Nothing new under the sun

The director's description of daily life through Middle Eastern countries is very common, and the description of daily life that is very rare in normal countries gradually makes the audience feel a sense of substitution, allowing the audience to have sympathy and pity for each character. What impresses me more is that the Syrians want to go to Europe, but the Ethiopians desperately want to stay in a ghostly place like Lebanon, where Israeli helicopters fly around every day. Some people may lament that the happy life in our country is not easy to come by. In fact, there are many similar stories about left-behind children in urban villages and rural areas. They are all under the same sun, and the stories are similar.

Capernaum quotes

  • Zain: I want to make a complaint against my parents. I'd want adults to listen to me. I want adults who can't raise kids not to have any. What will I remember? Violence, insults or beatings, hit with chains, pipes, or a belt? The kindest words I heard were get out son of a whore! Bug off, piece of garbage! Life is a pile of shit. Not worth more than my shoe. I live in hell here. I burn like rotting meat. Life is a bitch.I thought we'd become good people, loved by all. But God doesn't want that for us. He'd rather we be washrags for others. The child you're carrying will be like I am.

  • Zain: Life is the biggest injustice.
