Love beyond

Going beyond the border and seeing the title, you will think that the story tells a peaceful movie about fighting back and forth on the border, passing through the woods, swamps, etc., and finally crossing the border.

It wasn't until after watching the film that I heard the sound of a landmine exploding at Sarah's feet that I suddenly realized that the film transcends more than the region, more is the transcendence of love, and more accurately, transcends the boundary of love.

"Love" means love in a broad sense. At a charity party in London, when she heard Nick talk about how hungry the refugees in the refugee rescue area are, how no one cares, and how they need real rescue, Sarah’s The heart is moved by it. Later, it raised funds and set foot on the borders of Africa for the first time, delivering medicine and food. The sand was flying along the way, and a long line was slowly moving listlessly and against the scorching sun. A boy on the side of the road who was so thin that he was almost eaten by the wild crane... Seeing this, he couldn't help being shocked. Can be so thin! The thickness of the arm is equivalent to the thickness of two fingers of a mature man. On the skinny body, there are extremely uncoordinated big heads, deep sunken eyes, and weakly drooping. Seeing this with her own eyes, Sarah's kindness seemed to be unable to hold back. Next, I delivered supplies again and again, and helped the refugees with the rescuers.

Of course, there is also another kind of "love", affection. Maybe it was Nick's passionate speech at that charity dinner, or Nick's stubbornness, or his persistence. In short, she was deeply attracted by him. So that every morning, she and him get up together; every night, she and him go to bed together. Although this is just a miss. Yes, it is a yearning that has not changed in the past four years.

Sarah’s birthday, her youngest daughter played a birthday song for her, her youngest son lit candles for her, and the family congratulated her lively on her birthday. But only I know that my heart is no longer in sight.

Nick is in Sarah's mind all the time. When Sarah’s promotion speech, as a spokesperson for the UN refugee organization, described how many refugees in the world need help, the scenes before her were all of Nick's figure, Nick's sad eyes for the refugees. This forced Julie to stop her speech. At this moment, she must know the whereabouts of Nick immediately, and she must know the life and death of Nick!

The love for Nick makes Sarah bravely walk towards the al-Qaeda in the mountains. In order to find Nick, regardless of her sister's persuasion, he resolutely set foot on the deep forest of Chechnya. In the small room ventilated around, I saw Nick who was half-conscious. At this time, there was a burst of gunpowder outside, and Sarah was determined to take Nick away. Lying next to Nick’s ear, they said that they have a lovely daughter. He is a father...On the

white snow, the two helped each other and ran towards the base of the rescue organization. I thought everyone was happy, I thought it would be over...

Who knows, there are waves again. The armed officers and soldiers behind chased them. I don't know why these two people who have been tortured have to suffer the pain of parting again. Nick said to Julie, you go first, they won't kill me, I still have value. This once again gave me hope. I expected Sarah to escape first and find rescue as Nick said, and the two of them could meet again. But, but...

Sarah stood motionless, her right foot not stiff. Oh my god! I really don't want to believe my guess, it's really a landmine! I began to put my hands together in prayer, hoping for a miracle, maybe the mine won't explode, maybe someone pushed Sarah away, maybe...

"Boom!"...everything has become the past...



Does the price of love have to be so majestic?

Must the boundary of love be so transcended?

Does love have to be so painful?

I can't bear it, I can't give up...

    If you have been in Ethiopia, if you don't have so many stealing chickens and dogs, you will be speculative...

    The topic selection is quite fresh, and it is about international rescue organizations. Ethiopia, Cambodia and Chechnya in different eras have left traces of the love and work of the male and female protagonists. The political connotation is quite strong. Over a period of 20 years, any place that has been swept by communism needs rescue organizations to act... The plot also involves a little description of the rescue organization's involvement in espionage work, and the attitude is frank. The three different locations have obvious differences in the main color tone, but the difference in color tone does not match the mood of the male and female protagonists. The first two paragraphs also focus on the rescue work, and the third paragraph completely becomes the male and female protagonists. The life and death are separated, so this film is quite strange, it is still a big story background, and then tells an old-fashioned romance story. An unhappy combination~ This is nothing, the key is that the two just met, and the stinky Owen found an opportunity to talk to Julie, and Julie was moved by this simple statement, and became more and more convinced in the years to come. My marriage is ruined... This script makes the characters unattractive
