China: Utopia or Dystopia? I Investigated

bald and bankrupt

Nov 1, 2024

China...what is the truth? Some say it is the future, a utopian world. Some say it is the opposite, a total dystopia where the buildings crumble in your very hands and food is cooked in oil strained from the gutters. I finally got my visa and went to investigate, and what I found surprised me. Maybe it will surprise you too.

Judge not lest you be judged ...

Coming from even you that's a bit strong.

So, let me be judged.

Yes, it is harsh.

Hollywood has been a vector for for reality contamination.

The utility of great actors is distraction, entertainment and blurring reality for unremarkable intellects.

Here is the appropriate theme song for "great actors".

KEEP IT QUIET

A veterinarian hides her depression.

Corey is a veterinarian who lives with her grown daughter and works in an animal clinic. She also is suffering from severe depression, which she struggles to keep hidden from her family and friends.

She navigates many small but cutting indignities and challenges as she looks after everyone but herself. But soon she reaches her breaking point and contemplates the worst.

Written and directed by Yaya, this powerful, thoughtful short drama tackles the weighty topics of depression and suicidality as its main character struggles to conceal her mental health struggles from the world around her. Many narratives tackle these issues, but this short offers a unique angle, grounding its story in Corey's quotidian reality and dramatizing the efforts to hide it.

Many performances of depression portray it as sadness or listlessness, but Schwimmer's portrayal -- and the gift of KEEP IT QUIET -- gets at a fundamental truth of depression. More than just sadness or "feeling down," it's profound loneliness, isolation and hopelessness. It also portrays how easy it is for people to hide it, and how many people around someone with depression simply don't pay attention enough to notice it. Yet ultimately this concealment only leads to more isolation, compounding the psychological weight until it gets unbearable. Corey reaches that point, but the film's unique ending foils her attempt, offering a much-needed catharsis for both Corey and the audience. Facing the depth of feeling within, there's finally space for some fragile hope -- and gratitude for the strange interventions of fate.
