Is conscience overpowering money? Or do banknotes trump conscience?

What else can we do about the evils of capital and financial capital flowing under globalization, other than outrageous? In "Rainwater Crisis", Daniel told us in the image of a racial and subaltern allegor - in the face of the robbery of capital, to change the situation of the oppressed and enslaved, in addition to struggle, it is still a struggle.

The Indian Daniel travels through the two time and space fields of "ancient" and the present, playing the roles of ancestors and self that refer to each other, but the two roles have the same destiny, and both of them bear the blood of the invaders all the time. Plundering, but the current plunderers are disguised as democratic governments and global capital. They use various ideological coatings to dress themselves up to be gentler and more "civilized", so as to kill more without blinking an eye and kill them invisible. Just like Daniel's hoarse cry to those in power: "What else do you want? You want us to pay for water, do we need money for sweat and rain from the sky? Air is also taxed?

" Generations of never-ending oppression, choosing to stand still and be a lamb to be slaughtered, has never been in line with true humanity. True humanity is very simple—where there is oppression, there is resistance. For the sake of water, in order to strive to live, people united and organized, forced the looters with tears and bloody struggles, and won the right to live and the dignity of the bottom. More importantly, the struggle of the Daniels, as a great "fight for survival" humanity's struggle, also won the respect of the producer and won his final help at the risk of death. The white producer who started the film with money above all else, went down to save Daniel's daughter after the political crisis in his place, with his conscience over the money. Perhaps the film director's shadow is being cast on the producer, reflecting the director's "white conscience" and his moral anxieties.

Interestingly, many of the characters in the film have formed a huge reversal before and after a political crisis caused by water, and in the tension of this paradoxical reversal, everyone, and their own participation. There are mixed contrasts in the roles of Columbus - the actor of Columbus, who changed Columbus's domineering, in the final riot and crisis, chose to stay and gave precious water to those who were oppressed and slaughtered; and the role of great and loving The young man of Father Casas, who is the incarnation of sympathy and conscience in the role, but outside the role, when the crisis comes, he prys the stage and chooses impatiently to escape.••••••It is very likely that the film is written in this way. In revealing, conscience, conscience, it is because of such unreliability that it appears so precious.

It was Daniel who did not reverse, and he was fighting as always. Because of his race and class, he may never escape the fate of being exploited and robbed, and he is a sober allegor of race and class, and he knows that the struggle will never end, "For people like us, Trying to live is what we do best.”
