Moved and shocked is what everyone feels after watching it, and many details in the movie are worthy of attention and aftertaste. But the exposing of a third world country by a Scottish director makes me somewhat uncomfortable. For a long time, directors from developed western countries have been studying the history of third world countries, using their "human nature" perspective to expose those "ugly" pictures, but little about their own history.
History has stains. And the brutality of the dictators of the third world is learned from you Western countries! The tyranny of monarchs is common, but different worlds are in different stages at the same time. Armin's time may be exactly what Britain was hundreds of years ago.
