Behind the war and religion is the struggle between human nature and destiny---a different anti-war theme "Scorched Earth City"

The distortion of human nature by war, the imprisonment of freedom of thought by religious belief, the anger of vengeance, and the fate of wrongdoing. The director focuses on the big picture and writes from the small, taking the 15-year civil war in Lebanon as the background, and the life experience of a ill-fated and indignant mother as a clue, opening up the territory of religion, culture and history in the Middle East. The three major themes of love and hate, life and death, war and peace are all concentrated in this dusty past. The director asked the audience to watch the plot from the perspective of God, but the audience was still shocked by the truth of the ending. Don't read the spoiler, Respectfully sink down and enjoy this amazing work by Denis Villeneuve. The play was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards. The whole film presents various death scenes in war and conflict in an objective and calm way, without cool actions, exciting soundtracks, or hysterical performances. The real, unadorned naked presentation is even more shocking. You get a sense of an ideology that is totally anti-American blockbuster.

    Recently, I have become more and more fond of watching the works nominated for the annual best foreign language film, and there are many excellent works. The ending is a little weak, but overall very good!

    "Silence is all truth. And the best thing is to be together." Three nights, falling asleep several times in the middle, but the story is always fascinating. About war, religion, killing, faith. How tangled and twisted this woman's life has been. It's too important to watch the spoiler without being cheap before watching the movie, and the thrill of opening Gu at the end is quite shocking.
