生来平等

Four characters living in one neighborhood in London - all living dramatically different lives, all of them on the edge - see their stories unfold.


　　---------------------


　　Born Equal started life as a film about homelessness but, as the director Dominic Savage embarked upon his research, a markedly different film began to take shape.


　　"When I began to look into the problem of homelessness, my sense was that there was a really big issue around people living in temporary accommodation for long periods of time."


　　They're known as the 'hidden homeless' because, although they've got a roof over their heads, it's far from being a home."


　　Savage visited a number of these hostels and met many different people who generously shared their stories with him - stories he says he'll never forget.


　　"I was struck by the diverse reasons why people end up in those places: a fall from grace, a relationship break-up, coming out of prison, leaving the Army, being a refugee. All of those different stories come together in this one place and, for me, that was the starting-point of the film."


　　One of the hostels Savage visited was located in London's Swiss Cottage, literally around the corner from a row of multi-million-pound homes.


　　"I knew then that one of the issues I really wanted to deal with was the extremes of difference in people's lives - and, in a place like London, those extremes can be experienced within just a few streets. People can be in hugely different worlds but sharing the same space.


　　"The film shows huge contrasts between people and how they live, their ideas, what they've got and what they haven't got," says Savage, who points out that although the film is set in London, the same contrasts can be seen all over Britain.


　　"In the end, what the film aspires to achieve is to encourage people to think more about others, care about the less fortunate and be more aware of what's going on around them."

每个人生来平等，但是这只是人格上的吧，不要妄自菲薄也不要过于……

没字幕只能理解个大概，最后的结局还是很有力量的，只是不懂那个大叔为什么突然就崩溃了。生来平等，也是蛮讽刺的。

生肉难啃(눈_눈)。挺不平等的，因为社会地位、经济收入、文化程度等等带来的生存不平等、烦恼不平等。挺平等的，所有阶层都有各自烦恼，所有阶层都难逃一死。挺黑的，底层末路之人发狂杀了刚修复好感情纠葛的中层阶级。生来平等这个标题在电影里着实有些讽刺意味了。

叔老婆这回终于没有跑掉，可惜自己却在结尾挂了||||||悲催啊~~

标题名为“生来平等”，故事情节却处处表现了不同身份阶层之间的不平等，或许只有像某叔的结局那样死了才能达到所谓的平等吧。镜头细节很巧妙，配乐也非常加分。

世人都犯了罪，亏欠了神的荣耀。中产阶级有着情感纠葛，底层人民为生存奔波，单身的母亲尝试重拾爱情却又被抛弃，流浪的人儿找不到归宿，只有自我毁灭。生来平等，只因都需要救赎。
