Afghanistan, the Taliban, Osama, these words that sound familiar but are actually unfamiliar to me, deeply attracted me to buy the DVD and couldn't wait to finish watching the film. I have to admit that I have a strong curiosity about a troubled people, and this curiosity can even be called peeping, because for such a people who are immersed in religious customs and appear wicked in the eyes of outsiders, it is It is difficult to be faced by others, and the Taliban itself has an erratic guerrilla nature, so I had to peep, and at the same time with a little awe at a distance. It's a very strange feeling, as we are now not mentioning the massive movement that took place in China for more than 30 years. "Unforgettable but forgivable", quoted Mandela's words at the beginning, which seemed to provide some annotation to my feelings, as if all human sorrows and misfortunes would be buried in the ruins of history, the wars And turmoil seems to be an old trace that can easily be erased from a peaceful and prosperous world.

In the power of politics, there is an air of deceitful power, and when it displays its fists and feet under the protection of religion, it inevitably reveals its evil side. The old man wrapped in a Muslim turban in the film was lying on the sentencing bench, especially like the gangster leader of the old underworld. In the name of Allah, he announced a series of punishment results according to the law of the Taliban, including the execution of a foreign journalist. Bury a cheating woman alive and convict the 12-year-old heroine to a rich man as a concubine. "Death is the punishment for the infidels", plundering rights through violence and then being alienated by religion, which is quite evil in itself. There was an incomparably sinister smell at the sentencing conference, which made me forget that the story told in the film took place today in the 21st century, more like it happened thousands of years ago.

After watching the whole film, it's like uncovering the sand towels tightly wrapped around the heads of those Muslim women, to find out their true colors, and what I saw was a miserable face full of holes, which made people fall. It's worth taking a breath of cold air, but at the end, there was no chance to breathe. The heroine was led home by the rich old man, a huge petty lock locked her in the room, and the old man performed a hypocritical and dirty baptism outside the house. Then he walked towards the room naked, when the camera went dark and the film ended, that darkness was the irreversible fate of the girl.

The film is adapted from a true story. Through the tragic experience of a twelve-year-old girl, it reveals the tragic living conditions of Afghan women under the Taliban regime. As a very targeted film, its purpose is to make the Taliban It is said that this is the first real Afghan film after the fall of the Taliban regime, and its significance is undoubtedly very important.

Similar to movies from other third world countries, the use of the camera lens is extremely clumsy, I think it should be a faithful record without all technical means, documentary style, it is more appropriate to call this simple, a little shaky, like photography The division stumbles from time to time on the bumpy streets of Kabul. That road is definitely not easy to walk. Maybe it is like the democratic road that Afghanistan will take in the future.
