      The Insult--Seeking An Apology From Whom I Don't Know

      In English, the Arabic name " (Case No. 23) is translated as "The Insult." I like the original name; no preconceptions, clean. It just so happens that it is translated as "humiliation", which is a bit of a clever trick. Having said that, when it comes to translation, you can't always blindly worship the author, and being faithful to the original text is just a powerless rhetoric. Translation is...

      Facing history is the best medicine to heal the scars.

      "Shame" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards and won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival. Inadvertently saved resources, very small Lebanese movies. What is the capital of Lebanon? I guess you can't tell me the same.

      The film leads to racial conflicts and national historical issues from a small quarrel. The people of Lebanon and the people of Palestine live in the same land, but they have never truly blended and understood each other. "We are...

      Puzzles of the Arab World

      1. Lebanon's legal resources are very abundant, such a trivial matter can be litigated, and it has attracted so many social forces to participate. It seems to be a country with the rule of law!

      2. The conflicts between Lebanon and Pakistan are all internal conflicts between Arab brothers, especially when "Jewish Israel" appears. When they face modern civilization, they can't help but worship German quality. I don't know if this is followed by It cannot be said that Hitler killed 6...

      Paganism is fiercer than artillery fire, may we enter the court in the future

      "Later Us" has the ticket refund gate, citing the same party and fighting each other, and all parties are just and righteous, but behind the scenes, Rene Liu and Maoyan don't hesitate to poke their eyes, insulting the public's cognition and disrupting the normal viewing order, while throwing the blame To the huge but mysterious party organization in the mainland - the scalper party. They describe the refund behavior as "a kind of behavior of a small network of small particles...

      Rejection of Refugees Educational Film

      As a Chinese without a refugee issue, the most incomprehensible thing about this film is why refugees are so arrogant? Why does the president tell a citizen that you and refugees are brothers?

      If you are naturalized, OK, then we are brothers; but you are not native at all, who gave you the courage to condemn the Lebanese people for supporting Israel? In other words, what if I support you? It's a good intention to accept you, don't really take yourself as a master, and also "our...

      The global extreme left and extreme right are one family, the main theme of fake big empty dog ​​blood, and the favorite of young people from white and left literary and artistic powers. But no matter how the Palestine Green Church and the so-called progressive Christian party love and kill each other, they will not be able to support the wall with mud and anti-Semitism. Not bad and stupid, full of malice. It does not represent the position of the Lebanese government. There is really no silver...

      (7.0/10) 2017, Dory. After watching it in the archive for 42 minutes, the projector hung up, and I came back to continue watching it with my Dell 7590. From personal disputes all the way up the rock to unearth the hatred and history of ethnic groups and countries, and finally to subtly unify the two sides that were originally unequal, this idea is not bad. It should be noted that the state of affairs in this story is "escalating" rather than "running out of control," with only the president's...

      Best movie I've seen this year. Fascinating and thought provoking. The creators hope to bring the best possible solution to the historical hatred, at least temporarily in the film. Maybe we'll never be truly internationalists, it's not a world like that. Even if the world agrees with the film's point of view, the war will not disappear and end. It's just that no matter what the world is like, at least you can try to be what you want to...

      Before watching the movie, you should first make up the history of Pakistan and Lebanon, like reading a two-hour reflection on the conflict in the Middle East. A court case caused by a spat, two public court hearings, two families extending to two countries. I can roughly understand how frustrating the humiliation of historical grievances is, but, after all, this is too far from...

      The shots are comfortable, the paths are clear, the performances and emotions of the characters are real; the propulsion of the plot is strong and overly dramatic, and the release results are weak and unconvincing, and the potential of the story itself is not well placed , is not a very good script; will the reconciliation be silent? We haven't reached the point of reconciliation without imagining the bang of the wall...

    Evaluation action

    The story of The Insults involves the history of war and religious conflict in the Middle East, an event not well known to most people, but it does not prevent the audience from entering and understanding. The film explores the deep reasons behind this dramatic event from its inception to its evolution. Behind the individual, it is directly related to the two religious races represented by the two people, as well as the war tragedies...
