——Comment on "The Imminent"
"The problem is that our economic growth is slowing down."
Politicians treat the people as fools, and they want to tell the people that some people's life is about to become difficult. However, this is not their responsibility, or rather, they should not be made more responsible.
But the reality let John know right away that the economic problems these politicians who fool the people are talking about are very close to his life, because he himself is "some people" who the politicians say are going to be hard. The car John bought with a loan was repossessed by the bank.
"Poor and humble couples grieve for everything", this sentence is the same when it comes to the poor in the United States. The breakfast begins with Dini's rebuke and ends with a silent embrace. Rent, job, car, part-time job... The core of all problems is only one - money!
He was a good worker, but the factory where he worked had moved to Mexico, so he had to change to a job that paid much less than before.
He is a good husband, he needs money to support his family, but he can't find a part-time job, because the other party doesn't need so many people.
He's a good father, but his son Mike needs $250,000 for a heart transplant, and he doesn't have that much money.
Poor John was a good husband, a good father, a good worker, a good friend, and at the same time, a man of faith in God. But all this doesn't really help him solve the problem - money.
After selling his furniture, he doesn't even deserve to be called a homeless man, because the house he lives in is rented. He is utterly poor. His friends are also poor.
He tried everything he could think of, but time was running out, and poor John had nowhere to go.
Isn't the hospital supposed to save the wounded? Why is this society all about money? Do poor people deserve to die?
When doctors and rich men who only knew about money were joking lightly, John couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled out a gun and kidnapped the doctor, as well as several patients.
He's a hostage taker, but he's also a father who wants to save his child's life. He didn't want to hurt anyone, although he was desperate and angry. Who can he kill with a gun without a bullet?
The police are here.
What's the difference between a deputy director who chooses to negotiate and a director who chooses to kill? When the financial director of the hospital agreed to put Mike on the list, the deputy director thought with admiration that the other party's acting skills were really good, and it was a good way to ease John's emotions. It is nothing more than that the former cares about the hostages inside, while the latter only cares about his own seat. As for John's problem - Mike's heart transplant - no one cares.
But so.
Young people are mostly idealistic, they believe the doctor's oath. Therefore, compared with the chief doctor, the young doctor insisted that the hospital should not treat the poor and the rich differently, and it was wrong to just send the poor who could not afford medical expenses.
Why doesn't the government help the poor?
You see, everything is the fault of the government.
But in the end, in addressing Mike's heart, the film exposes the hypocrisy of its own moralizing.
In order to prevent John from committing suicide and save Mike with his own heart, a character was in a car accident at the beginning of the film and used her heart to provide Mike with the heart he needed for a transplant. You see, she overtakes more than once, so it's not a pity to die. Isn't this kind of person's heart used to save his life? Also, she voluntarily donated her organs. We don't need to bear the moral pressure of having John commit suicide.
The hypocrisy exposed by killing two birds with one stone.
One operation costs 250,000 yuan, and 300 operations a year is 75 million yuan. Therefore, the hospital earns too much. Is it really so?
Do doctors get paid? want. Does anyone want to be a doctor without a high salary? no. Should the hospital pay people? Do you want to pay tax? Do you want to develop? Want cost? . . . It
's not what John did.
Is there such a thing as profiteering in the world?
There is no such thing as profiteering in the world, and if there is, it is only because very few people enter the field. The profiteering provided the service, and the profiteering was what they deserved.
Of course, it is the responsibility of the hospital to save lives, but it is not free. If the hospital wants to operate, to treat and save people, it must spend a lot of money. But the hospital doesn't have money and money, and even if it does, it will sit on the mountain. What's wrong with charging for medical treatment and saving lives?
When the young doctor complained, the chief doctor shut up in disdain, which was natural. Good motivation may not lead to good results. Do young doctors understand this? I'm afraid I don't understand.
Let the hospital provide free medical services and let the government pay for it. This is probably a good way for idealists. But, while cheering the welfare, we should think hard - why did Poor John's factory move to Mexico?
The government does not create wealth, so the money the government pays for free health care is undoubtedly paid for in taxes. Taxed to whom? The answer is naturally the rich; how much is the levy? Naturally more and more.
Wealth is created by hard work. The gap between the rich and the poor needs to be done to make the poor rich, not to make the rich poor. Relying on the government to regulate distribution will ultimately result in the rich getting poorer and the poor getting poorer.
All the money-oriented market economy only talks about efficiency, not fairness. Is it really so? It is unfair to use money to measure, so what to measure? In other words, it is unfair for a society to spend money, so what is fair? Fight dad? Fight morality? Fight for power? Fight for looks? Fight age? Fighting from birth? Fight...
If we don't fight for money, what are we fighting for?
