Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards and the 68th Golden Globe Awards, co-produced by Denmark and Sweden.
Two children, Christian's mother just passed away, Elias's father Anton is a doctor without borders all year round, and their parents are getting divorced. Three violent incidents: two children were bullied by school bullies, Christian beat the bully, and the bully dared not bully them again; Anton took the children out to play, and was slapped by an auto mechanic for a trivial matter, the children But he was so angry that he decided to blow up the auto mechanic's car; Anton was treating illnesses and saving people in Africa. There was a warlord who was very cruel. He would pierce the belly of a pregnant woman in order to bet on the sex of the fetus with his subordinates.
In the eyes of the children, Anton lost the slap, but if he can't reason with the fool, he must use violence to control violence? The price the fool pays will definitely be lighter than that of Anton. Let's look at Africa again. The warlord's leg was injured. An Dongming knew that he was very bad but saved him because he was a doctor. But when the warlord insulted a corpse, Anton got angry and threw the wounded warlord to the angry crowd.
There is always violence in the world, which leads to hatred, which leads to more violence. For a sane person, neither violence nor tolerance seems to be the best way to deal with it. How can we usher in a better world?

    When people face violence, is it tolerant, let it go, or use violence to stop violence? The root of the violence itself and the reflection of the perpetrator make this difficult choice belong to the values ​​and morals of the person facing the violence. The two-line narrative of the film is very exciting, but I personally feel that the handling of certain plots is still a little deliberate. Kubei Zhengtai is actually very cute.

    1. The sadness that can’t get out, the two broken families are like this mottled world, love is a running-in agent to make the world a better place; 2. I really like photography, the beautiful pictures are broken and the world is different. The beautiful itinerary contrasts vividly; 3. Christian's actor is very handsome, and the Swedish doctor Anton's personal preaching to the three children is very powerful.
