An emotional film that could have been very good, was disturbed by the king of the north

Let's give three stars for now, but not to the King of the North... to Ash and Kate...

Ash and Kate are a college couple, Ash is a Mao-sect second-generation Muslim immigrant who has received British education and living habits, Kate is a female college student, Indulge love to play.

Ash was originally a good young man, but a little left-handed, and Kate was a bad girl, but she was never radical in her thoughts, and finally wanted to get married and start a family.

After making out, Kate said to Ash, I'm still here with Auntie, I'm not pregnant, are you relieved? "I'm a little disappointed," Ash said.

Ash is recruited by a militant group, and the anger and impulsiveness in his heart defeat their feelings. Ash's long tolerance was defeated by the instigation of nationalism, and the two young men parted one morning.

A few years later, they meet again, and time has changed, Ash is a capable leader of a terrorist organization, and his experience and training have made him ruthless. Kate is a small clerk in the office, and her relationship work is unsatisfactory. The two young people met in a coffee shop on the corner of the street, long time no see.

Ash left Kate on the phone and called on a frustrating afternoon. The unease and fear made Ash dial it up and down, and the throbbing and nostalgia made Kate dial back.

what are you doing lately? I just go around. How about you? I don't feel good about work. So the two walked together again. Ash's heart has been shaken, and Kate seems to have a little hope.

One afternoon they met at the bar again, Kate confessed to Ash, and Ash disappeared on the other side of the bar.

The fire of hope of the two young people went out at the same time again, just as the fire of their love ignited at the same time, Kate was sobbing in the bathroom, and Ash was going crazy to detonate the bomb on his body. Ash was shot and fell, and Kate was lying on the bed.

Really like that terrorist said, Ash? like cigarette ash? In their eyes, Ash is just a chess piece that bounces off a piece of soot, and will soon be replaced by a new brainwashed youth. Only in Kate's eyes he is the unforgettable knot.

In the whole film, I feel that their emotional scene is the real drama, and I really want to skip the stupid shootout scene of the King of the North.

Things could have been different if Kate had accidentally become pregnant with Ash's child. I'm a little disappointed in Ash's sentence...sadly.

The only consolation for me is that Ash recorded a video at the end explaining why he blew himself up. At least Kate would know that Ash wasn't leaving because he didn't love her.

    The plot is a bit pretentious, and the humanized description of ASH does add a lot.

    Although the plot twists, it is still old-fashioned. The last scene is worth watching. Brother Xiao is very manly.
