What have you been through, what have you endured?

What we see is the experience behind each individual, this is their life, their story, we, as a third party, follow the director's vision, and gradually discover where the so-called humiliation comes from. We have never considered what other people have gone through. We tend to stand and talk without backache. We are self-righteous and judge from the moral high ground. I believe that many people, like me, did not understand Hanna at first, and even spoke ill of him.” Isn't the humiliation of insistence the fault of his inexplicable self-esteem?" Even his wife blamed him, they didn't even have children, and they all blamed his inexplicable persistence. With the development of the plot, we learned about the past that he didn't want to mention, and under the shocking picture, we began to sympathize.

I think this movie is telling us the words "respect" and "forgiveness". It's simple to say, but people are "emotional animals", so rational and restrained, it seems that the experience of emotion is only a shallow taste. Less joy. Therefore, first of all, on the premise that our personality is respected, we try our best to understand those things that make us distressed and angry. We may be abused and treated unfairly, and we should really think about why this is happening, whether it's my problem or his problem, because we can't know that much about ourselves when we look at each other. He has no way of knowing what he has experienced and suffered. Indeed, some of our own characteristics have stimulated his painful memory. Of course, it is not our fault, but whether we can feel sorry for his unforgettable, tormented memory. sympathize with his memories and feelings.

When I was in high school, a dormitory with a very good deskmate had a conflict with another tutoring student. I had a good relationship with that tutoring student. I definitely felt the most intense atmosphere of tension every day. The quarrel also began. At that time, our roommates realized that the situation was not good, and then began to persuade. The roommate who was tutoring had a violent temper, but he soon softened. It was his personality that was easy to be impulsive. Calm down is actually a very small matter. We persuaded the two sides to acquiesce and let this matter pass. However, I must have found someone for the previous appointment. , I started scolding the person on the phone at the same table, and the mother of the other party passed away. Even if the two of them reconciled, the person at the same table would not let me say that he was going to beat him. At that time, I thought, what is this called? It was a very common conflict, but it made it complicated. Of course, we hoped to calm down. If it really happened, then the conflict between my deskmate and my tutor roommate would not be repeated. With something even more drastic, things are more complicated. The other party said that the roommate must apologize to calm down the matter. But now it seems that scolding the other party's deceased mother is a humiliation to him, and asking me to apologize at the same table is a humiliation to him. At that time, we really didn't stand talking and didn't have back pain anymore. Let me apologize at the same table, put up with it for a while, and it was calm, and it was the third year of high school. Isn't this kind of shit just affecting me? Late at night, we talked a lot, and finally the tablemate apologized, he cried, and I heard it.

After thinking about it a lot, was our approach really appropriate at that time? It hurt his self-esteem and touched his bottom line. We seem to be a little bit smarter, and it seems that when we treat one thing, the judgment of value has been biased. We don't know each other at all, we don't know what the other party has gone through or what they are enduring. In this matter, whether it is for the roommate or the other party, or another roommate who is tutoring, each of us is reckless and impulsive. Yes, it's all too self-centered.

Be more calm, more forgiving, and more respectful of yourself and others to get through this...

    In the end, the reunion was forced and deliberate. At the same time, wouldn't this still be a blackmail to the Palestinians. He could admit his guilt in public, but he would not apologize in public.

    First time watching an Arabic movie, thanks for the French subtitles. The French premiere, the director and the heroine are here. Personally, I still appreciate films that expose political contradictions and ethnic conflicts in such a dramatic and exaggerated way. The director has a great appetite. After the case was closed, the two looked at each other and smiled as if they had overcome all calamities. Unfortunately, the conflicts between ethnic groups could not be easily resolved. In the last scene, the group performance at the entrance of the police station is pitifully small. What about the state affairs-level contradictions?
