      Beyond Borders--It's not Angelina's fault!

      After seeing the introduction of "Beyond the Boundary" in the tenth screening room, I was attracted by the humanitarian theme that flashed in it, and I immediately took a look on the Internet. However, I have to say that using "Beyond the Boundary" as a question is really not as good as using the Hong Kong translation of "When the Beacon Fire Spreads," because the humanitarianism expressed in the...

      Weird three views

      The ratings for this movie are very contradictory. On the one hand, one star is too much. On the other hand, I see that five stars are recommended, and I want to recommend it so that everyone can see it. I can't be the only one blind. The charity of this film is that the male protagonist drags African children and forces local rich people to donate money. Are you still in the mood to drink red wine? ! It's really unkind to the rich! The heroine takes the money and resources of her husband's...

      The need for empathy

      Last year, I watched a movie, "The Girl in the Morning", which was adapted from a true story. After watching it, I kept sighing how happy my life should be. The same feeling was produced after watching "The Kite Runner". I recommended them to a friend, but he bluntly said he wouldn't watch them. In his view, this feeling is built on the pain of others, and will soon disappear, and has no practical effect, and he does not need to see this way to get the same feeling. To be honest, I don’t...

      one life

      It is hard to imagine that such a miserable life can exist in a society like today. Humans are always selfish and pitiful creatures. When faced with the suffering of their own people, so many people still shoot at their own people, while those aid workers from other countries sacrifice their lives for the lives of strangers. Thank you to those who have contributed to charitable causes. Although you cannot save the world, one person survived because of your aid. Never give up your hope ,there...

      love and compassion

      Russell said that three simple and strong emotions dominate our life, that is, the desire for love, the pursuit of knowledge and the piercing pity for human suffering. There are two emotions that are meticulously and precisely displayed in this film: love and compassion.

      Love and compassion are intrinsically interlinked. Love is the sympathy of one person for another. Sympathy is a person's love for the species to which they belong. Nick's heart is huge. He has broad sympathy and...

      Such a long period of dull depression is the catharsis of love for the last few minutes. God! Director, you are too cruel! It's like a dream, it's like a world away, do you want to be so plain and suddenly there is a sudden burst of sadness, is this the pain of a sudden convulsion? However, why is it necessary to suppress for so many years, and why is it necessary not to say love. Looking up is already riddled with holes, isn't it? It's a pity that the director has too much foreshadowing in...

      When I watched it, I kept telling my roommate that one of Clive Owen and Angelina Jolie had to die. When it came to the end, I said that Clive Owen was definitely going to die. The result was that Angelina Jolie died. . Seeing this, Clive Owen said "I'm dizzy...". . . Hahahaha, as the saying goes, if you don't live, it's useless for anyone to save you. ....

    The film encountered many difficulties during the filming. In addition to frequent director changes, the choice of the leading hero and heroine was changed.

    Evaluation action

    The original intention of "Beyond National Boundaries" was good. It wanted to draw more viewers' attention to the refugee issue, but its motives seemed vulgar. Of course, there is more than one way to convey information. The film does show the refugee plight to a certain extent, but the focus is on the heroine’s extramarital affairs. The lead actors perform very hard and the film’s style is also focused on romance. Color, but it is...

    • Sarah Jordan: Why do you never say my name?

      Nick Callahan: Sorry?

      Sarah Jordan: You never say my name. Why?

      Nick Callahan: pauses - What's the first thing you do when you get a cold?

      Sarah Jordan: What?

      Nick Callahan: What's the first thing you do when you get a cold?

      Sarah Jordan: Uh... chicken soup, aspirin, scotch...

      Nick Callahan: You never just have the cold?

      Sarah Jordan: I don't know what...

      Nick Callahan: interrupts - Taken nothing. Just have the cold?

      Sarah Jordan: No

      Nick Callahan: No, and that's us, right? We drown it. Kill it. Numb it, anything not to feel. You know, when I was a doctor in London, no one ever said 'medahani'. They don't thank you like they thank you here. Cos here they feel everything, straight from God. There's no drugs, no painkillers. It's the weirdest, purest thing - suffering. And when you've seen that kind of courage in a li... - pauses, tears well up -... in a child... How could you ever want to do anything but just hold him in your arms? You remember that boy in London, JoJo?

      Sarah Jordan: Yes of course

      Nick Callahan: He was my first save, 10 years old. So thin he could barely stand. But he still found the strength the bury the rest of his family. We have no idea what courage is... He used to write me little notes. He helped me in the clinic. He was good. He was sweet, he was good. He wanted to be like me, I liked that. I mean, it was silly and childish, but it made me feel good about myself. So I took him with me to London, you know, my talisman, my courageous Africa... - pauses - How could I be so bloody stupid? How could I be so totally selfish? The point is... he was my friend. He had a name. So now I HAVE to remember him. If everybody I lose has a name...

    • Nick Callahan: You're not wearing perfume.

    • Sarah Jordan: Perhaps we are all refugees from something, but I see now there is nothing to fear, that the world we hold onto, the lives we cherish, are a part of something greater, something more. When I look at my children I see it so clearly, that hope, that chance of life, and I know it's worth fighting for.
