Think with your toes and know that this journey is bound to be very hard. In the past, there was also a set of fixed routines for the theme of "finding relatives". We have to thank Hollywood for its mature industrial system. In the framework of the series, you only need to "fill in the blanks". In the routine, there are usually a few people who tirelessly create troubles for the protagonist and can alleviate the dangers, and both the good and the bad will tell the protagonist to "go home, go home", no The protagonist who was moved by his faith moved a small group of people, spared his life to help the protagonist, and finally reunited and reaped family friendship and love. The film begins with the male protagonist ascending to the ravaged land of Turkey, and he has entered into a skillful routine. The hotel proprietress gives him spiritual comfort, which is called love; Turkish military officers help each other, which is called friendship; it is extremely difficult. The risk of finding the surviving eldest son is a family relationship. In the many ordeals, Joshua is not only being helped, but also helping others. This kind of mutual care shows the beauty of human nature in the context of war is commendable.
This film is the directorial debut of the Oscar actor Russell Crowe. It is intended to commemorate the soldiers who died in World War I and dedicated to those families who lost their loved ones. In World War I, 37 million people died, 8 million people were missing, and mass graves. Unknown monuments abound, maybe your relatives are somewhere, but you don’t know. In the film, Russell Crowe deliberately arranged a magic carpet story in the "Arabian Nights" for the father and son. The "carpet goo" is a spell for the prince to return home, and it is also a spiritual connection between the father and the son. The war is cruel.

Russell Crowe also tried his best to restore the cold-blooded and brutal environment of that period, through a family to cover the face. , Tells the sadness of the separation of many families, but in a serious narrative, the development of the story line cannot keep up with this tall theme, and there are too many complicated branches. For example, the proprietress’s son asked Joshua to help find his father. The fresh love with the proprietress and the repeated interviews with Turkish military officers showed that Crowe wanted to expand the narrative pattern of the film, but in the end, the bearing capacity was insufficient, which led to a complete collapse of the line. If it is a movie fan who does not understand the background of World War I, it is difficult to feel substituting. After all, this period of history is relatively remote. In an era when war films are scarce, especially in the movie circle with World War II as the main creative theme, this is a natural defect.
It has the metaphorical meaning of "occupying the water", but it has not been shown. The pity of this film is not only that, but in terms of the debut, it is already very good. Regarding the Hollywood ending of the film, it can only be said that Crow has been deeply immersed in the old American culture for too long. With the coffee tune of Turkish customs, it is quite sweet to carry it out. It is said that in Turkey, a girl makes a cup of coffee for a boy. If it is bitter, it means breaking up, and if it is sweet, it will be together. The proprietress made Joshua a cup of coffee with too much sugar to melt...
