"Shame" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards and won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival. Inadvertently saved resources, very small Lebanese movies. What is the capital of Lebanon? I guess you can't tell me the same.
The film leads to racial conflicts and national historical issues from a small quarrel. The people of Lebanon and the people of Palestine live in the same land, but they have never truly blended and understood each other. "We are all hurt and we are all victims."
Yes, who is not the victim? From this beginning, the two male protagonists were injured in the incident, just as the two nations were left behind by the war. We hurt each other, but because we were both frightened and fearful.
The old man was kind, honest, and objective. "The law is often unfair, but this time it just happened to be on my side." As a Palestinian who is dependent on others, he lives cautiously and compares himself to black people.
The first male is also a good person, because childhood memories harbor hatred and look at people with tinted glasses. But as far as the matter is concerned, love and hate are clear, and the facts will not be distorted. The clip of repairing the old man's car is very nice.
When the two sides are deadlocked, we see a part of ourselves and a lot of us. In the face of right and wrong in reality, we are often subjective and selfish, wanting to play the position of the victim and also want to be the victor. Undoubtedly, the characters in the play are very positive, and the human nature is even more noble.
If there is no final reconciliation, the lawyer seems to be the villain who is not afraid of big things. Seeing the clip of the lawyer's father also inspired us to discuss whether defense should poke people's privacy and expose people's scars.
But it is precisely because of the ending of the film that this film is worthy of a recommendation of more than 7 points. If it gets out of hand, the idea of the film is too political.
Having said that, why do we always shout the slogan "Don't forget the national humiliation, remember the pain"? Because we just want an apology, an apology that is put on the table, does not evade and does not deceive. Every time an old scar is exposed, it will hurt again. How to make the scar no longer hurt is to face it honestly, solve it, and then make it truly a thing of the past.
A film that has risen to the height of xx should be shot like this, and as audiences, we, who also have a history of pain, should remain calm, rational, and not easily instigated.
