Ghosts

Saw Ghosts yesterday in Espoo Ciné. Don't know why, really. It scored 7.5 in IMDB. I didn't like it one bit. It was based on a story of a chinese woman (played by Ai Qin Lin) who took a leap to the unknown thinking life would get better. She came to Britain as an illegal immigrant, paid a horrible price of 25000$, got shitty low paid jobs and lived in a shit-hole with dozen other illegal immigrants. Life was wonderful. Some immigrants were captured by police but she and some others went to seaside collecting scolloups. Soon they realized they could only work by night. Then came the tide and the lot of them were stranded on the roof of their vehicle. As waves came higher and higher, they decided to swim ashore. Twenty-something chinese drowned and even fewer ever got back to their families in China.

In the end of the movie, it was stated that many Chinese families were struggling to pay the debts of travel expenses and that England wasn't willing to lend a helping hand. So? Why the hell should they? I wouldn't. They (Chinese folk) came to England illegally and got jobs with forged paperwork. They got into trouble and they are now wondering how to pay it all. So???? That's the risk you take.

If I wasn't so bored with the movie I might've gotten angry. I hope the twelve euros we paid to see the movie didn't go to the Chinese families.
