Zhan Shui Shi is a kind of Tu-Australian romance-direct, real and touching. Of the three main lines, not all of them are handled well, but they leave you at a loss for fault, yes, because that's how things are.
The first is the story of the war, which revolves around the Turkish Civil War and the landing battle of the ANZAC. Forgiveness, and finally helped find his child, it turned out to be the machine gunner who killed his child back then. But at the juncture of life and death, his father actually saved his former murderous enemy. War is not a hatred between people, but a manifestation of norms-yes, we are here, we have died a lot of people, we are gone, nothing is taken away. But we are proud of it, this is our rule. This is a common Australian cultural identity, and the director proudly said it.
Lonely. I went to watch this movie alone, and there were only three people in the whole movie theater. . There is still a couple sitting in the last row. The atmosphere and sound effects (...) of that kind of book-keeping style can really feel that kind of inner shock. The memories at the beginning of the film and my father’s decision to find a son after his wife died, I don’t know why it reminds me of Flying House Travelling——(Of course, I think Flying House Traveling’s dream is less than 70 points after the opening 100 points). The reality of the war scene, the accumulation of bones everywhere, there is no fancy, there is no so-called big scene, big production, magical techniques, petty bourgeoisie, literary and artistic style, it is so simple, direct, and moving, but in one scene. It makes you clutch your chest and feel so depressed.
The relationship line between the proprietress and father shouldn't be so simple and rude, which is also a pity. The director handles historical themes such as war, father-son relationship, and forgiveness very well, but emotionally it is not satisfactory. But the wife and the heroine are so beautiful, and the heroine's bear child is also too cute ==. The uncle-like father is really attractive.
Brother against brother. Nation against nation. Man against the creation. We murdered each other. We broke the world, we did this. Man did this.
War is too cruel, but human nature is a bridge of communication in the world. Forgiveness is the decisive way of peace. Love can resolve disagreement and disapproval. When he embarked on this road, he was already looking for peace and hope. Although it recorded the story and daily life of Tiehan’s father in a foreign country like a documentary, it was enough to move people's hearts—because of this theme, there is no need for it. If you understand the Turkish Civil War and the Anzac Corps, you can understand and shock you, because people all over the world share the same human nature.
For the description of love, half and half, for the feelings of family affection, four and a half, for the interpretation of war, quarter and half, for the torture of human nature, full score. But I still gave it five points-because you are worth seeing such a movie, because the movie has surpassed itself.
PS The gaze between the father and the hostess dining is really beautiful! Waking up in the middle of the night, he pulled back into the cruelty with the soundtrack at the time, and his chest felt heavy. In addition, tears came out when my brother shot and killed his brother.
ps2 = = It seems that this movie will be shown in Australia, the United States and Turkey. . .

  • Lt-Col Cyril Hughes: We lost over two thousand men in those four days at Lone Pine. The Turks lost seven thousand. We didn't take too many prisoners either. I don't know if I'd forgive any of us.

  • Connor: Hope's a necessity where I come from.
