Dilemma and contradiction

The movie "A Better World" begins in the long yellow sand and ends in the jungle and plains with blue sky and white clouds. It seems that the deserted life has been drenched in raindrops, so it becomes lush.

Ethereal music, precise performance, subtle structure foreshadowing, and the grand and subtle theme of life.

The film has two main lines, one is the main line of the adult world of doctors, and the other is the main line of the world of two children. And the two main lines continue to separate and intersect repeatedly, and the final overlap allows everyone who is tired and hesitated in life to find a kind of spiritual comfort. It can be said that the director discussed many themes in this film, the most prominent of which is the conflict between civilization and violence, and the loss and gain of love in life. A doctor with noble sentiment and humanistic care went to the land of Africa to treat people who had suffered violent abuse. Whether for his children or for the poor people in Africa, he is a representative of a civilized society. He has compassion for others, a high sense of responsibility and professional ethics.
