This is an involuntary world, all naked violence is so solemnly disguised by the divine, and every brutal person is the spokesperson of God!

This is an involuntary world. All naked violence is called sacred and disguised so solemnly. Every brutal person is a spokesperson for God!

The reason why a man is a man is that he must first have a certain degree of freedom. Freedom and democracy are the goals of all mankind!

The pain of life far outweighs the joy

The girl was running in panic, the desert beneath her feet devoured her energy little by little, at the same time, the cowboy was running, and the resisters on motorcycles were running away...

According to the romantic saying of the ancient nomads in West Africa, the Sahara is not a desert, but a "land and sea", and Timbuktu is right on this "land and sea". central.

A typical example of winning by subject matter, a group portrait of a group of people who lost their freedom under the oppression of terrorists, a cow on the verge of death, and a person being punished form an echo. People walking or running in the desert are like fighting beasts. The director clearly conveys a sense of tragedy that is powerless to control fate, but the characterization is not three-dimensional except for a group of families, and the rest is not three-dimensional. The whole...

3.5. I've always felt that one of the problems with movies is that the camera is always far away from objects and brutal events, or simplifying some extreme events. And most of the time in the movie is a literary drama, depicting the customs of Timbuktu. Looking back, this perspective does not pose a big problem. It is just that the director's choice of perspective is actually more like an outsider or bystander, and he did not investigate the mechanism and causal relationship of all these...
