A film that reflects human nature and government policy. Blake, an old carpenter at a sawmill, was taken off work due to a heart attack. He has no source of income and can only apply for unemployment benefits or employment support, which can only be chosen. If you choose unemployment benefits, you must show the government that you are looking for a job; if you choose employment support, you must prove that you can work. And he himself is ill and can't work. He can only get unemployment benefits by looking for a job. Even if he finds a job, he can't go to work. He can only look for a job. Applying to the government for relief, but also online application, he can only use pencil to write and draw the old man, this is a lot of trouble. In the process of applying for relief, she also helped Katie, a single mother of two with two children, who also needed relief. The end is a tragedy. After suffering, Blake finally got the opportunity to appeal, but died of a heart attack. This film shows the contradiction between a diligent and honest good person and a bureaucratic system, a person who really needs relief and a bad form of relief system. Through the film, I found that the relief system does not want to support "lazy people", and many people in the society are also disgusted by such lazy people who live on relief, but the design of the system prevents good people from getting the relief they need. question. Just like the government departments in the film, they strictly follow the system, and there is no warmth, which leads to the tragedy, and knowing that there have been similar cases before, there is no mechanism to correct them.
