A good movie with a bad title

There are countless languages ​​I want to dedicate to this great film, but I can't even start. The uncontrollable sadness shrouded my heart, until the end of the ending song, the film was replayed until I couldn't bear to watch it again, and after sobbing and sobbing for a long time, I couldn't help but want to leave something for it, to prove that this is a movie worthy of my lifetime .

Such a terrifying Africa meets such a noble humanity.

Justin, a diplomat who is such a gentle gentleman, meets Tessa, who is desperate for love.

The director didn't spend too much time describing how the two fell in love, but in the subsequent layers of the case, they made people believe in their love. I also believe that it is what they have in common that makes their love so convincing.

The wise director used a lot of contrasts to describe the heart-warming plot, and almost caught everyone's appetite from the beginning, and fell into layers.

Seeing the scene where Abu jumped out of the plane and ran in order not to affect the takeoff of the rescue plane, I believe that every audience could not help but shed hot tears. At this moment, RF's acting skills and suppressed crying are simply masterpieces. At that moment, he became the person he loved deeply, so thoroughly.

RF, who has always been charming and profound, has once again contributed an admirable performance in this film. From a gentleman diplomat who is harmless to humans and animals, he has gradually evolved into a warrior who seeks the truth regardless of his life or death. Even in the most depressing and desperate scenes, he still With the wisdom and elegance of aristocrats, only those who love Uncle La's acting skills can experience it carefully. It is also such a delicate performance that people are unconsciously brought into the final sad mood.

In the end, the film continued to use a little suspense and a little reversal to let people know the ending of the male protagonist in a seemingly peaceful way, so calm, but so unacceptable.

However, in the end, knowing the peace before the male protagonist's death, in addition to being deeply regretful, I can also roughly understand that because of his great kindness, after learning so many tragedies, why did he survive alone? Justin doesn't have to die, but his death makes the theme of the film more sublime, and perhaps it is also a kind of consummation.

After watching this film, I have to once again appreciate how much Western films have led us. Regardless of the theme and content, even every detail is worth reminiscing again. Just, do you have that courage.

Just this commemoration!
