The movie I watched this week is Angry Youth.
Watching a movie once a week is a recent practice, and after watching it, you must write something, although it is very unusual, but always have to write it. Just climbed the mountain today back, and ate half a watermelon, people are tired and supportive, really can't write anything, can only barely fulfill their commitments, simply make it up.
The narrative of this film is very simple, a main line tells the day of three young people, but the problems discussed are not easy, and the problems of racism in France, the problem of social class solidification, the problem of abuse of power by the police, and the problem of young people who have no future and have nothing to do are gradually moving towards violence. The film opens with the police abusing violence to trigger a riot march, and three young people appear on the screen as associates. The three people are friends and immigrants, living in poverty, have no way out, and are discriminated against by society in peacetime, which is more concentrated in this day. The most radical of these, Vince, even wants to retaliate against society with violence, and finally puts down the Q he holds because of his friends' persuasion, but dies of violence at the end of the film. Three people have different personalities, but they will inevitably end up with the same end, because this is a problem of the whole society, not one person and a few people can change.
The film was released in 1995, and when the time spans 2020, we go to see the story that is happening in the United States now, which is simply a reproduction of the movie. The same immigrants who have been killed by the police who abuse violence have also triggered riots and are also rooted in social racism and other issues. More than twenty years later, the so-called civilized people's progressive Western society is still a mess, and racism, like a cancer, seems to never be solved. Is it the only way for modern society?
I think the reason why racism arises is because of the mobility between different races, leaving their homeland and going to other people's homes, occupying other people's living space and resources, and the contradictions have gradually intensified, which in turn has created the problem of racism. But why do ethnic flows occur? Because of globalization? This may be part of the reason, but the root cause, I think, is the imbalance in the development of the world. If the whole world is at the same level of development, mobility is only flow, and there is no such thing as occupying others. Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of racism, in addition to all kinds of political correctness, the key is to develop, especially those underdeveloped countries and regions, but this is possible to solve in the long run, or even can not be solved, this is not only for economic reasons. It is conceivable that racism will continue to exist worldwide for a long time.
There is a very interesting scene in the film, an old man in the toilet inexplicably told three people a story of being frozen to death because he got off the train and did not catch the car, which was inexplicable and very symbolic, which was very interesting.
