I just can't tell

(Issue 107) Dayin Niche Movie Viewing Party

——"Scorched Earth City" 9

It's incredible, it's incredible, the first time I touch the story of the Middle East like this, the religious war, is cruel I can't understand. For the first time, I felt the most classic complex. Its occurrence is fate, which is both the end and the beginning. When you are hate, what you see is hate, when you are love, what you see is love. Although the end of the movie tells us to choose love, it still takes me a while to digest it before I can accept such a big love.

Excellent drama, inconvenient spoilers, can only say that you will be shocked after watching it! It is a movie with both plot and thinking

Some things are like this, life is just like that, it’s not clear, there’s no right or wrong, there’s nothing you can do, good fortune makes people, fate reincarnates, everything is empty, what you choose, what your world is.

    "Her" life story. After watching Advent and 2049, and then going back to make up, I understand that Wei Dao has been trying to tell the same story: find out where you came from, know who you are, and decide where you go. And that's what a person's life is all about. In addition to his signature sense of alienation, the switching between the two narrative lines is too delicate, turning the ancient Greek tragedy full of impermanence into a suspenseful story.

    The history at both ends is interspersed and arranged properly, not howling in the tragic, and not sensational in the moving, the director has a precise grasp of the degree of emotion. The ending arrangement has obvious meaning-war destroys the homeland, and the bond between love and blood is immortal. Only by wandering through the quagmire of history can the road to reconstruction be finally achieved. The overall strength is slightly inferior to "Waltz with Bashir". 4.5 stars.
