Virtual Reality

It was very tangled before the end of Scorched Earth. Obviously it is a very realistic background, but it doesn't match the number. Thanks to those opponents of the national football team, the flags of Middle Eastern countries still know something. But even if the national flag that appears twice in the movie has a Lebanese pine tree, it has a vertical black border of the United Arab Emirates. The exterior also looks like Beirut in Lebanon. In addition, Lebanon is a tug of war between Christianity and Islam in the Middle East. This background is vague. But the place names in the movie are really messed up and can't be found at all. It was only at the end that I realized that somewhere in the Middle East in the introduction was really a certain place. Because it is a virtual background at all. The truth is the story of Oedipus the King. Instantly relieved, I understood the coolest concept of "home and country" in Confucian culture in the movie. After all, the concept of nationalism does not even appear in Western movies as much. In the 2010 movie, there are still many fixed camera positions, only hand-held when showing the hearts of the characters. Steady and peaceful, the camera movement does not steal the original tension of the story. It is true that the grammar of audiovisual languages ​​has changed greatly over the years, but there has not been a master of changing forms with ideas like Manet Rodin. It's more of a hand-held for hand-held, and the picture grabs a lot of the power of the story. On the other hand, ten years ago, this movie that could be held in hand but shot at a fixed camera position is probably a little anxious now.

Incendies quotes

  • Notary Jean Lebel: Will of Mrs. Nawal Marwan... To Notary Jean Lebel: Bury me with no casket, no prayers, naked, face down, away from the world. Stone and epitaph. I want no gravestone, nor my name engraved anywhere. No epitaph for those who don't keep their promises. To Jeanne and Simon: Childhood is a knife stuck in your throat. It can't be easily removed. Jeanne, Mr Lebel will give you an envelope. The envelope is for your father. Find him, and give it to him. Simon, the notary will give you an envelope... The envelope is for your brother. Find him, and give him the envelope. When the envelopes have been delivered you will be given a letter. The silence will be broken, a promise kept, and you can place a stone on my grave and on it engrave my name in the sun.

  • Notary Jean Lebel: Death is never the end of the story. It always leaves tracks.
