"House of Sand" was shown 15 minutes later. It was a movie that made people less confident from the name introduction. I don't know if it was worth watching. The result was unexpected, the audience applauded at the end of the film, and I burst into tears.
The introduction said it was a Brazilian movie, and it was in Spanish with English subtitles. Fortunately, there was not much dialogue. This is the Spanish movie with the least dialogue I've ever seen. Spaniards are always chattering. The film is silent and slow, echoing the slowly moving desert, the dunes that are always silent and silent.
The slender figures of the women became the most beautiful and strong scenery in this desert until the end. I believe that the director is a person full of great wisdom, using a piece of sand and two women to explore the meaning of life. In this dead desert, life does not seem to have any fun, and life is even more blank for young daughter Maria, from morning to night, doing nothing all day long. The mother struggled and wanted to leave for twenty years, and finally she was able to send her daughter away, so that even if she had an ordinary experience, it was life activation. However, after another 20 years, my daughter brought back the news that humans have landed on the moon. Humans have tried their best to exhaust the energy of scientists and the money of the government, but what they found is still sand... So the film brings a happy ending. Life has no meaning in the first place, everything is just in vain, but what the director conveys is not decadence and despair, but a touch of warmth.

    The specific feeling created by the desert in the film also makes an unusual impression of the development of the story, and it is a very interesting film in short.
