The meaning beyond licking chrysanthemum is more worthy of aftertaste

Just looking at the movie, it is carried out by two lines, one is about the impact of the security situation in the United States on the Muslim world since September 11, and the other is about the life pursuit of a person in a culturally disadvantaged area.

The first one is written for Americans. It is an emotional line that is completely interpreted according to American thinking. Simply put, it is a deep-seated licking chrysanthemum. The phrase "I love American" appears in the film at the right time, which obviously satisfies the American audience. (Of course I also like the United States, but this sentence can not be said in the film: everyone can see that you like the United States, and it is a bit nauseous to emphasize it again and again) In short, the meaning of this line is to say: You see I still love you Yes, 9.11 was done by a small number of bad guys. It has nothing to do with me. I have suffered so much and still love you. Is it difficult for me to say?

Article two, father. The father represents a lot in the movie, the origin of the nobility, the representative of the culture, and the love of the father. Genghis didn't realize the identity and value that his father brought him. On the contrary, he saw the decline, and his heart was full of longing for Western scientific material civilization. When his girlfriend knew that his father was a poet, she was surprised, but Genghis found it hard to move. As a photographer of a wealthy businessman, she understood the preciousness of human values, knew that money was easy to get, and culture was hard to find, so she was amazed and surprised by Genghis. Puzzled. It was not until another writer (publisher?) pointedly pointed out that he was too embarrassed to his father and slowly began to rethink his life value, only to find that his father did not fail as he thought. On the contrary, as a poet, he used his hometown. For the soil, his life is fresh and real.

His father questioned his work, his girlfriend and writers’ respect for his father, and the deterioration of the American living environment after 9.11. He found his home in the Great Mosque in Istanbul and recognized that in addition to material civilization and scientific civilization The value of humanities and regional civilization, so he understood his father’s question: What are you going to do?

    The story of the post-9/11 Middle East’s broken American dream, the handsome guy in the Middle East did not go to the opposite side of the United States, and set off round after round of high-IQ revenge. Just like the final outcome of the film, the director stood on the side of the post-9/11 Middle East civilians and scolded the United States Human stereotypes and preconceived criminal convictions. If the rhythm is tighter and the cold violence is not so stereotyped, the film will go to a higher level.
