Reality education given by film

A very realistic work. Pay attention to the increasingly serious religious and ethnic issues in the European pluralistic society. The environment in which we grow up seems to be inaccessible to such issues, so this work is more educational. First of all, how Islam is integrated into non-Islamic countries is a question of the management of different religious institutions (non-Internet and Internet religious education) between different sects, between fundamentalists and forces for change, religious education for young people The specific measures of the people need to be discussed. Even the differences in social status behind different factions have become a point of concern.

For some education that can affect a person's life, we can't help but reflect on when, what content, and what boundaries are appropriate and respect for a young person. The exchange between different cultures never ends with fusion as the final happy ending. Being assimilated means losing something. Whether it is religion or the three cardinal guides and five permanent members in traditional culture, they are all extremely restrictive existences. If we live in modern China, then perhaps we will have a deeper understanding of this crisis. Contemporary Chinese culture is more inclusive and less inclusive, so we are less likely to encounter similar problems. Therefore, the film has a greater practical educational significance. When will inclusion really come? When everyone has the freedom to choose their own life, have the opportunity to realize themselves and obtain happiness. History has given people a burden, but people should choose what they think is right. When heritage, responsibility and freedom collide, personal sacrifice and desperate bravery, which one will we choose? The reality is never simple, between the two, we can only try to find a balance.

The male protagonist's radicalization is not entirely due to being misguided, having a broken family, internal discord, and the fact that the older brother does things he can't understand (this is what led to the fundamentalists finding him, which to some extent It is the protagonist's family "destiny"), all of which deeply stimulated this young man. He doesn't laugh anymore, it's extremely impressive, he thinks all the time, but, in the end, goes to extremes. The education of people is fragile, and the education that people cannot kill each other and love others has not become the bottom line of the protagonist who is no longer young, but is easily broken through. The salvation of people is full of estrangement. The native French may never be able to understand the confusion of the male protagonist. Even discussing the meaning of the scriptures only touches on the origin of the extreme. The suffering of the male protagonist is a microcosm of an era and a society, and this society Honorable laws, this understanding does not exist under the welfare system. In the end, this extreme also became a castle in the air, which was shattered with the landing of the male protagonist. He's just a kid who went astray, he loves people too, he loves his family, he's not far on this road, so he wakes up.

As the film comes to an abrupt end, everything is left to the audience to think about. There is no background music in the whole film, almost all of them are close-up tracking shots, giving people a sense of oppression, making people always close to the hero, to feel his emotions, his breathing, the hero does not need narration and monologue, The audience will understand by themselves, and I think this is also the genius of Master Dane, but sometimes, the beginning and the end are a little abrupt, which makes people feel at a loss.

In the end, the young Ahmed did not become a martyr and did not become a tragedy of social problems in this era. This is the greatest blessing, and it is also the director's intention. Otherwise, if we are pessimistic, it may be difficult for us to see this film.

It is because he is young that he will take this path.

And because he was young, he finally said sorry.

For the teacher, for the mother, for the people he liked, for his classmates, family, for his god, for himself, for the shared value of life and human beings.

    The Danes are the opposite of Kenlodge, and Young Ahmed is too simple to believe. For me, the biggest problem with the film is not the lack of dynamism in the story, but the lack of power in its images, which really cannot touch my emotions.
