穿越国境

电影的前半段还是挺不错的，基本上交代了每一个移民者的处境，每一个也合情合理。后面的交代感觉没什么意思了。犹太人蒙混过关，澳大利亚美女遣返，中东小女孩被遣返，我以为她要真的搞自杀式袭击了，墨西哥妈妈死在寻子路上，韩国人被伊朗帅哥救赎，但是伊朗家族一家即便都已经入籍了，但家族依然保守。

可能电影只是想客观的描述真实世界里最常见的结局没有啥象征。但是观众看来是想入美国籍，要不就是有钱，要不就是运气爆表，美国不养穷人，不讲亲情，没有言论自由，即便入籍，伊朗人还是伊朗人，保守家族还是看不惯美二代的潮妹。

这就对了，本就没有天堂，无论到哪，物竞天择的自然法则也不会有变，美国更加如此。至于要说这样对不对，那自然不符合我们社会主义国家公平正义的价值观，为什么美国能成为其他国家和地区人民想要移民去的地方，在疫情后时代，如果你还认为是他制度先进，科技发达，其他地区的政府不作为，那只能说各有各的世界观了。

想起姜文的北京人在纽约，作为移民主题的作品，可能更能让我们看到中国人在那个时代的欲愁酸楚。

Although these people have their various flaws and dark sides, these negative aspects make them appear more real. They are just some people like you and me, trying to pursue a better life by immigrating. In any case, in exchange for the legal residence of the “Great World” pass, they are struggling between moral and immoral, loyalty and betrayal, hell and heaven, and desperation and justice.

Here comes an interesting question: is person a person? When you are born, you are British person, American person, Indian person, Chinese person, etc. If we remove the label “American”, you are just a “person”. If we plus “America”, you have an extra credit to mark yourself. However, at the same time, you are also one step far away from the essence of “person” which can be divided by the nation labels. The conflicts between religious traditions and moral liberation, economic protection and cheap labor force, integrity police and corrupt officials are all happening under the US national flag. Perhaps the country is only a concentrated expression of all these contradictions. Either people choose coming here or leaving here, they are just choosing something called “hope”.

The United States is a place where many people want to go. Before they get the green card, everyone has to worry about being forced to leave someday. While looking for jobs, salaries, medical cares, etc., whether or not you have a green card have a huge disparity. At the end of the film, the lucky people who vowed to become new citizens of the United States under the giant Stars and the Mexican female corpse who died on the road of smuggling formed a series of shocking and contrastive pictures. At that moment, I felt my body is trembling. I realize that freedom, vitality and creativity will only be fostered in a tolerant place, and only an open society can be confident, attractive and cohesive. Please don’t forget that immigrants have always contributed to the prosperity of US powers. If the Statue of Liberty is their last spiritual belief, please don't let these people who worship her devoutly become the sacrifice and die in the path of pursuing their dreams.
