I told him this is not anyone's war

This is the type of movie I particularly like to watch.

War, an eternal topic.

Is it an inescapable shortcut to the advancement of civilization or a product of the expansion of desire for power.

After all, citizens are the most innocent.

Soldiers from two rival camps were injured and rescued by the old man Ivo, who was grateful for his promise. We can do the gentleman's way when we are in peace.

But the patriotism used by some people to die. When we are not protected and guaranteed by a country, to be honest, strong patriotism will only appear in textbooks.

It is a mystery that Ivo stayed behind. Did he love this land and refuse to leave, to protect his son's grave, or to harvest kumquats for his friend Margos alone, maybe even he is a hidden secret contact?

In fact, when Margos' house was bombed, I had a foreboding that the orange could not be picked, but I didn't expect the director to arrange for Margos to be shot.

Four big men, plus two groups of extras, make up the whole film. high.

The war condensed at the foot of the hillside is highlighted in small sights, with rumblings and explosions from time to time, and frequent gunshots. Life is to survive under the rain of bullets.

There is no obvious sensational expression in the whole film, but in the end when Ahmed left, only Ivo was left. Ivo, an old man, stood on the hillside of the graves of his son and Nika, watching Ahmed drove away, but he stayed alone.
Here is his friend Margos, his son, and Nika, and the loneliness of being alone slowly exploded on Ivo.

And Ivo’s daughter. Just a photo can make two soldiers so obsessed. It can be seen that the war restricts and twists people’s desires to a primitive state. In the process, they are still usually satisfied with the life that draws the relationship between the two young people.

I have watched a lot of war movies recently. There were local wars in World War II and the terrorist attacks in Paris yesterday. We may not be in them, but we have become targets.

    The prerequisite for watching this film is to understand the form of the region, Estonia, Georgia, Chechnya...I don’t understand all of them, so what I saw is just a very old-fashioned anti-war segment, like the one from Jin Yong’s novels. The scene, politics step aside, the grievances and grievances are resolved.

    Calm and restrained, graceful and moving.
