The Spanish film "Beautiful Day" tells the story of a humanitarian aid organization in the Balkan war-torn area to solve the problem of water pollution. During the process, it encountered a series of obstacles. In the end, people's efforts were unsuccessful, but a heavy rain solved the problem that was difficult to solve. question.

In this movie, I want to tell the story of a fat man, a child, and a rope.

A fat man

movie opens. A group of people try to pull a dead fat man in a well. It's a real dead fat man. screen. This well is one of the three local wells, the only remaining water source that has not been buried in nearby mines, but a carrion appeared for some unknown reason, and the problem of water pollution is at stake. Members of the rescue organization set out to find the rope.

A child

rescue group meets a child named Nikolai. His basketball was snatched by several children with guns in their hands, and even adults were helpless in the face of the dark muzzle. This is a war-torn area, even if it's just for a toy, it can be solved with a knife and a gun. In order to preserve the child's last hope, the rescue organization promised that the child would find another basketball for him, so the child appeared with them on the way to find the rope.

Children are the soft underbelly of the war years, but they are used to seeing the annihilation of humanity during the war, and the children are less innocent and more indifferent. When those who made money from the war blatantly sold water to make money, Nikolai said casually, "Maybe they threw the corpses into the well to sell water." A child broke the darkness of people's hearts.

The basketball found in the ruined Nikolai's house fell into the hands of other children again, making the already desperate rescuers almost out of control. A strong man actually picked up a stone and wanted to grab the basketball back from the child. This hysteria was an exit for helplessness and despair after a series of helpless encounters where he was looking for a rope and was blocked from saving people. Surprisingly, it was Nikolai who sold the basketball to those kids, $10, in his hope of returning home to find his parents.

a rope

There is a rope in the store, and this rope is not for sale, because the rope is used to hang people or hang people. There is a rope on the flagpole, which cannot be used with the rope, because in war-torn areas, there is no flag, which means surrender. Dogs have ropes on their bodies, which cannot be used with ropes, because there is really no better way to control a mad dog.

In the end, the rescue group removed a rope from the body of a hanged man, Nikola's family. The rope, taken from the corpse, used for the corpse. However, the rope that had been found with great effort and the carrion that had just been lifted was stopped by the UN peacekeeping force, and the carrion fell into the well again.

In war-torn areas, the rope is always associated with death. The importance of a rope in war-torn areas: it is the rope of life, hoisting corpses to control water sources, cutting oneself or breaking others; it is the rope of faith, hanging the flag means not giving up.

The little boy in Syria has once again taken the media by storm. Children, with their ignorance and innocence, contrast the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

    The faint flashes of humanity in all kinds of helplessness, the progressive emotions, the little solution to the problem, the endless dilemma and the sudden solution, just like the last rain that caused the corpse to float out of the well. Another way of writing war is great.

    No.83 Several scenes are really embarrassing. War is the scariest thing in the world, it destroys everything.
