Remember the origin of the name "Elephant" at the 56th Cannes Palme d’Or in 2006? Director (screenwriter) Gus Van Sant said that the idea for the title came from Alan Clarke’s short story of the same name in 1989 In violent movies, the word "elephant" means something metaphorically huge that we all see and we all choose to ignore (If an elephant appears in the room, then because it is so huge, although everyone has seen it, everyone I choose to ignore it consciously.) The
end-of-film tank is in a sunny sunflower field with a drooping head, and that’s what it means.
The relationship between war and humans is like disease, eternal hatred, and can’t escape. . I personally think this is the best film depicting war themes since
"Borderland" . It was shocking. A pair of eyes pointed directly at people's hearts, warriors, "terrorists", children, mothers, captives... …I can’t describe, I choose to be speechless.
