      Incendies--War And Religious And Ethical Issues

      I have to say that if the director's setting of the plot is not thoughtful, he will think that it is too much of a routine. It is designed in order to create incomprehensible ethical issues, but I don't know if this is the biggest rebellion against war and religion. Putting the most unreasonable situation in front of everyone can show the huge contradictions among them. 

      In this way, you can't make yourself happy by going back and forth with each other. One plus one equals two,...

      Why mothers tell them the truth

      Because the twins were raped by the head of the prison, they didn't want to get along well with them, giving them a sharp childhood. She was shocked when she learned that the head of the cell was her first child. When Nihad was born, she said that no matter what, she would always love him. In a letter to Nihad, she said that the two The child broke the chain, so she wanted her children to know the truth of the matter, to understand the harm that war and religion have caused them, to forgive all...

      what a scorched city

      The point of deduction is that the subtitle translation is too rubbish, and the Arabic part depends on understanding. Slow rhythm + face blindness, so I felt sleepy at first.

      Two space-time lines, advancing layer by layer, clear the clouds and see the sun. The great thing is that it reflects the sadness brought about by issues of ethnicity, religion, and war, as well as the loneliness and helplessness of wandering women, the brilliance and ugliness of human nature, and the family,...

      think

      In the age of mythology or non-civilization, war is the norm, and so is incest. Entering the human era (the era of civilization), civilization was established, family relationships were constructed, and the principle of no intermarriage between close relatives and even between the same tribe was established. But in the age of civilization, war has become a variable, breaking the rules established at the beginning of civilization. Human beings are fragile and passive variables. The eldest...

      Fugue of Religion and War, Hatred and Redemption

      The film uses the will of a pair of twin mothers as an introduction, telling the story of a family that dissolves hatred and reaches reconciliation in the pursuit. The film begins with a little boy's cold eyes as the set-up for the subsequent plot, and then the scene is that the notary reads the will in front of the two brothers and sisters, and the mother wants them to find the father and brother who have never met. The brother and sister's reactions show that their relationship with their...

      There are stories of soybean oil that say perverts are so natural, really perverted. Such a shocking and sighing story, (perhaps it is too dramatic and coincidental) an epic of a woman's love and wonder. The conflict of religious beliefs can set fire to the city, but no one can stop the family love that has lasted for decades. "The best thing in the world is to be together." "Scorched Earth City" is one of the most unprepared situations. time...

      This film is really cruel and shocking, like being punched in the chest. In the context of religious, political and military conflicts, a mother's forbearance and firm efforts are really abusive #really wonderful, very...

    Evaluation action

    Combining the coldness of Iranian cinema with the compassion of Greek cinema, coupled with the common abnormality in French films, is the taste of "Scorched Earth". The mother’s early experience in the film is the main line of the story, during which the dramatic combination of personal fate and national changes is simple, sharp, and unsensational. Only from the pictures in the film, the audience can clearly feel the restlessness and...

    Movie quotes

    • Notary Jean Lebel: Will of Mrs. Nawal Marwan... To Notary Jean Lebel: Bury me with no casket, no prayers, naked, face down, away from the world. Stone and epitaph. I want no gravestone, nor my name engraved anywhere. No epitaph for those who don't keep their promises. To Jeanne and Simon: Childhood is a knife stuck in your throat. It can't be easily removed. Jeanne, Mr Lebel will give you an envelope. The envelope is for your father. Find him, and give it to him. Simon, the notary will give you an envelope... The envelope is for your brother. Find him, and give him the envelope. When the envelopes have been delivered you will be given a letter. The silence will be broken, a promise kept, and you can place a stone on my grave and on it engrave my name in the sun.

    • Notary Jean Lebel: Death is never the end of the story. It always leaves tracks.

    • Nawal Marwan: But I say your story begins with a promise, to break the chain of anger.
