      Click to get over the wall

      (Spoiler/Originally published on Yinghuashoumin website 1-8-14) In the first half of the movie, the protagonist Omar climbed the wall several times. That wall is a security facility that Israel has erected along the Israeli-Palestinian border (the West Bank area) since 2002[1]. The wall is eight meters high, so Omar has to rely on a thick rope that goes through the top of the wall to climb over, taking bullets at any time in the process. Some viewers who have seen the synopsis and know that...

      Can't climb the high wall of fate

      If it weren't for the continuous lovelorn of the senior, he would not have come to watch movies with me. If he hadn't made a mistake in the N+N movie time period, we wouldn't have watched "Fate Over the Wall" by accident.

      Because of a coincidence, I didn't do my homework before watching the movie. Looking at the protagonist Omar, who is as strong as Spider-Man, climbs over a high wall, and speaks an unfamiliar foreign language on the other side of the wall, I have not yet realized...

      Why did the male pig shoot the last shot?

      The gunshots at the end of the film stopped abruptly, but the opened brain hole could not be closed: Why did the male pig kill the police boss?

      Seeing all kinds of interpretations of chicken soup for the soul, redemption, venting hatred, fulfillment~
      I want to say that you really understand it..

      In fact, shooting is an inevitable and necessary ending,
      because there is only one truth: the police boss is planning this The mastermind behind all the brothers....

      People pay attention to the mystery, but the truth is simple and straightforward

      Most of the ordinary small country films have relatively simple plots, relying on historical background and cultural connotations, as well as touching emotions. The Palestinian film "Omar", which was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, tells a rather complicated story.

      The story takes place in the Middle East, on the Israeli-Palestinian border in the Gaza Strip, one of the most sensitive areas in the world right now. Religious, cultural,...

      The commercial film has such a strong flavor that it was actually made in Palestine. Don't lie to me because I don't read...

      At the beginning, the male protagonist climbed the rope and tried to climb over the wall, which is actually a true portrayal of the male protagonist's current situation. The wall is the predicament he faces in his life. In a country deep in the quagmire, a free group that has been striving for a better future for the nation. The shot at the end was superbly arranged. If you dig deeper, you can understand the heroine as a symbol of a better future. After all, the three men are all working hard...

      The old story frame was painted with political themes, and the meaning was suddenly different. The grafting was not bad, but it was still a little thin, and there was not much newness. Fortunately, the characters were not well shaped. Through several protagonists The experience of the people makes people see that the war will not only destroy homes, but also people's hearts, but the warriors who fought for freedom always make people awe. There are a few places that are a little brainless, and...

      In the class about Israeli-Palestinian film, I saw such an entertaining genre film. Although it is still a big political background, it focuses on the relationship between the characters of individual interests. Although the subject matter is familiar, it also has a unique style under different political backgrounds. Looking forward to the teacher inviting the male lead to the next class!...

      The best part is the open ending. The rhythm is too slow, and the shooting techniques are also quite...
