Review of I, Daniel Blake (2016) by Yezo — 15 Jan 2017

The movie is great.

I have to say I wished I could write a review a lot earlier because it is released in Australia a lot earlier. (I might have worker out the website is run by American, and I guess the rest of the internet has to work with their time scale).

This movie demonstrates the great struggle for poor people. Not the fact that they could not get a job but they are struggle to find one. They have skills and they work hard but there are only so many jobs in the world.

And it highlights the (possibly) problems in the welfare systems. The frustrations of civilians working with government systems. The tedious nonsense 'regulations'. The desperate moves people have to do to stay alive in a city.

At the moment, the world is heavily overpopulated. The social welfare system could not run forever and this might happen to us very soon.
