      Foxtrot, standing still.

      Chemistry, biology, and physics study the laws of the world and break through the boundaries of nature; psychology, sociology, and neuroscience study human and society, control human behavior, and grasp human life.

      The development of science makes people believe that there are solutions to all problems, that hard work can overcome obstacles, and that reviewing history can avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future. In the face of criminals, we pursue the reasons why they...

      The universe is a beast and I'm just its slave

      A movie with a unique style and a very wonderful viewing experience.

      The director's inspiration comes from his own personal experience:

      My daughter was late because of snooze and missed the school bus,

      As a result, the school bus was attacked by terrorists, causing more than 10 casualties.

      So the core of this film is an old Chinese saying:

      Misfortune and fortune depend on it, it is a blessing not a misfortune, it is a misfortune that cannot be...

      Making a movie can not only win awards, but also possibly die

      Movies can't change the country, the country itself can.

      Warm reminder: This film is too twists and turns, just like life, it should not be spoiled. Those who have not watched it are recommended to read this article after watching it.

      After filming [Foxtrot], director Samuel Maoz won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

      Foxtrot

      The story of the film comes from the incident experienced by director Samuel Maoz and his daughter. Samuel Maotz drove his daughter to school every day because her daughter never got up on time, a bad habit that broke Samuel Maotz's heart. Samuel Maotz told his daughter that she should take the bus to school like everyone else. One day, his daughter took the No. 5 bus to school. Half an hour later, Samuel Maoz heard that a terrorist had set himself on fire in the No. 5 bus. More than a dozen...

      Can't be spoiled. Samadhi is characterized by the pursuit of the ultimate. This kind of extreme is not just a three-stage closed loop that returns to the original place, but every stage is installed with a suspense + depression + manic image style, specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sections 1 and 3 are compressed in the room, close-up of wounds and expressions (similar to the hole in section 2). Stage 2 of the wilderness exile stage seems to be far away from the battlefield, but...

      Forward, right, back, and back, the foxtrot of fate is constantly reincarnated, the dead come back to life and then die, and hope after despair perishes again. The fate of the country reflects the unease and deep-rooted anxiety that the country has nowhere to...

      The allegory of fate cannot be saved, and the narrative of the gossamer is irresistible, and the cowardly middle-class main perspective of the ectopic suppresses the ridiculousness of the environment. The foxtrot and the moment of silence in the second act can be completely independent and contrasted with "Waltzing with Bashir". One was on the edge of the pond where the moon rose, and the other was where the incendiary bombs fell. There was so much despair. Another tiny...

    Evaluation action

    Although "Foxtrot" does not have the extreme narrowness of a tank, it is a three-scenario narration. With the changes of the protagonist, from the parents' home at the beginning, to the rare desert post where the soldier's son is stationed, and then back to the background of the home, it can be regarded as a certain A nearly closed or semi-closed space in this sense. The director's control over the space is still top-notch. An...
