7.5 points, [HKIFF#5] A typical drama that sees the big from the small. But when the movie saw the interruption, it was possible to roughly guess what was going to happen next. This is probably the biggest shortcoming of this movie. It lacks new ideas. common practice. The biggest advantage of the film is in its content. It tells about the deep relationship between the two countries through a trivial matter. , the process of seeing the light. The cause here becomes no longer important, it becomes an 'opportunity', and the process of court debate becomes the process of uncovering the painful history. What the film wants to convey is that the painful history has already happened. Staying in my heart will only increase the pain. Only by speaking about the pain and understanding each other can we soothe the pain.

The play is neat and clear, and sometimes I feel that it is too clear, for fear that the audience will not be able to see it.

    BJIFF's wonderful Lebanese film, this year's Beijing Film Festival is finally in the sand! Combined with overall quality and popularity, this is this year's Outstanding Citizen. Even if you don't understand the historical conflict between Lebanon and Palestine, it will not affect the look and feel, and the fast-paced and informative plot will supplement the relevant background. Several court scenes were full of intensity, the emotions were in place, the reversal was reasonable, and the reconciliation between the two men was straightforward and unambiguous.
