The movie I, Daniel Blake was quite a different film than the ones that I am accustomed to. I didn’t think that I would be very interested in watching a drama film, yet this movie experience was very eye-opening. As someone born into an affluent environment, it is easy to pretend that there isn’t poverty and the needy around me. Especially now at Cornell, in an environment with plenty of rich students, we so often not see those struggling financially. Watching the life of Daniel Blake and his friend Katie we the viewers are shown how hard some people need to work to provide for their families and really drove me to appreciate all that I have. All students should really see this film as it would change many of our world views and possibly even lead to reflection into our materialistic and status-conscious world.
