Islam is not actually a terrible religion. What is terrible is the hypocrites who use the name of Allah to enslave and persecute ordinary people. The director used beautiful photography and soundtracks to contrast the taboo life of the people of Timbuktu, Mali under the rule of extremist religious elements. And the desire for a better future of freedom....

The photography is beautiful, and it has a bit of film texture. The rhythm is a little out of balance, but it's not overly sensational, and the performances are more realistic. The absurdity of religion and the arbitrary actions of the "colonizers" are described in plainness, which is not a bad...

"Yambaktu" Mauritania is a religious film under the barrel of a gun. I don't have much language to express, but there are two things that impressed me a lot. 1. The terrorists did not hinder or punish the behavior of the crazy woman. , it can be seen that only the madman is free and cannot be taught. 2. When the chief of cattle was shot, he was not looking at the holy city of Mecca, but in the direction of his home. I feel this is very gratifying. When beliefs are distorted, should we really be...

I have to give three stars honestly, the look and feel is poor, although the last three people running and switching, lifting air football, etc. are the highlights, but I can't say that this movie is good. And after watching the movie, I want to ask why religious extremists have guns but the poor don't, and how did religious extremists and their reasonable existence arise? But it is said that the director is well-known in Africa, and this film has indeed contributed to the recovery of Yanbaktu....

The children who love football are accompanied by the strong rhythm of the music on the sand field, but there are only fake footballs rolling under their feet... The pictures in the film, and the cute Africans in the story, once entered their minds. Deeply inlaid. The power of this story of religious tragedy actually comes from the common humanity of the whole...

Sorrow of the Birds
On a chilling winter night in Chicago, see Mauritanian director Abderrahmane Sissako's film Timbuktu (2014). Timbuktu is in Mali, West Africa, at the southern tip of the Sahara Desert. In 2012, extremist Islamic militant groups occupied the city for several months; in 2013, French and Mali... -

the power of despair
When I downloaded this film, I saw that it was the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards. I was so curious that I had never heard of it. After watching it, I searched for it and found that it was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film. It was finally awarded to Ida. Seen....e

L'Imam: [to a jihadist] Stop this. You cause harm to Islam and Muslims. You put children in danger in front of their poor mother. You even hit the mother of two children without any good reason. Before you came, a woman was here to complain that you forced her to wear gloves-- here they are-- without convincing her of their usefulness, as is prescribed by Allah and His prophet. Remember the words of Allah the Almighty: "So pardon them. Consult them in the matter. Speak with them. Once you've made a decision, put your trust in Allah, for He loves those who rely upon Him." Where's leniency? Where's forgiveness? Where's piety? Where's exchange... exchange? Where is God in all this?
