I remember the subject of an impromptu speech during a college professional interview, a 5-minute comment on a news report. News content is the most tragic consequence of bureaucracy in rural China. When I was explaining it, I basically talked about things, because I didn't really understand what bureaucracy was at the time. Today, however, I can say that I understand the concept of this term very well, because I have suffered from it myself.
In the movie, the mother played by Jolie educates her son, Never start a fight, always finish it. In fact, in the process of growing up, we were also instilled with this concept by adults. That is, we do not cause trouble, but we must accompany those who bully us to the end. As most of us among the good people, the probability of thinking about making trouble and putting it into practice should be extremely low. Therefore, in many cases, when we are so angry that we can't bear to fight back, it must be when we are provoked.
The mother played by Jolie is very different from her previous roles. She is no longer a strong and intimidating woman. She is just a mother, an ordinary woman full of motherhood who just wants to protect her children and live her life honestly. However, when her voice threatened the interests of the authorities, she was immediately symbolically regarded as an absolute enemy on the opposite side of the police station, although she was only an unarmed mother who represented the weaker side.
When the police captain repeatedly ignored Mrs Collins' questions and escalated into threats and even persecution. We get so outraged that a mother's unreasonable request to get her real son back is treated in such a bizarre and even inhuman manner. But what strikes us most is that this is not imagination, this is what has actually happened, and is happening every day in reality, that the establishment is deliberately disregarding the public interest. When we go to school, when we are employed, when we want to have children, when we need to ask for salary, when our house is to be demolished, whenever we express our legitimate demands with trepidation, we will always be greeted with various official reasons. hindered. I used to think this was really a baffling thing, but after watching this movie, when it happened in the land of old beauty, I finally realized it, because they don't care , they don't care about your life and death, don't care about your situation, the only thing they care about is themselves and their interests. This is why those ridiculous words that are absurd to the extreme always come from the mouths of some officials, thanking them for having time to entertain the public during their busy schedules.
When Mrs Collins scolded the psychiatrist with that swear word that shouldn't have come out of the lady's mouth at all, that was what I thought was the most appropriate expression in the situation, the happiest expression, like the female patient said like that. When faced with a person who lacks humanity, can you still expect a normal person like yourself to communicate with him normally? Obviously not. Thankfully, Mrs Collins was supported by a priest speaking in the voice of God, and she was able to escape the mental hospital and see the bad guys brought to justice. But what about those who have had similar experiences to Mrs Collins but have not had such good luck? They are like forever in a corner where the sun can't shine, no one cares about their life or death, and justice can't be served. Although we have seen Mrs. Collins' extraordinary courage and persistence, if there was no external help and pressure from public opinion, she might end up dying in a mental hospital, taking that secret into her grave forever.
Rights need to be monitored, and this is the truth that the movie tells us once again. In a country where God is not believed, who will save Mrs Collins?
