The title "Scorched Earth" is too deceptive. It has always been regarded as a Middle East war movie without touching it. However, it is a suspense film that won the Oscar title for the commercial literary and artistic film Dana Villeneuve. Living up to its reputation, it's very good-looking and thought-provoking. The script, derived from the best-selling novel, is solid and the story is terrific (don't let spoilers ruin it). Villeneuve's quiet and mournful temperament is an excellent interpretation of a tough woman, brutal religious slaughter, and an inescapable cycle of fate. The director's atmosphere creation is a master. The composition, lens movement, color grading, and music are not gorgeous, but extremely accurate and efficient. His artistic tone is truly unique. The blurred, poetic, and down-to-earth literary and artistic temperament in "Arrival" and "Blade Runner" is also in the same line in this Middle East suspense film, and it does not violate harmony. This is really admirable. With such a beautiful skin, coupled with the basis of a strange love story, it is really difficult to look bad. Of course, I don't recommend a movie just because it looks good every time. Aesthetic enjoyment alone is still too thin. Intellectual and emotional stimulation or inspiration is essential. Women, religion, destiny, these grand and eternal propositions are well expressed. Not a single snowflake is innocent and cannot extricate itself from the gigantic cycle of karma. So far the story is always sad.
