extreme poverty is a sin

Poverty is terrible. We've all tried living without money, but have you ever tried being penniless? is abject poverty. Seeing Smith hugging his child and hiding in the subway public toilet with the door locked, listening to the people outside kept knocking on the door and crying constantly, he was almost depressed.

It was everyone's nightmare, displaced and penniless, slipping from the fringes of a functioning society. Being eliminated is like chewing leftover gum. There is a comic book called "Papa Bear Wanderer". A Papa Bear, who was accidentally lost by the owner, rolled off the subway and rolled to various places. The wandering looks beautiful, but it is actually very unbearable. Holding the child and carrying the suitcase, Smith chased around a medical instrument that could not be sold, desperately competing for the only valuable means of production. There is no tile above to cover the body, and no place to stand below. Every day, there is a long line of homeless and beggars, and there is no place to shelter at night a little bit later. What a miserable word.

It doesn't feel like an inspirational movie at all. The protagonist does not have lofty dreams, nor is he a risk-taker who is desperate for his career, he is just an ordinary person. His hard work was just a stress response to what life forced him to do. We admire the concentration and tremendous energy that a person bursts out in a difficult situation, but we cannot but pay attention to how terrible the situation itself is. "Poverty is not a sin, but extreme poverty, extreme poverty is a sin." Dad in "Being Jane Austen" said to Jane, nothing will change your mind, but poverty can. It happened that the "New York Trilogy" I watched recently also described a story about a writer Quinn who gradually cut himself off from the real society and slowly fell into the bottom of life. The writer squatted in the trash can, silently thinking that he was degenerating, but he seemed to be gradually adapting to his new life and appearance without any hindrance. Identity turns out to be just the result of a person's adaptation to the environment. Smith adjusts to his new job and successfully saves his life; Quinn adjusts to the days of not needing dollars and abandons each other with society.

No money really doesn't work.

    There are always unspeakable sufferings in life like this, maybe it is worse than imagined, but only by gritting your teeth and sticking to it, giving yourself a smile every day and then continuing to work hard, happiness will happen unexpectedly one day

The Pursuit of Happyness quotes

  • Christopher: [while walking past a bus and to sell a bone density scanner] Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny? There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said "Do you need help?" and the man said "God will save me". Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said "God will save me", then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, "God, why didn't you save me?" and God said "I sent you two boats, you dummy!"
