      Shi then the world is better

      Many times when many people face a problem, they put themselves in the position of a victim, and then they will not be able to swallow that breath or even take revenge. For example, boys who are bullied at school either choose to swallow it up, or choose to fight back in the same worse way. It is the best result that the big boy in the film does not retaliate after being counterattacked, but in reality this kind of revenge is often repeated wave after wave.

      Where is the better world?

      Today's lunch movie is "Better World", which won the 2010 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. After watching this film, I not only think that the title of the film should be called "Vengeance" to be more appropriate. Because in the process of watching the film, I kept asking myself where is the better world? Obviously, this film does not give an answer to a better world, but only leads us to think about that better world through the alternation of the two narratives.

      The film has...

      love child world

      Since it's an Oscar-winning movie, it's not an exaggeration to give it five points. In fact, it was really touching. I have always liked the children's characters in movies, and the simple world can always give people beauty. This is also not a film about children. From another perspective, rebellious children do not give me hatred but make me pity. The group of friends of motherless children and divorced children, whose inexplicable worldview is destined to have an unusual childhood. The world...

      Havnen - The world is best with love and tolerance

      The movie 2 years ago, I just saw it today, I have to say that it is a movie that shocked me, full of thinking about the world, it was an anti-violence movie at the beginning, and the friendship between the little boys A and B, A's The mentality of revenge, dissatisfaction with his father, and nostalgia for his mother made this little child at a loss. The father said that revenge, revenge, and war started like this. The little boy said that the first time you beat him down, the next time he...

    Movie plot

    The story takes place between two Danish families. It was a coincidence that two strangers met, and an unusual and dangerous friendship sprouted. What I didn't want to follow was loneliness, human weakness, darkness, and the choice between revenge and tolerance. Anton ( Micke ) is a Danish doctor who works in refugee shelters in Africa for most of the year. Anton’s wife Marianne ( Trine Dyrholm ) . They have two sons who have been...

    Evaluation action

    Susanne Bier, the female director, makes a story bloom two flowers and one branch, which makes people face the test in the cold and lonely Danish town and the violent sultan. The film finally gave a warm ending. The protagonists in the film are actually two teenagers. Their more emotional and less sensible instincts magnify the crime and punishment, love and hate of the adult world. The film is delivered through young people. Anyone...
