      Take your life to trade - who's life?

      The first time I saw this title, especially the Chinese title, I thought it would be a gangster film with intense fighting, showing individual heroes. Well, I haven't seen a similar fast-paced movie recently. However, after watching it, I feel that this film is too shocking, with a kind of sadness, grief and anger. Nearly 100 million people linger at the border each year, and millions more enter illegally each year. A large part of this is smuggling through smugglers. There are countless people...

      The evil of the causal cycle

      In the end, when George returned to Mexico, he killed the blond human trafficker leader at the door of the house, and the trafficker's young son happened to see him. Maybe in the future the trafficker's youngest son will kill George too.
      Police officer Ray's daughter was sold by her biological mother in Mexico ten years ago. His daughter has blue eyes. And the murderous woman dealer also had very blue eyes and brown hair. Ray also asked her where she was from, and when Ray put a coat on...

      two kinds of justice

      Justice is done in two ways, the American police mentality and the Mexican one-size-fits-all solution. Although the young actor who plays his brother is a little immature in his acting skills, he feels strong and loves his family.
      "We are fucking gringos." Focusing on the small for the sake of the big picture, it could have been a good subject to make a film, but the film is not limited to this. Following the development of the plot, there is really an idea that makes people think that the...

      some feelings

      Veronica is what worries me the most in this film, since she was unfortunately kidnapped and got into the car. Before she fully understood and accepted it all, her painful journey was doomed.
       She has been standing strong, for her children, for her family. She's a good mother and she's willing to stand up for Adriana just because she's a suffering child too. I always thought she would be rescued and go back to her life again.
       Until she and Adriana tried to escape and were caught...

      If there really is a curse in the world, give it to these inhuman rubbish

      The Buddha told people that the experience in this world is a period of practice, and it is the cause and effect of completing the previous life. People should not harbor evil thoughts and cling to revenge. To explore, to be at ease, and to let go is the way to attain the Way.

      However, after watching this video, the anger in my heart has made me let go of all peace, reason, tolerance, and forgiveness. I hate those lackeys who use violent beatings to conquer others, and I hate those...

    Movie plot

    Adrian ( Paulina Gaitan ) was supposed to live happily in her hometown, laughing and running in the sun like other teenage girls of the same age. But since Adrian was forcibly taken away by two burly men who jumped out of a car, all the happiness has gone away from her, and only pain and torture have accompanied her. At the age of 13, after being kidnapped by human traffickers in Mexico City, she was taken to this underground world at...

    Evaluation action

    "Trade" is adapted from a documentary reportage in "Time" magazine, telling a true story of blood and tears, which is shocking. The film focuses on a vulnerable group such as minors who are forced to engage in pornographic services and buy and sell marriages. It boldly exposes the darkness of the real society and shows the courage of the director and his creative team. As a rare serious and sensitive film, the film did not show too...
