"The Other Side of Hope" Focuses on Refugee Issues
The film focuses on the refugee issue.
As a whole, the number of Syrian refugees is so large that it is hard to avoid the suspicion of being a hustler, but the film focuses on a specific young refugee, showing him how he fled all the way, cared about his lost sister, turned to the office for help, but was rejected and expelled. The violence of neo-Nazis...the audience couldn't help but sympathize.
The film is still in the simple and silent style of Akikorismaki. Finland under...

Not showing off cheap Madonna gestures
Although still exploring the same refugee theme as the previous "Le Havre", the fairy tale color of this new work is used just right, adding a smile and a tearful interpretation of the current European social reality.
In fact, similar to British director Ken Loach, Aki Kaurisma basically upholds a liberal leftist stance. In his previous works, he has focused on the humble and down-to-earth people in society: restaurant employers, car drivers, homeless people, security guards, match...

The first story tells the story of a man named Kahd. He is a Syrian refugee who smuggled into Helsinki on a coal ship and stayed in a local shelter with little vision for the future. The protagonist of the second story is Vikstrom, who was originally a businessman but made a fortune at the gambling tables. Now run a restaurant. Kahed was turned away by the Finnish government and was not granted legal status. In desperation, he "black" in Helsinki, living in various parks and sewers,...

There are good and bad people. To survive in an uncertain world, with all kinds of small luck, but also with all kinds of misfortune, family members died in the war, lived in a foreign country, were beaten by the police, and stabbed by hooligans. In idealism, we always choose to see the bright side of human nature, such as the female administrator of the refugee shelter, the truck driver who helps smuggling, the owner of the restaurant. After all, this kind of humanistic care that has...

May you and me be like this, I drink, messy but serious
At the beginning of the golden sentence
"people like to drink when they are in bad luck, and they like to drink when they are out of date"
"I can't bring happiness to others, I let myself sink in order to help others" I
read and wrote in the middle and
saw a few Finns wearing them The kimono is changed to Japanese food, is it mustard to dig with a big spoon? What a hopeful Japanese food store, the big close-up of the beckoning cat produced by Yiwu bless you...

It is probably the most appropriate to describe it as neither arrogant nor humble. Tell warm stories with a slow and expressionless face, and use the atmosphere to drive the tone to show the coldness and unique temperament of Northern...

3.5 Since I know Finns are socially afraid, every time I watch Uncle Aki's movie, I always measure the "sense of distance" between people in the frame. The physical alienation cannot stop the emotional communication of the characters reflected in the eyes and small movements. The transfer of hot and cold is the way Uncle Aki communicates with the...
