Pippi movie / A wonderful movie recommendation every day
Recently, the topic of "nationality" is always on the hot search, which has caused continuous heated discussion among the public.
From quietly publishing the account book to Deng Yaping’s ID card during live broadcast, and recently Lang Lang issued a lawyer's statement because of the nationality issue, it seems that it has become a commonplace to watch celebrities "broadcast nationality".
Faced with the celebrities’ responses in the voice of questioning, some people supported, some ridiculed, and some people just waited for things to develop further.
Why are the nationalities of these celebrities a target of public criticism, and why are we so concerned about their nationalities? Is this a fuss, has it overreacted?
Pico doesn't want to instill the principles for everyone. In the Korean movie "The Way Home" mentioned next, you may be able to find the answer to this question.
1. A woman abandoned by the country-"Song Jingyan"
. Her name is Song Jingyan, a Korean. She was arrested by the police while smuggling drugs in France. She was detained in a Paris prison and could not return home.
Song Jingyan originally had a happy and plain life. Her four-year-old daughter is cute and well-behaved. Her husband Jin Zongpei runs an auto repair shop, and her life is not rich but it is also good.
But an unscrupulous disaster ruined all this: Jin Zong Pei's friend Xiu Jae committed suicide with a huge debt, and Jin Zong Bae, one of the guarantors of Xiu Jae, did not expect that he would bear up to 200 million in debt.
The huge debt almost crushed the couple. They had to move and live in a cheap and rudimentary rental house, not knowing how to face everything in the future.
In desperation, Jin Zongpei can only ask for help from his friend Wendao. Wendao, who often runs the "international route", asks him to transport the mined rough stones back from Paris, and he can get a huge sum of 3 million yuan-but only if he must find Women do it. If
is replaced by us, this shining 3 million is definitely not a small temptation in such a survival dilemma.
Jingyan decided to take the risk. She went to France without telling her husband, but she fell into the net the first time she took the shot. She really responded: There is no pie in the sky.
Until then, Jingyan knew that the box was not rough, but cocaine, but she regretted it. Although
smuggles drugs without knowing it, Jingyan still has to accept legal sanctions, which is beyond doubt.
But because Wen Dao absconded, the main culprit in the case, Jingyan, who could not prove that she was an "unwitting crime" could only stay in jail, thinking hard for her husband and daughter at home, waiting for Wen Dao's return.
After learning what happened to his wife, Kim Jong-pei ran around and called the South Korean Embassy in France many times to ask for their help.
But the reality is that when Jin Zongpei on the phone begged bitterly, the staff of the embassy in France on the phone was enjoying coffee and delicate pastries, carelessly perfunctory and evasive. The most funny thing about
was that when the staff asked whether to properly arrange Jingyan, the consul rejected it on the grounds of “wasting state treasury funds”. What a justifiable reason
is simply irrefutable, but it is not the case. The consul is just afraid of trouble, fearing that this "drug trafficking woman" will ruin his own future. What he wants in his heart is to find the best Michelin in Paris for parliamentarians. restaurant.
After the expiration of her three-month detention in France, Jingyan was legally sent to the Martinique prison in the Caribbean Sea.
Warm yellow prison gate, bright blue sky, here looks like heaven, but to Jingyan, it is a hell darker than Paris.
Jingyan not only has to endure the cold eyes and bullying of the female prisoners, but also the unkind look of the abnormal female prison guards. Because of language barrier, she can only survive a long day with letters from her husband and photos of her daughter.
This humble and weak woman seems to be abandoned by her country in the depths of this Atlantic island...
2. The consul's words are like a knife
"The Way Home" is not fabricated out of thin air, but based on The real events in South Korea in 2004 are modeled on, which undoubtedly makes people feel a sense of heaviness derived from reality. Most of the time in the film
feels like a knife in the throat. Compared with the anger at these officials, it is more of a sense of powerlessness of ordinary people.
We saw one letter after another being piled up in the cabinet, we saw that important documents that should have been used as evidence were thrown into the shredder and turned into scraps, and we heard Jingyan kneeling on the ground with confession and Begging.
But the high-ranking officials can't hear this, can't see it, they only have money and money in front of them, only the cup of steaming coffee in front of them.
It wasn't until this matter sparked discussion on the Internet and the TV station began to intervene. The officials who were usually calm and relaxed did they panic and suddenly thought of the woman who was kept in the isolated island.
At this time, Jingyan left the prison to live in a dilapidated apartment on the island after being arrested for more than a year, but her living conditions are getting worse due to lack of security.
The most annoying thing is that the Korean Embassy does not even help her find a translator. Jingyan in the situation is like an outsider, unable to reach effective communication with relevant departments, and the case can only be delayed.
When the consul went to check on Jingyan's situation, he did not think about how to calm the emotions of his compatriots, but mocked and sneered with a superior attitude.
You know you are not blessed. Others want to travel here. Why don’t you practice Zen in this room to keep your soul quiet? Consul
's words were like a soft knife inserted into Jingyan's heart, causing her to be more desperate, who was already suffering and difficult, and eventually committed suicide. Fortunately, her life was saved in time.
What is the country?
"Family is the smallest country, country is tens of thousands of families"-this sentence from the lyrics of "National" may be the best explanation of this word. The
country is like the strongest shield for thousands of small homes. Its existence is not to provide privileges for some people, but to allow everyone in it to be safe and happy.
But have you ever wondered what it would feel like when the country you love deeply gives you indifference and exclusion. When you are bullied by others and suffer hardships, not only does it not help, but you fall into trouble.
In Lao She's masterpiece "Teahouse", the troubled Chang Siye said, "I love my country, but who loves me?"
was in China, which was deeply mired in war and turmoil. This sentence of Chang Siye is the epitome of the fate of countless people, but who would have thought that the same thing would happen in South Korea, which advertised as a "democratic country" decades later.
is the so-called "upper and lower effect", as large as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, embassy, and as small as the police station. When these national public servants who should be "responsible for the people" only care about their own fame and fortune, one can imagine how chilling the citizens should be. . In the
film, when the consul was interviewed on TV, he talked about his concern for Jingyan, and Jingyan's situation at this time had nothing to do with him.
However, under Jin Zongpei's continuous questioning, the consul wailed, and the sanctimonious false face was stripped away in front of the sharp blade of truth.
Yes, Jingyan did violate the law because she chose to smuggle money; but because of her unintentional mistake, she didn't deserve the protection of her own country, so she would suffer all her life and torture it?
When Jin Zongpei burst into tears and shouted out to the indifferent officials, "Isn't she a citizen", this was not only a soul-piercing torture for the officials, but also for the country.
Real stories are more cruel than dramatic movies.
3. Watching China today from "The Way Home"
With the help of the TV station, Jin Zongpei was able to come to the small island to meet his wife, whom he hadn’t seen for two years. The two strolled on the beach of the Caribbean Sea and remembered ten years. When they got married, they agreed to take a vacation in the Caribbean on their tenth anniversary.
After ten years, the wish was really realized, but in such an absurd way, the pleasing scenery is full of the silent pain and sadness of the husband and wife.
This is the most heart-wrenching scene in the film. Originally, this was not a complicated incident. It only requires the relevant departments to follow the normal procedures seriously and responsibly, and nothing will happen later.
However, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs took it seriously, and the embassy ignored it. Their indifferent indifference made this very difficult, leaving a family almost destroyed.
Although Jingyan finally returned home and was compensated, it was not because of the government, but by the help of ordinary people who were as unknown as them.
While trapped abroad for these years, South Korea’s "passport" was left to Song Jingyan without warmth, only the eyes that made her despair and crying red.
While watching this movie, Pico couldn’t help but think of another Chinese movie " Red Sea Operation ", which was also based on real events. This group of commandos went through the bullet rain and attacked and ambushed, risking their lives in exchange The safety of Chinese compatriots.
In the film’s prototype event—Yemen evacuation in 2015, China hurriedly dispatched troops to evacuate all citizens safely, and also took away more than 200 foreign nationals stranded there.
Looking back at the United States, it just evacuated all its troops from the local area. As for the local American nationals, they can only show their hands and say that they cannot help their evacuation. Behind the
evacuation incident, what we feel is the temperature that a country really should have. The country attaches importance to the safety of all its citizens, rather than throwing them away and kicking them around like a ball.
Especially in the current epidemic, we can undoubtedly feel this better.
When groups of overseas students and overseas Chinese returned to China, the country did not shut them out because of the "epidemic", but provided them with assistance and support as much as possible.
See the true love at a critical juncture, as Wu Jing once said in an interview, "A Chinese face and a Chinese passport are the passport to the safest area."
Being an upright Chinese, it is the country that treats everybody. The expectations of a citizen protected by it.
However, in today's China, I have secretly changed nationality, but for the sake of my future fame and fortune under the banner of the Chinese to cover up, such a contemptuous story, don't we see too few?
's behavior of "bathing nationality" is just to dispel the public's doubts. This behavior is understandable, but Pico hopes that dissemination of nationality will not become another way to attract traffic, and become a tool for making money and attracting eyes. Then all this will be nothing. Any meaning.
Finally, Pico wants to borrow a sentence from the documentary "From <中国> to China" as the end of this article.
"Today, here is still full of contradictions and full of vitality."-This is China today, a China we are proud of.
