fight for the environment

It is rare to see Icelandic movies, and this one alone amazes me, and I have learned what it means to be unique. The technique is fresh, the bridge is humorous, and the story of such a radical behavior is told in a grotesque way. The director is a woman in war.

No matter what the starting point is, Hanra is short-circuiting power lines and destroying transmission towers. Her series of actions are crimes. But it seems that the director doesn't think so at all, and wonders if the wealthy Icelandic people are so tolerant.

Hanra is 50 years old, and environmental changes have had limited impact on the rest of her life. Therefore, everything she does is not just for herself, but out of a strong desire to protect the environment. This is the film that left the deepest impression on me.

In addition, now is really the time when all earthlings should pay attention to the ecological environment and fight to protect the environment, but we may not all fight in the same way as Hannah.

  • Halla: Economic sabotage.

    Ása: It's extremism, which breeds extremism. He who Jives by the sword, dies by the sword.

    Halla: But no one has been hurt, except our country and our planet.

    Ása: It's not the right way to solve this problem.

    Halla: Meditating in some convent, will that change something?

    Ása: It will change me and thus the world I hope.

    Halla: Isn't that egoism, to think it will change the world?

    Ása: The drop hollows the stone.

    Halla: The stone? The mountains are falling on us, we don't have time to wait for drops.

    Ása: Now you're going to save a child and the entire world with it. Isn't that a small drop or is it just vanity?

    Halla: At least I'm doing something for someone else.

  • Ása: You don't need anyone else. You know that you can do it. You're the mom and nothing will stop you.

    [stands up from the bench and faces Halla]

    Ása: Yes, say it.

    Halla: Moms can do anything.

    Ása: [laughs] No, the other thing.

    Halla: Find solutions.

    Ása: Exactly.
