as their own hopes. Human beings are like this. They have a similar mentality change. When the environment is harsh and poor, they will The standard will naturally be lowered, and when the environment is superior and abundant, the standard will be raised accordingly. When a poor African in the film was asked what happiness is, he said that being able to eat enough, having a place to sleep, having electricity is happiness, and sleeping without dark is happiness.
Suddenly I thought of a paragraph in an article by Mo Yan:
"Human society seems complex and rich, but it is actually very simple to think about. It is just that poor people pursue wealth, and rich people pursue excitement and pleasure. ]
Indeed it is. The poor people of Mumbai have no grains of food because of the drought. The rich people live in places with an average of two swimming pools on each floor. Those who have to go to the city because of the drought to work, build with their drought-stricken hands. Set up luxurious swimming pools for the rich to enjoy themselves.
An Indian woman yells into the camera that she can't get enough food herself, nor can her family. She questioned the politicians, which she felt was because they were playing with their positions to make money for the rich. Make so many poor people live in dire straits.
What is behind the software engineering or IT industry that makes the world look up to India? An Indian man said sadly: "In India, the only thing that is growing faster than software engineering or IT is the country's growing gap between rich and poor.
Regarding the meaning of life
[we came into this world, in the beginning we I hope to help those poor people eat well and give alms to beggars, but gradually, we are running around for daily necessities and food and clothing.]
Perhaps the meaning of living lies in the process of living. After watching this documentary, I can see the choices and environments faced by people in all countries and regions, as well as the process of seeking relief from pain. I vaguely feel that there is a great thing in human beings, and that is hope. Even in how hopeless and difficult the environment may seem, there will always be a star of hope shining brightly, no matter your race or your beliefs.
