From the point of view of shooting a documentary, this film has many ideas that can be learned by independent documentary producers in China. Whether it is the entry point of a case story or the method of comparison, I think there are many points worthy of praise. The choice of music reflects The director's sense of humor and obvious American thinking, and the arrangement of the characters are not wrong. It is a very good documentary.
Compared with the director’s shooting method, the content involved in the film is even more sharp. As a Chinese, I undoubtedly have a deep feeling about the examples mentioned in the film. My relatives and friends, including myself, will face the same problems, even The medical problem has always been one of the many problems faced by the ruling party. Inpatients who have not renewed their fees are waiting to die in the hospital, and stories of emergency patients being turned away from the hospital because they have no cash are happening every day. The whole society seems to be unaware of this, and the waves are not surprised. The people rarely ask questions about the system, let alone shoot a documentary to inform current affairs. It is common for old people to resort to religion and pray for safety and health. I don't know if the people are too timid or our ruling party is too strong.
I have long heard of the high welfare in Northern Europe and France. I have seen the film and learned that the United Kingdom and Canada have also implemented the socialist social initiative of free medical care for all. However, we, known as socialist China, are following the path of medical marketization like the United States. , This is undoubtedly a very absurd thing, but we will eventually be much better than the Americans. We even charge for basic compulsory education, not to mention expensive university education and ubiquitous hidden taxes. On the other hand, in France, at least 5 weeks of paid holidays a year are stipulated by the law, (large companies have 8-10 weeks of paid holidays) 35 hours of work per week, more than 35 hours will be subsidized for extra vacation, the government after giving birth Sending a babysitter twice a week to take care of children and teach nurturing knowledge (I think it is very human), there is no money to give birth to children, and as far as I know, the government has corresponding subsidies for having two children and three children. According to the examples in the film After the American guy was injured, the doctor gave a three-month paid cultivation leave. The government paid 65% of the salary and the company paid 35%. This is undoubtedly enviable. Of course, I am not here to discuss high benefits. The tax system and the low-welfare and low-tax system are better or worse, but looking at the world, there are only a few countries with low welfare and high taxes. The people at the bottom of China should be living in a deep and fierce 18-layer hell, but it is not easy to see. What I understand is that the people at the bottom yell on TV every day how happy they are and how good the party is. It is very confusing for monk Zhang Er.
The medical problem itself is a very serious problem. I may be a little joking, but the consequences of the medical problem are extremely terrifying. Countless families have lost their lives due to lack of money to treat diseases, and their wives are scattered. The medical problem in the United States lies in the supervision of medical insurance, and the judgment standard of insurance coverage. Further, there may be disputes between large and small governments, but it is still transparent. In the downstream, whether it is judgments of medical accidents or medicines. Security supervision still embodies the procedural justice and judgment standards of a legal society. The worst is that Americans like Michael can make a film like this to express their dissatisfaction. However, in China, from legislation to supervision, responsibility The construction of the system and the various darkness and tricks among pharmaceuticals, drug administrations, hospitals, and attending doctors are shocking. If a documentary is filmed in this industry, I believe that the darkness it reveals and the warning significance it presents will be stronger than this. Lots of films.
The other impressive thing in this film is the statement about government rule from the old British man in the film. Now the government allows you to live in an extremely unstable, selective and anti-intellectual society, the rule of the government. It will be relatively stable, leaving the people at the bottom without time to take care of the election, making them feel insecure, powerless, and frustrated. All they can do and feel safe is to obey and have the best hope in their hearts. A few sentences point to the point.
In the face of all this, I can’t do anything. I can only discuss what I know with everyone around me, and actively pursue the truth, distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, and spread the broadest aspects of goodness. , Even if you have a good heart, you may not change much now, but we still have to have a good heart and wish everyone a happy new year.
