Plot "Seven Prisoners" movie commentary copy
The black pony lives in a poor village in Brazil.
The only thing of value in the house is the two dilapidated huts.
In order not to let his elderly mother continue to work hard
Pony decides to quit school and go out to work.
After being introduced by a distant relative
To find a job in São Paulo, more than 600 kilometers away from home.
His mother squeezed out a month's living expenses for the whole family.
Bought him a new dress.
Xiao Ma was very distressed
Vowed to work hard.
Save enough money to go to college.
When relatives came to pick him up in their van
Sincerely said to the old lady
From now on
just wait for my son to send money home
Enjoy yourself.
After saying that, she also gave a large deposit.
But the family never dreamed of it.
The pony went there deprived of his freedom.
Living like a slave.
Maybe you have to ask.
Was he cheated by a pyramid scheme?
No.
Pony's family was poor.
What's there to cheat?
The one he encountered is much more powerful than a pyramid scheme.
It's the infamous human trafficking
The name of this film is
The Seven Flashers
Together with Xiao Ma, he went to work in Sao Paulo with his friend Dasan from the same village
and the fierce-looking Da Qiang and the green hat wearing Xiaowei
They were all very excited
With dreams of making a fortune
They talked all the way to Sao Paulo.
Soon they were dumbfounded by the prosperity of the big city
And the unforgiving reality was about to smash their dreams to pieces.
A relative's van took them to a closed scrapyard
They were never seen again
They were greeted by an unpleasant-looking owner
Luca.
Luca first took their IDs on the pretext of registration
He also gave them four US dollars for a nice meal
The four of them felt that the boss was quite good
So they worked very hard
According to Luca
They had to deal with seven truckloads a day
All of them were cables and aluminum alloys from unknown sources.
Two of them were responsible for stripping the cables.
Two are responsible for picking up aluminum and scrap iron.
Although the work is very tiring
The day is quiet
But the strange thing is
A week passed quickly
The Luka did not mention the money once
This day, before lunch was over
The goods came in a hurry.
Luca ordered them to work again
The pony couldn't resist and asked
No pay or no work
Because the relative had said
The work is paid by the truckload
Now they've done more than 40 cars.
but have not even seen a steel store
We are not here to do charity
Who wants to work for nothing?
The other three also agreed
Once the conversation was over
Luca was furious on the spot
He scolded these people for not knowing what they were doing
He started to calculate
Transportation, advance, food, accommodation, etc. to Sao Paulo
The cost of tools, etc.
Each of them still owed a lot of money to the others
They don't want to get paid even if they don't pay their debts
Isn't that a pipe dream?
Xiao Ma was very angry when he heard that
When he came here, he was told that he would receive food and accommodation
Now this is not a clear trap
Turned his head to leave the place
But the fat guy at the door punched him and he fell to the ground
Luca said again
Work hard and pay your debts.
Then he confiscated all their cell phones
The four teenagers were scared and angry.
It seemed that it was not so easy to leave.
At the end of the night, they figured
The monthly debt was more than the salary
This calculation is not the usual outrageous
It is outrageous
There is no more work to lose money
What the hell is this job?
Quickly roll up and leave
But when they got out of the dormitory, they found
The door was locked.
There is a barbed wire fence on the wall
There was no way to get out
Xiao Ma went straight into the office to find the key
The result was caught by Luca
And he was threatened with a gun.
Until the money is paid.
None of them would escape
Then they were locked in the dormitory.
They lost their freedom.
And no contact with the outside world.
The four teenagers then realized
This is not a debt payment
They were sold by traffickers
Because traffickers are always the same way
Deprive them of their freedom first
Then make them take on huge debts so that they can be enslaved
The fierce Big Jon was the first one who didn't like it.
He proposed to sneak up on Luca tomorrow at work.
He would steal the keys and escape.
But the pony disagreed.
He had a gun in his hand.
If we do this recklessly, people will die.
We must be wise.
So how do we outsmart them?
The next day
A truckload of goods had just arrived and opened the gate
Xiao Ma instructed Dasan to pretend to faint
Then he called Luca to come and check
Prepare to take advantage of his lack of attention
With a stick behind the sneak attack
The result is that this Lucca see little weak look panic
He was aware of it
A stick missed, but was not knocked out
The four of them ran out of the house at the right time
But just before reaching the door
The fat man who was watching the door with a gun drove back
Only Da Qiang took advantage of the chaos to escape
The door was close by
But there was no way out
Xiao Ma felt both powerless and desperate
But what happened next
They knew what real despair was.
The two policemen brought Big Qiang back to Luca.
They punished him with a plastic bag over his head in front of him.
They also gave all four people their home addresses
and threatened that if they escaped again
Each of their parents or siblings could die.
How shocking that was coming from the police.
The four teenagers were scared to death
The police and the bandits
Where could they escape to?
From now on
From now on, Luca deprived them of the right to brush their teeth
The right to take a shower and even the right to have dinner.
And of course, not even the freedom to move around.
It was all work and no work at all.
It was like being a slave.
Even the pigs in the pigsty don't live as hard as they do.
Except for suffering in silence
They do not know what to do
And so it was.
Two weeks passed
Finally this day
Da Qiang couldn't stand it anymore.
He suggested that the four of them kill Luca and Fatty together
To escape
As long as those two were dead
Then no one would threaten their families anymore
Besides, they were four against two.
They have a good chance of winning
People are pushed to a certain point.
What else can they do but take up arms and fight back?
Xiao Ma thought about it but did not agree
Because Dasan and Xiaowei did not dare to take the risk
If the other side shoots
They would definitely die.
Besides, even if they killed Luca.
How to deal with the police officers who are all snakes and rats?
What about their families?
So he came up with a solution that was not a solution
To negotiate a deal with the traffickers.
Hoping to get them out of here after they pay their debts
So the ponies approached Luca and said
They were willing to work twice as hard to pay back the money
Ten carloads a day.
They'd pay it off in six months.
In the meantime.
They won't make any more trouble
And they won't neglect their work.
It's just that when the time comes.
I hope Luca keeps his promise.
To give them their freedom.
Luca was very surprised.
It was the first time that someone who had been banned had come to negotiate.
After a little calculation
And agreed on the spot
Because when the time comes, it is his decision whether to keep his word or not
Besides, as long as these people don't cause any more trouble
And can make more money
Why not do it?
So the two sides so happily settled
From then on
Xiao Ma has become the big brother of four people
Supervise the brothers to work hard
Strive to pay off the debts as soon as possible
Leaving here
Luca also took a different look at Pony
He began to test the boy to see if he was sincere in his work
Or was he trying to do something behind the scenes?
So he asked him to go out and buy cigarettes for himself
Before leaving, he threatened
If he wanted to escape
Think of his mother and two sisters back home
Xiao Ma didn't dare to think about it
And he didn't dare to do anything rashly
Can only honestly go out to buy cigarettes back
For obedience.
Luca even rewarded him with two cigarettes
For a long time afterwards
Because they did a good job.
And they didn't make any trouble.
Luca basically acquiesced to their recreational time and bathing time
This day
Suddenly a labor commission came to inspect the work.
Luca immediately told the other three to hide in the car
And told the pony not to talk nonsense
Then he greeted the inspection with a gun in his hand
The message was clear.
If the pony spoke out of turn.
He would kill him.
The inspector looked around
When he saw four black mattresses
asked Xiao Ma if the boss here had mistreated his employees
Xiao Ma could only lie and say
The boss gave them all the money to buy new mattresses
Very attentive to employees
After this lie
Luca trusts Pony a little more
Sometimes he would throw the key to him to open the door
He even took him out to do some work
For the first time in a long time, he went out on the street
Looking at the free people
Pony's heart is very uncomfortable
This time he went out
Luca took him to buy three more slaves
And also really saw the black chain of human trafficking
These people are from all over the world
Some were working people.
Some were smugglers.
Some were tourists.
Some are even kidnapped directly.
There is an underground factory with female workers like this
They all had the desire for help in their eyes when they saw strangers
But they couldn't go anywhere.
They had to live under the gun of traffickers
They were sold and sold.
Luca picked two more women workers to sell to a nearby gang.
To make some money.
But as soon as he opened the car door
One of the three male workers he had just bought ran away
Pony immediately chased after them and subdued them
Caught back again
See here
In fact, I personally do not understand why the main man to do so
The same end of the world fallen people
Capture others back
Just to further gain the trust of Luca?
Let's read on
Luca was very surprised
He trusts the boy a little more
He even sent him to the mob to hand over female workers
And brought back the difference of 3,600 dollars.
When the pony returned from the sale of the women's work
Luca was on the phone.
The car also did not turn off the engine
This was the perfect opportunity to drive away.
Pony wanted to run but was concerned about his family
In the end, he didn't do anything.
Luca saw that he was doing well.
He decided to give him a reward.
He asked him how much money he wanted.
The pony said in a hateful voice
One and a half
Luca immediately laughed out loud
It seems that this child is also greedy
But the greedier he is, the better he can control it.
He gave him $180 straight away.
This is also the first money the pony
The first money he'd ever seen.
Back at the scrapyard
Da Qiang saw that Xiao Ma had brought back three more male workers for Lucca
He thought that Xiao Ma had become Luca's lapdog
He knocked him out with a wrench
When he woke up.
Luca let him live in the office from then on
and warned him
Don't ever go back to the dorm again.
Those guys will gouge your eyes out.
Because Luca had seen too much of that.
So the question is.
Why was Luca so nice to the ponies?
Obviously
Luca needs someone to manage the others
The pony is certainly the most suitable person
It's like when an invader takes over a place
They like to find one or two locals
To offer them good terms
Let them manage the locals
The advantage of this is that the locals are of the same origin and easy to manage
It is also easy to divert conflicts
So the oppressed people also tend to hate traitors more
But Xiao Ma didn't want to do the work of a traitor
What he wants
He wanted to take some of his buddies away from here
When he has saved enough money in the future
to go to college.
Luca was very angry
Said if you don't want to do it, someone else will do it.
You want to be free.
But what is freedom?
Is it going back to that dump of a home of yours
Or starving all day with your mother?
Why not follow him
Make a lot of money and change your life?
Do you stay and be his sidekick
Or go back to the dormitory and suffer
The choice is entirely up to the pony
It can be said that this set of carrot and stick brainwashing rhetoric
directly subverted Xiao Ma's world view
Let his heart's beliefs began to waver
But he thought about it for a long time and finally did not go back to the dormitory
For one thing, he was afraid of retaliation from the newcomers
Secondly, he was still under the illusion that if he listened to Luca
Maybe that's the only way to get Luca to keep his six-month promise.
The next day
Luca saw that he did not leave.
directly gave him the key to the gate and the pistol
Made him the overseer. Assign the other six men to work
With a gun
Isn't it the best chance to rebel?
But Xiao Ma didn't do that
Da Qiang sarcastically said that he finally became someone's lapdog
When he became a scorpion, he started to take on people
Xiao Ma tried his best to justify that
The reason he was so obedient
is to get the opportunity to fulfill the promise of Luca in the future
Anyway
They will definitely leave here
What they're doing now is a stop-gap measure.
In fact, unknowingly
Xiao Ma has been isolated by six people
All half-heartedly believe in his words
Because no one was sure
In the future, after paying the debt, Luca would let him go
Xiao Ma returned the gun to Lucca before he knew
This was another test.
There were no bullets in the gun.
After this test.
Luca trusted him more
From then on
Pony's life has been very comfortable
He also had access to a cell phone and could contact his family at any time.
The first call he made was to tell his mother that he was safe
But his mother said on the phone
They had received a huge sum of money
It was $720.
Enough to build another house
They were very happy.
Hearing this news
The pony realized that
Luca really wanted to buy him off by sending the money
His mother's words also tipped the scales in his favor
That night
Luca even took him to the bar to rock out
and said with the strength of alcohol
If you stay with him
The future will be better and better
The two of them were like close friends
They hung out all night.
Early the next morning
Luca came back to the scrap metal factory still drunk as hell
He fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
The gun and keys were right next to him.
This was the best chance of escape ever.
Pony thought long and hard about getting his family involved.
In the end, he didn't do anything rash.
Because of all the sweetness.
In fact, he was not averse to Luca.
He even enjoys the feeling of working with the boss to make money and to enslave others.
It is said that all people are born with slavery
Slavery is not only obedience to superiors
It also includes slavery to subordinates
And he did not know that
The honey and stick brainwashing technique
It's the basic operation of human traffickers
On this day
Pony followed Luca to the big boss' party again
It turns out that above Luca
There was another big man.
This big man is a high-ranking government official
The big man's business involves all kinds of things
The iron scrapyard is just a small part of it
Because of Luka's excellent performance
The big man decided to promote Luca to another position
In the future, another bearded man would take over the scrap iron factory
Inadvertently
Big brother and pony chatted a little
Then Pony realized
Why the police also listen to them
In this country
They can't run anywhere
Eventually they will be caught by this huge organization
And will go to hurt his family
The big man also said
Luca is a very capable general.
Just blow the whistle.
He would respond immediately
And gets things done very well
After saying
Whistled a whistle
Luca responded immediately
Just like calling his own dog
The ruthless Luca is just a dog of others
After this party.
The pony's wavering heart
finally gave in
Fighting with such a big power
It's like fighting with heaven and earth
Can we beat them?
He asked Luca with his last hope.
After those people pay their debts.
Can they leave?
Luca didn't answer anything.
The answer was obvious
Even after the debt was paid
It was impossible to be free
He still told the pony that
You're lucky.
boy
Because pony is the first person who dares to negotiate with him
He's also very capable
He's leaving the scrap metal factory next week.
If you really want to make money
Follow him and go with him
Or else
Stay in the factory with the other six people to continue to stay
Xiao Ma thought about it for a long time
As the saying goes
Can not change the rules
Then join them
Back to the factory again
He just opened the door
Fellow villager Dasan ran out
He immediately ran after him
Dasan called him a dog
He was so angry that he almost choked Dasan to death
In the end, he acted as if he was making a confession
He took Dasan back
The best friend became a stranger from then on
The look of hate to eat him
When Luca saw this scene
Immediately arranged for his men to go to Dasan's house
And told the pony to warn him
If he ran away again
His family would have a series of accidents
This is what happens when you confront a human trafficking organization
In the end
Pony also became a member of the organization
Followed Luca and left the scrap metal factory
When he was leaving
Dasan asked Xiao Ma for a cigarette
And then burned the pony's body severely
This scar will stay with Xiao Ma for the rest of his life
Become his heart forever pain
This is the end of the film
If we talk about the most poisonous industry in the world
There is no better industry than human trafficking
I'm sure you're all familiar with this topic.
This film is about the enslavement and exploitation of male workers.
In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the human trafficking industry.
The trafficking of women and children is truly appalling.
But that's not the focus of this film.
The focus remains on crime in Brazilian society.
If the police and the thieves are in cahoots.
Then is the judiciary in this society functioning?
Crime and corruption are spreading here like seeds.
Rooted in the hearts of every person born and raised here.
How to eradicate this persistent problem?
It is the most important topic that people need to pay attention to.
Of course, this movie also tells us
Boys go out.
Be sure to protect yourself.
Well, that's it for today's movie!
Thank you all for watching!
I am XX
We'll see you next time.
