Another corner of the world borders hell

Another corner of the world borders hell. This is an extremely sad story. I still remember that Syria was frequently searched in April and May last year. Looking at the pictures of the ruins of war, I thought that this was something that happened only in the last century. Today, in the corners of the world, it is still happening all the time... There is really no real empathy in the world. Compassion is only human nature. A wish for world peace will not liberate those people and children living in hell. . The greatest kindness of human beings comes from themselves, and the greatest malice comes from themselves. After watching the movie, I really realized that some people are more difficult to live than to die... A 12-year-old child, constantly fighting with his own destiny, but lost to his destiny again and again, no one to protect him, on the contrary, he needs to do his best Do your best to protect the people around you... There are really too many tears, and some pictures are even unbearable. It is a kind of inner torment. Even when I strongly restrain my emotions, I still can't control the tears. And while watching the movie, every time I see Zane's strong and resolute eyes, it reminds me of Xiao Ming in "Nobody Knows". He never cried once, and he has such determined and strong eyes. When I first paid attention to this movie, I heard that Capernaum is a place name in the Bible, so I learned about it on Baidu. It mentioned that Jesus once said: Capernaum, you have ascended to heaven, and you will be cast down into hell in the future. I think that thousands of years ago, this was the center of Jesus' ministry, and its historical status soared. Now, because of war and poverty, it has become a hell. In the field of literature, the word is used to express the meaning of "chaos" and "disorder". At the beginning of the film, children with fake guns and smoking in abandoned houses confirm that this is a "chaotic" social environment. The film is carried out in flashbacks, straight to the point, and Zane sued his parents. As the judge's inquiry progresses, the sad story gradually emerges. The age needs to be identified to determine. A large number of shots depict the current situation of such a group of children's lives. The film seems to be told progressively from three levels: family-class-society. family: The 12-year-old little adult in a poor family brought his younger siblings to street vendors, working as laborers in grocery stores, unable to receive education... The life of poverty and hardship did not overwhelm Zane, he was still grasping the glimmer of life, eager to be accepted Opportunities for education, when the younger sister has a physiological response, he is caring and caring like an adult, and the words and deeds that worry that the younger sister will be sold by her parents when they are found, tell the audience from the details that this child who has been baptized by life has been baptized. I am well versed in the world. If the audience is brewing tears for the audience, then the eleven-year-old sister was forcibly sent away by her parents to marry. This moment broke out... When I saw this, I couldn't help myself. The emotions of anger, sadness, sadness, and helplessness were intertwined. To be honest, my tears were actually very high. I have watched a lot of moving movies, but at this moment Did not hold back. The epitome of survival of the statusless class: Zane, disappointed with his parents, fled and wandered alone, and the glimmer of life gradually disappeared. After meeting a mother who gave birth out of wedlock, hope was rekindled under the brief company. That time should be His happiest days, although he often thinks of his sister and tears. If the previous movie described the struggles of children from poor families, then this one describes the life of unidentified people at the bottom of society. When this strong mother was arrested because her fake identity information expired and she was unable to buy a new identity, since then Zane's brief "happy life" came to an end, and she couldn't say anything about the existence of a child, otherwise the child would be taken away. Zane once again has to play the role of an adult, taking this young Yunas who is under a year old and can't even walk to survive in this society, and encounters whether it is bread bought by well-meaning people or curious strangers. questioning, he is always defensive and vigilant, even arming himself with a tough attitude and tone like an adult, the original has a few minutes of scenes depicting the lives of Zane and Yunas in this part (somehow cut out , maybe the picture is too sad and depressing)...Zane once said to himself: "Did she ignore him? I didn't expect his mother to be worse than my mother"...Faced with food shortages and drinking water shortages, Zane seemed to have failed again in the face of fate, and the little girl he met by chance told him to smuggle The matter of "heaven", his yearning for a new life and a new future seemed to rekindle his hope again. The smuggler either asked him to sell Yunas or spend his own money. He chose the latter. The prescription drugs he cheated at the pharmacy were used to make drugs, so the addictive tramadol prescription drug mixed with water and made into a drink to sell to addicts was the only way of survival her mother taught him to deal with the most dangerous social groups, alone One person looked into the mirror and trained the lie that he was a Syrian refugee in order to receive relief supplies. At this moment, I actually felt that the living environment of a local Lebanese was not as good as that of a Syrian refugee. The mature little adult who talked to the material staff to get the supplies looked like, look With the image of him pulling Yunas to sell drinks and being beaten, the tears he accumulated broke the bank again... While he was still painting colorful visions and immersed in his longing for a better future, the next thing was even more cruel. The house was locked by the landlord, and everything was thrown out, except for the things that can exchange for a new future for him (the money was wrapped and hidden by him, the landlord should not know, but did not take it out)... How can life be cruel to him? ? Let him bow his head and accept the arrangement of fate... The disappearing landlord defeated the helpless 12-year-old boy, and Zane finally couldn't bear it. He decided to throw away Yunas, but after several decisions, he still did not give up his heart, and the indifferent passerby Baby kids on the streets seem to have become commonplace. In the end, he believed that Snakehead would give the child a good life, so he sold the child to Snakehead (he probably also considered that he could no longer take care of Yunas, and at the same time Snakehead's hypocrisy also successfully deceived him), after returning home When they took the smuggling identification documents, the parents could only beat, scold and expel their son who disappeared and reappeared. The failed parents vented their dissatisfaction with the hardships of life on Zane. Through the words of the father, they learned that this was the case. It is also a tragic refugee family without any status... Facing such treatment, Zane is still strong and makes people want to cry... But when he learned that his younger sister, who was under 11 years old, had died, he was completely lost in despair, grief and anger. Take a knife to stab the husband who seems to be 20 years older than his sister... Chaos and uncontrolled social phenomenon: Do not pay attention to solving real social problems, but perform condolences, is it to paralyze oneself or to create false beauty in this desperate living environment? Zane watched blankly from the side; for those who knelt down and recited faith, Zane also sat indifferently. Faith does not need to face reality. These people choose to escape, but they cannot change the reality they are in. "When God takes something from you, he will give you something else in return" "God has given you something" "I'm pregnant and you're going to have a brother or sister" "I'm not feeling well" "I hope It's a girl, we call her Zaha" (the name of Zane's dead sister) "Beast" "When you get out of prison, she'll be walking and playing" "Don't come again, you're so ruthless" Finally, the mother thinks The baby born in her womb was a gift that Jesus gave her that was lost and found, and in Zane's view, it was just the opposite. At this moment, he realized that he had to stop this vicious cycle. nightmare. "I want to sue my parents, I want adults to listen to me, I want people who can't raise their children to stop being born, I just remember, chains for children, belts for whipping, pipes for beating, the most tender words I've ever heard are "Fuck you son of a bitch", "Fuck off you rubbish", life is a pile of shit that's cheaper than my shoes, the hell I live in here, I'm like a pile of rotten meat, I thought we were born He is a good person and is loved by everyone, but God doesn’t want us to be like this, he would rather we be dishwashers.” At the end of the film, the wicked parents make a justifiable defense, crying and criticizing that this is what caused all this. Society, they are also victims, enslaved slaves. Can't understand, and will never accept it. When they have uncontrolled births, they don't realize what's wrong with them. On the contrary, children are only used by them as a tool and helper for survival. No amount of sophistry of incompetent parents can change their behavior. It's bad, Zane's accusation is not incompetence, but can not do, do not good. Throughout the movie, Zane is expressionless every time he sheds tears, so what's the point of laughing if he can't even cry? In the whole film, he only laughed twice, when Yunas was blowing out the candles on his birthday and when the identity certificate was filmed at the end of the film. The first time he laughed was when he thought his new life was about to start, and the second time was when he laughed. Really usher in the beginning of a new life. In the end, it was revealed that the Zane family were refugees from the war in Syria. Whenever I talk about Syria and the war-torn Middle East countries, I hate the U.S. government that provoked the war and said "freedom, democracy and equality". There is hell under heaven, I hope those main battles provoke Syria

    So sad and so desperate. what is happening at this moment.

  • Jerrell 2022-03-25 09:01:14

    There is no physical space, the space has not been established, such as a scene of robbing a woman on the stairs, the space level is chaotic. There is no narrative depth, and the purpose of criticism appears at the very beginning. The characters only move towards the established route, and there is no possibility of bifurcation in the process. The dynamics of all conflicts in the narrative are imposed, so the emotions of the characters cannot be seen through the hand-held camera. Passing, can only be imposed by the soundtrack. Without a real environment, the director's understanding of sound is a disaster. In one scene where the protagonist is looking for a job, the time-space transformation has been completed visually, while the ambient sound continues; in another scene, the close-up and medium-level scenes are constantly switched, and the dialogue sounds are always at the same weight. The scenery has its own holy light, and more often it has only symbolic meaning, and the aerial photography does not have any positive effect on the environmental structure. With neither depth nor power, it would be a crime to stuff this film into the main competition.

Capernaum quotes

  • Zain: Your words pierce my heart. I no longer want to see you. You're heartless.

  • Zain: I want to make a complaint against my parents. I'd want adults to listen to me. I want adults who can't raise kids not to have any. What will I remember? Violence, insults or beatings, hit with chains, pipes, or a belt? The kindest words I heard were get out son of a whore! Bug off, piece of garbage! Life is a pile of shit. Not worth more than my shoe. I live in hell here. I burn like rotting meat. Life is a bitch.I thought we'd become good people, loved by all. But God doesn't want that for us. He'd rather we be washrags for others. The child you're carrying will be like I am.
