I just can't tell

(Issue 107) Dayin Niche Movie Viewing Party

——"Scorched Earth City" 9

It's incredible, it's incredible, the first time I touch the story of the Middle East like this, the religious war, is cruel I can't understand. For the first time, I felt the most classic complex. Its occurrence is fate, which is both the end and the beginning. When you are hate, what you see is hate, when you are love, what you see is love. Although the end of the movie tells us to choose love, it still takes me a while to digest it before I can accept such a big love.

Excellent drama, inconvenient spoilers, can only say that you will be shocked after watching it! It is a movie with both plot and thinking

Some things are like this, life is just like that, it’s not clear, there’s no right or wrong, there’s nothing you can do, good fortune makes people, fate reincarnates, everything is empty, what you choose, what your world is.

    An ancient Greek tragedy in the Middle East setting, the ending is as shocking as a nuclear explosion; the switching of perspective and the advancement of the plot are similar to Villanueva's debut work "Polytechnic Institute", and it is more mature. But it is also a calmness that is almost stripped of emotion, and this kind of torture without moral criticism makes people shiver even more.

    The figures sought by two generations are superimposed into a story of love and darkness. Time and space converge on this scorched earth. The story of her life, the love she spent her life searching for, bloomed a poisonous flower in the smoke of gunpowder; defended by her life. Secret, use death to dispel the sins, tell me love you with all my strength; the moment you learn the truth, like the 2049 Trojan in hand, revisiting and looking back is like groping for the style of Villeneuve.

  • 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.
