    It turns out that Peter Watkins began to play the virtual reality magic of documentaries twenty years earlier than Abbas, and he still used it desperately on the subject of political dissent. Under the preset framework, amateurs or non-actors with backgrounds similar to the characters in the story play freely, so much so that even the director himself can't tell the difference between the real and the fake several times. The shooting of this film itself is a performance art. While pointing...
