fight for the environment

It is rare to see Icelandic movies, and this one alone amazes me, and I have learned what it means to be unique. The technique is fresh, the bridge is humorous, and the story of such a radical behavior is told in a grotesque way. The director is a woman in war.
No matter what the starting point is, Hanra is short-circuiting power lines and destroying transmission towers. Her series of actions are crimes. But it seems that the director doesn't think so at all, and...

fine

Iceland is the most expensive country in the world. When people boil cold water at home, it is natural mineral water, and when they boil hot water, they are hot spring water. There is a reason for less pollution! This requires the participation of the whole people and the whole government! As a country living in a country that does not know what environmental protection is, garbage classification has not been popularized for many years, and plastic products are flooded. I really can't...

Not just the aunt of the attack, but the expression of the attack

This movie was fun to watch.
Berlin's open-air square, when I arrived, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to see.
Germany put the movie, the previous trailers and commercials will almost exhaust patience, waiting for the main film to start.
A woman came out to cut a pylon, and a three-person orchestra was playing along the way.
what is this?
No subtitles, can't...

Modern portrait of an independent woman in Iceland

Whether it is the movie poster or the theme, they all echo the Don Quixote written by the Spanish writer Cervantes, but this is no longer an idealist who fights against nothingness, but an Icelandic woman with a clear goal and focus on protecting the environment. It seems to be just a light-hearted skit-style Nordic comedy, but it carries deep real-world topics, from discrimination and xenophobia to extreme environmentalism, to pervasive technology monitoring technology, and...

The Mother of the Mountains of Attack - "I walk in the dark and serve the light"

Foggy blue sky, verdant grass. Woman, a woman holds a bow and arrow, aiming at the sky. This is Woman At The opening of War is confusing, but somehow I watched it late at night, but I calmed down and wanted to watch it. The reason why I use its English name to call this movie, rather than the Taiwanese translation of "The Aunt of the Attack" or "Women in War" here in the mainland, I think the English sounds more neutral in terms of understanding, and the Chinese is broad and profound....

Three and a half. European eccentric filmmakers have changed their ways to shoot all kinds of daily life issues of bitterness, great hatred, and deep hatred. It's interesting to use the twin sister-like setting and the background band that comes on...

Are you practicing Chinese kung fu to demolish the stage of our Chinese enterprises? Don't you know that the acquisition of these things by multinational corporations is all left by your Western uncles? Oh, we have polluted the land in China for decades, we and he now have two money to go to you to buy the land that has polluted you, and he will jump up? Then they put the dung pots on our heads, saying that we robbed you of your employment, polluted your environment, and set up debt traps for...

Movie quotes

Halla: Economic sabotage.

Ása: It's extremism, which breeds extremism. He who Jives by the sword, dies by the sword.

Halla: But no one has been hurt, except our country and our planet.

Ása: It's not the right way to solve this problem.

Halla: Meditating in some convent, will that change something?

Ása: It will change me and thus the world I hope.

Halla: Isn't that egoism, to think it will change the world?

Ása: The drop hollows the stone.

Halla: The stone? The mountains are falling on us, we don't have time to wait for drops.

Ása: Now you're going to save a child and the entire world with it. Isn't that a small drop or is it just vanity?

Halla: At least I'm doing something for someone else.
Ása: You don't need anyone else. You know that you can do it. You're the mom and nothing will stop you.

[stands up from the bench and faces Halla]

Ása: What did mom always say?

Halla: Yeah.

Ása: Yes, say it.

Halla: Moms can do anything.

Ása: [laughs] No, the other thing.

Halla: Find solutions.

Ása: Exactly.
Baldvin: This is not a joke. Some American has taken over the investigation and Israelis too. They're analyzing the paper. Why did you use an old typewriter? It can be traced.

Halla: Stop. No one will trace it.

Baldvin: Why didn't you let me read it before?

Halla: I just had to get it out, the timing was crucial. And then the girl came...

Baldvin: [interrupts] But there are weak points they will tear apart.

Halla: Like what?

Baldvin: The laws about laws... You're opening up a very dangerous angle, they will totally deform it.

Halla: People will understand. I've planted the seeds, it can't be stopped.

Baldvin: They don't want to stop it, but to control it. They will control the discussion.

Halla: What will be discussed? The real issues.

Baldvin: Who will tell us what the real issues are?
