The ugliness of hatred is endless revenge

The story line is undoubtedly heavy, and the moment of understanding 1+1=1 goes from being shocked to speechless.

But I really can't understand the motive of my mother's last wish. As conveyed in the movie, the ugliness of hatred lies in the fact that it makes people fall into a kind of meaningless killing, motivated only by revenge, and the killing can continue as long as one party starts. It cannot be said that mothers should self-dissolve and bring the truth to the grave. No outsider can say that he understands in the face of such heavy facts. But bringing the truth to children in this way is undoubtedly a continuation of the torture.

But disapproval of motivation doesn't prevent it from being accepted that it's a good story. After watching the movie, I remembered the moment when the child whose hair had been shaved looked up at the moment, and shuddered. Abtare's identity is not only a father and a brother, but also the child who was abandoned in an orphanage because he was afraid of embarrassing his family. A boy soldier who was trained as a soldier, an orphan who chose to be a martyr in order to be seen by his mother, an emotionless sniper, an executioner who raped a female prisoner. Such a line is a complete tragedy, and every aspect of ugly humanity has led to such a hopeless beginning and cruel ending.
