On the afternoon of May 6, the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards held an online award, which set a precedent for the award with helplessness under the influence of the epidemic.
With 19 awards, "Young You" won 8 awards and almost all of them.
In addition to best movie, best director, best screenwriter, best cinematography, etc., it also includes Zhou Dongyu winning the best actress and Yi Yanqianxi winning the best new actor.
On the occasion of May Fourth Youth Day, the speech video "Back Wave" of Station B brushed the screen of the whole network, and "front wave" and "back wave" became popular words, triggering a tidal wave of hot discussion, lyricism and broken thoughts.
After Zhou Dongyu won the Golden Statue Film after the Golden Horse Film in 1992, Yi Qianxi in 2000 started with traffic and sat down as an actor, and people like them are undoubtedly "back waves" and the tip of the back waves.
But I'm actually more concerned about the "front wave."
"Uncle Uncle", which tells the love story of two elderly men, won the best male lead and best supporting actress, Zhang Daming won the best supporting actor with "Mai Luren" after 60, and Huang Qilin's "Jindu" won the newly promoted director and the best original film music, but unfortunately, these three Hong Kong films are not currently seen by mainland audiences.
"Zheng Xiuwen running with him" has also been brushed on Weibo hot search.
"Houlang" says that "the beauty of gentlemen is different from the republic / The young body can tolerate more diversified cultural aesthetics and values", and according to the eyesight, the young generation of the motherland has shown that the rice circle culture is investing, raising funds, opposing black, accusing and commenting, tearing up wars, and reporting, which is the "Youth has you", "Creation Camp", "The Name of the Youth" and other talent shows objectively promote eating by face meat and relying on the fan economy to debut, we can do nothing about the intergenerational gap on social networks, and can only hope that the "back wave" will become the "front wave". Self-correction by age and experience.
Although the speech video is aimed at the "back wave", the forwarder is more of a "front wave".
The "front wave" to the "back wave" may not be able to dilute the estrangement and reach an equal dialogue, but may instead stimulate mutual suspicion and form a tsunami.
I think of a movie I like, "I Am Black."
Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2016.
Ken Rocky, a post-30s director, also made a "Sorry, We Missed You" last year, which is also very good.
The protagonist of the film, Blake, is an old man, a widower who lives alone, childless under his knees, and a carpenter with 40 years of experience.
Blake was temporarily incapacitated because of a heart problem and almost an accident, he was ready to apply for an employment support allowance, but was rejected by the assessors, the conditions for initiating a complaint were very harsh, he was forced to apply for unemployment benefits instead, but he was punished for not being able to meet the prescribed behavioral requirements, and may be reduced to applying for special hardship allowances.
Blake does not know how to access the Internet, there is no computer at home, and smart phones, electronic resumes, video resumes are even more fantastic for him, he is a dying "front wave" on the beach, is a generation that is about to be abandoned by the times.
The developed countries of the West have always been known for their high welfare, and the people of the third world are envious.
"I Am Black" exposes the illusory side of British welfare policy.
Cumbersome procedures, protracted processes, bureaucracy, and quite unfriendly to those at the bottom.
To say that we strictly abide by the rules and regulations is actually inhumane and lack empathy; to say that it is to give relief and help is actually to artificially set up obstacles.
When the film tells Blake's story, it also strings together two other samples. One is Blake's neighbor, a black guy who imports counterfeit designer sneakers from China to make a difference in price in order to get out of poverty; one is Blake's help object, a young single mother with two children, Katie, who can't make ends meet herself but still helps Katie's family, but Katie still becomes a prostitute step by step.
There are high welfare traps in developed countries, and high welfare is prone to moral disasters, which is somewhat similar to the "big pot rice" that once existed in China, breeding lazy people, parasites and even cheating welfare, and the government often implements lazy government one-size-fits-all in order to control loopholes, contrary to the Marxist philosophy of specific analysis of specific problems.
Blake's perk application trip becomes a dead loop, and the government plays the trick of "dragging you to death", and he decides not to accompany him, because he believes that losing self-esteem is equivalent to losing everything.
He protested by graffiti on the façade of the welfare office, a move that drew solidarity from onlookers.
But can anything be changed?
The ending was sad, and when Blake's appeal for employment support allowance was about to turn around, he suddenly suffered a heart attack in the bathroom and died.
Blake's last words —
I'm not a customer, I'm not a customer, I'm not a service user,
I am not a lazy man, not a thief, and I am not a beggar thief.
I'm not a string of Social Security numbers, not a piece of data on the screen.
I pay taxes on time, not a penny, and I am very proud of it,
I do not bow to the powerful, treat my neighbors with sincerity, and extend a helping hand as much as I can,
I do not accept, and I do not seek alms,
My name is Daniel Blake, I'm a decent man, not a street beggar dog,
I hereby reclaim the rights that belong to me,
And ask you to treat me with respect,
I, Daniel Blake, am a citizen,
There is no extravagance, no compromise.
Many people have entered a year of confusion in childhood, and many people have reached the age of forty and still have a lot of confusion.
No matter how much the official emphasis is on "it is not appropriate to use foreign indicators to measure China's tax burden", our own personal feeling is that we just watch the tax payment, but the feeling of enjoying social welfare is not strong, and we are sometimes frightened by topics such as "pension balances will be exhausted by 2035".
Born as a human being, don't have to worry about whether you are a front wave or a back wave, because no matter the front wave and the back wave, there is always a time when you can't get up.
To talk about the most honest sentence in "After the Wave", I think it is: What you love is your life.
