I'm reading a lot of reviews that say this is a movie about the "cruel human nature" and blah blah blah. That is just the type of cheap misanthropy and conformist discourse that allows our governments to start wars and exploit other peoples. This film has a clear political reading and has more to do with capitalism, the accumulation of resources and the creation of poverty and conflicts. It also makes a very recognizable parallel with the treatment that Western societies give to refugees from disasters or wars. It is not "the cruel human nature", it is the neoliberal conceptualization of life as a competition, with no possibility of mutual support or cooperation. Great movie.
