    The cover of the West African edition of Lonely Planet, I thought I couldn't go anymore. Fortunately, the French responsible for the old colony, combined with the Malian army, drove away the rebels. Although the movie is a bit out of focus, it is smart and beautiful and reveals the absurd disaster brought here by religious...

    Saw it at the French film screening at the Swiss Elephant Museum. The director himself said after the screening that this was a documentary filmed like a documentary, and it was made by him as a social...

    Timbuktu, a West African city ruled by extremist groups. There, there is only silent sadness... calm movies, cruel movies, and finally, the little girl runs away desperately, but how far can she...

    interesting! Curious! The beginning is full of praise. Although the multi-line narrative is the original intention of the director, it still feels a little lacking in general. There are cultural barriers in many places. For example, what is going on with that person who looks like a goddess? Did not understand. After watching this film, I finally understand the fundamental reason for the emergence of terrorist organizations: Islam does not have a religion like Christianity to explain the...

    No scoring. Islam has too many cultural contexts that do not belong to the Chinese: authoritarian politics, animal husbandry economy, local warlords, madman religion...I dare not judge the right or wrong of these Islamic lives easily, and even think that it is easy to judge the outside of the camera with the camera. The current state of affairs is right or wrong. This mentality belongs to the arrogance of the second world audience, although it is deeply and powerfully filmed. The image is...

    In addition to the extremely strong perception of foreign life, it also allows us to see a lot of suffering in the world and a lot of injustice in the world. How can we master life, learn green religion, change the world, and turn our own interpretation into God's...

    Review Timbuktu Timbuktu

    Mali Timbuktu, under the control of religious extremists, is persecuted by jihadists all day long. "Half of the country has been occupied by invaders." Women bear the brunt. By telling the stories of Kidane, Fatima, their daughters Toya and Issan, and their small farmstead, Abderrahmane Sissako...

    Timbuktu: Life is far more brutal than the movies, isn't it?

    Timbuktu is located on the southern edge of the Northern Sahara Desert, on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Niger River, a famous river in West Africa. According to the romantic saying of the ancient nomads in West Africa, the Sahara is not a desert, but a "land and sea", and Timbuktu is...

Timbuktu quotes

  • Omar: Satima?

    Satima: I'm listening.

    Omar: I'm Abdelkarim's driver. I have a message from him: "He can't do anything to help. It's over".

  • 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?
