電影我是布萊克(I, Daniel Blake)榮獲第69屆坎城影展金棕櫚獎,描述59歲的木匠丹尼爾布萊克一生辛勞工作,因心臟病發作而失業、生活困難,打算向政府申請救濟補助,但卻因為規定繁瑣,而未能如願。期間他遇見了無家可歸、帶著兩個孩子的單親媽媽凱蒂,跟他一樣求助無門。心地善良的布萊克決定盡微薄之力盡量幫助他們,共同對抗迂腐的官僚及不友善的體制。此片導演肯洛區長期關懷人道議題,透過「勞工」的視角,帶領觀眾看盡社會制度及勞工資源的不公不義。
The sun, rising slowly above the coastal mountains, casts its rays upon the shoreline of Southern California. The Pacific Ocean is "glassy" and reflects the pink sky of dawn. A group of surfers is already in the water enjoying another successful dawn patrol. Shorebirds dart around in the foam of the receding tide in search of food in the sand.
As the sun climbs up into the sky, human activity increases. The thumping of volleyballs is heard as they are passed and spiked in friendly and heated competition alike. The asphalt paths that border the sands begin to fill up with in-line skaters, bikers, joggers, and others out for a stroll by the sea where dolphins are visible playing offshore, their fins gently arcing above the water's surface as they wander the coast.
As the sun climbs still higher, the air temperature heats up. It is now well into the PTH, Peak Tanning Hours. Groups of people stake out territory with blankets and towels. Their portable audio systems create an eclectic mix of sounds as one strolls the beach. Yet it all is dwarfed by the rhythm of the ocean.
