The first still I saw was a little boy leaning against the wall, feeling lost, another little baby wearing not-so-tidy socks leaning against him, as if he didn't quite understand what was happening before him. After watching the movie today, I was a little lost, as if I understood the "world" in the stills. A movie theater, a bustling commercial street, an exquisite lady pushing a stroller, a successful man who runs a limo, a coffee shop, men and women, a love group, a schoolboy who discusses playing games... Such a strong contrast makes people feel uncomfortable. It is hard to imagine that I, who was still immersed in the poverty-stricken area of Lebanon an hour ago, was sitting in Mak Kee, listening to my friends telling his daily love story, while browsing the German male model team that will be on stage tonight. So, the movie put it bluntly, is it a bunch of useless enthusiasm? Except for the countless "so miserable" sighs in the movie theater, it seems that nothing can be changed, and it is very frustrating to think about it like this. But after thinking about it, the true power of movies should not be dominated by standards such as "useful" and "useless". When a movie can stir waves in a person's heart, no matter one minute or one hour, this is its victory. The movie is aimed at a "huge" poor family in Lebanon, and the boy Zane is the eldest of the family. Said to be the boss, in fact, he is about 10 years old. It is said that everyone has his own life, and Zane has his own life, but it sucks. He would be envious of seeing the school bus passing by, but when he looked down, he was holding a heavy gas tank instead of a book. Obviously, people whose lives are hanging by a thread are not qualified to talk about spiritual exploration. His sensibility is distressing. Regarding his life, Zane rarely thinks about resistance. Even if he wants to go to school, he just cueed his father tentatively and gave it up. And once his siblings were involved, he seemed to have put all his courage into it. When his sister Saha was forced to marry a neighbor by her parents, Zane helped her sister make an escape plan. In front of the strong parents, he used his weak body to block bullets for her sister. Indeed, in a life where sadness is everywhere, Zane rarely thinks about himself. My sister came on an official holiday, Zane didn’t hesitate to take off his t-shirt and use it as a sanitary napkin for her. When watching movies, I always think this way, I must be very happy to be Zane’s younger siblings. It's just that Zane hasn't experienced the feeling of being "protected" for about 12 years. His weak body shuttled between the busy traffic, like an unnoticed existence. For him, after getting up tomorrow, it will be another bumpy day. Day after day, maybe until the day when life ends. Sister Saha was still married to a neighbor. At the age of 11, she was later forced to become pregnant, and a lot of bleeding took her young life. When the neighbor told the tragedy, it was as if he was stating a plain law of nature: "My relatives are all married as women at this age, and they are all alive and well now." Such an attitude is simply damaging. Heartbroken. Saha's departure (married to a neighbor) prompted Zane to leave home. On the days of leaving home, he met a black woman who also had a hard life. After falling in love, he gave birth to a baby boy. Because he did not have an ID card, he could only work illegally for others as a shady household. The women took in Zane, which was also regarded as a kind of exchange, one provided accommodation and the other provided childcare services. After all, what Zane is best at is taking care of people. The tragedy happened one after another, like an endless rainstorm. A black woman was arrested and imprisoned one day because of her status as a black household. Such leaving without saying goodbye caused Zane and the baby boy to be completely exiled. In most scenes of the movie, Zane is trying to survive, but like he used to treat his brothers and sisters, Zane always puts the needs of baby boys first: buying baby food, stealing bottles... When they were driven out by the landlord, Zane put the baby in the iron basin and dragged him through the streets with great effort, fighting against DNA. To those in a privileged situation, he is like a tenacious virus. The irresponsibility and selfishness of the parents are all passed on to the children. Zane's parents are happy because his son will bear the heavy life for them. When they were struggling, they were driven out by the landlord, and Zane put the baby in the iron basin, dragged him through the streets with great effort, and confronted the DNA.

There will also be warmth in depressed shots. When a black woman went out to work, Zane held a baby who had not yet mastered the language, and made funny noises when dubbing a cartoon; when he saw a stranger, the baby boy cried to Zane to hug....turbulent They have so little of an unbearable life, but they seem to have a lot. I think of Mayakovsky said: "People must choose a life, and have the courage to persevere." But in this world, not everyone has the right to choose, on the contrary, a miserable life chose them. The most distressing scene in the film is that Zane rushed out of the house with a knife after learning that his sister Saha had died unfortunately, saying "I'll tell you what is [nothing]." The film did not give it to you. The shot of Zane stabbing people is shown, but it is directly switched to the screen of Zane being taken into the police station. When stabbing the neighbor, it was probably the only moment Zane could get a breath. It seemed that it was a person who stabbed, but it was also like stabbing this fucking world, or rather, this damn country. Children at this age have only begun to recognize the B-side of the world, and Zane has not only understood it a long time ago, but the real world has already overturned his beautiful fantasy of the world enough. Revenge does not seem to stop much, and the evil consequences will continue. The mother is pregnant again, and like a curse of life, the newborn will repeat Zane's fate. This is so desperate, how can a word "hate" be finished? And the baby boy who had been in love with Zane, five years later, ten years later, he will probably be another Zane, rushing to the fate of life and death in a world of constant suffering. The chaos is endless, bewildered on all sides, like "Capernaum", the sadness of not playing cards according to common sense, irregular, without boundaries. After the screening, all kinds of adults surrounded the male lead, wanting to take a photo with him, with enigmatic enthusiasm. The child looked sad, accepting what happened. For the male protagonist, this is not a movie, but the current state of the country in which he was born. Magic realism is more than magic. ps: written in 6.17 siff my movie public number: filmpublic
