Reality cannot be as rational and understanding as movies

5 points, Lebanon is the frontline battlefield between Israel and the Arab world. In this film of the conflict between Christians and Muslims, the more innovative place is to portray the Christian male protagonist as a reckless, uneducated, powder keg character The role----The film only uses flashbacks to adjust the audience's emotions after 30 minutes to explain the reason why the male protagonist hates Islam so much (family separation during the Lebanese civil war), of course, as the story progresses, the beginning seems humble The Muslims also had violent acts when they were children, and the film theme affirmed that both men were victims of the Lebanese civil war and conflict. But the mutual understanding of the ending is very weak in the real society. People in the real world are not as beautiful and rational as they appear in the movies. 【Score range 5-6 points】

    Only then did I clearly realize that the various conflicts and contradictions we see in the news every day, it turns out that the grievances are so deep, not only ideological conflicts, but not all ethnic and religious conflicts, not a simple sentence "put aside historical disputes and move forward." "See" can be solved, let alone one or two politicians, forced political correctness, or even a generation can solve. At the end of the movie, chicken soup is sprinkled, which further contrasts the helplessness in reality. North Film Festival 11

    #Venice2017# It takes a lot of background knowledge about Lebanon and Palestine to fully understand. The film is really good, the political and historical contradictions and war trauma memories stirred up by a small incident, and the endless court scenes have actually become a (unable to) trial and psychoanalysis of the inexorable historical issues. Preaching is definitely preaching, and it’s almost a political movie. It’s definitely not as good as “separating once.” There must be a prize.
