In the real world, there is always conflict, death, and injustice. Father who treats refugees in Africa faces death, bloodshed and hatred every day. My son studying in a Danish secondary school is bullied by his classmates every day. In the face of injustice, is violence against violence, or is there a better way?
The Danish film "In a Better World" quietly answers. The film has two main lines, a father who practices medicine in Africa and a son who goes to school in a small town in Denmark. Father upholds saving the dead and helping the wounded, and he also treats the murderer. And the little boy met a classmate who had recently lost his mother and helped him fight off the evil young man who always bullied him.
The plot of the movie is not complicated, and most of the time is on the two teenagers.
The picture is refreshing and beautiful, the story is meaningful, and the plot echoes. Plain and simple is true. Focusing on the small, it is the big road that is mapped. good show.
Two young actors, one is handsome and gloomy, with a bit of coldness; the other is pure and kind. The father and mother are both middle-aged, and there should be wrinkles, and there are wrinkles. There are not many words, but the eyes and body language express a kind of restraint and firmness. The one who played the mother wasn't a Hollywood beauty, but she was really beautiful in that close-up of his son waking up. It is not a face that has been injected and pulled.
No wonder it won this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
In a hurry, the story is over, but life goes on. . .
Think of John Lennon's famous song Imagine:
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…
