The night before yesterday, I finally got a little tired of the unconventional World Cup, so I calmed down and found a serious movie to watch.
Russia is really a magical country, they can drink vodka and dance with bears, and they can reflect on society so nuanced: cold, desperate, critical of reality, so real that people can't bear to look at it.
The film opens from the inside of a dilapidated building inhabited by a group of desperate underprivileged people whose lives rotate among alcoholism, quarrels, gambling and domestic violence. Suddenly, the heating pipes in the dilapidated building burst.
Jima, a plumber, came over to check and found a more serious problem. The foundation of this building is slowly collapsing and crooked, and a gap has been cracked in the building. Jima has been teaching himself architecture, and in his professional judgment, the building, which houses more than 800 residents, will collapse within 24 hours. He began to run to stop this impending disaster. Through some connections, he found the mayor of this small town, as well as the relevant ministers, and persuaded the other party to come and check. These people admitted the reality that the building was about to collapse, but in the face of human life and interests, those people made more cruel choices.
Jima's father, an ordinary Russian worker, worked hard all his life, neither stealing nor cheating, brave and kind. But he is out of tune with the whole dirty, corrupt and insensitive society.
He inherited his father's character, his mother scolded him for not being a person, his wife complained about him, and the only one who could understand and support him was his father who was marginalized and dying.
The plot of the film is reversed several times, and each time with the rotation of the camera, the plot will fall into a darker situation. Jima's original intention was just to save the residents of the dangerous building, but it gradually turned into a fight of a group of politicians. Those politicians who were still praising each other's merits and touting each other's merits, instantly tore their faces, shirk their responsibilities, disregard their lives, and even get angry. .
We are very familiar with these scenes. They are the same people under the system, and they are equally cold and cruel, which shows the commonality of human nature.
A good movie is all-encompassing. In Dangerous Buildings and Fools, we can see the influence of society on individuals, the education of fathers on their sons, the despair of wives on their husbands, the ripping off of managers to the people, the pitiful and pathetic insensitivity of the people at the bottom, and so on... ..
The situation in Russia is worth thinking about. The bald head who really controls the mayor said: "If it were distributed equally, we would all starve to death."
I don't believe that any country is inherently noble or mean.
In fact, it is very simple. When a person cannot eat every day, there is no personality and nobility at all; just like the ferocity of the Japanese in World War II and the politeness of the post-war economic take-off, the reasons can generally be found in the economy.
Poverty and evil always go hand in hand.
Small people always resonate with me as a small person.
Ji Ma's boss, the old man, is an incompetent person. When Jima discovered the crack in the building, the little old man had been drinking heavily for three days.
And the cost of overhauling the house is that he embezzled, just a symbolic painting.
Hateful? This is a typical corrupt official in China.
As the movie progressed, the little old man and Jima watched the house that was on the verge of collapse, and admitted the truth after returning (he was the person in charge of the project, and if he admitted, he would inevitably be jailed, and in his heart, the lives of more than 800 people were more important. Bar)
However, the mayor, minister and other high-level executives, after calculation, found that they could not do a good job of emergency hedging for more than 800 people (the money was also pocketed), the little old man said in a hurry that it was the high-level instructing him to embezzle maintenance costs, and he must responsible for this. (The female mayor drinking and crying about embezzlement and giving more than half of the money to her leader is also a highlight of the show)
Unsurprisingly, the top management decided to get rid of the little old man, Jima and a minister who insisted on rescue. Under the icy bridge, the little old man yelled at the police: He's just a plumber, a fool, he didn't do anything, let him go!
If it wasn't for Ji Ma's report, he probably wouldn't have lost his life.
But why does he still save Jima?
Maybe he was a good guy too
After graduation, my mother always told me: be honest, be patient with injustices at work, and don't push yourself.
Of course I know my mother's heart to love her son. It is always difficult for a gentle and correct person to survive in this world. She just wants me to suffer less.
But we all know this is not right.
Just like in the early spring, snow and ice cover everything, if you want to turn the cyan of the earth, you can't just rely on a small grass, but without the first brave outcropping, spring will not come.
Some things make me weak
Love to read history
always gritted hatred
those for their own personal gain
people who don't care about their country
such a man
always appear
who can stop him
to always exist
