Roller's Silence

The film "The Silence of Rorna" (2007) by the famous Belgian director Dane brothers won the Best Screenplay Award at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and was selected as the top ten films of the 2008 "Cinebook". There are many films that reflect the theme of immigration, especially in the past ten years, when such excellent works have appeared frequently in Europe. The focus is mainly on the countries in Eastern Europe after the great changes. The Balkan countries are the main targets, while North African immigration is an old topic. North American topics like this are mainly focused on Central American immigration.

More than 20 years ago, I watched the "Green Card" filmed by French big-nosed Depardieu and American supermodel Andy, and laughed from beginning to end, so that people forgot the heavy topic of immigration. A few years ago, France also filmed "Eden in the West", which also set off a movie viewing frenzy in the form of comedy. But the Darney brothers are obviously not masters at creating comedy. They prefer to reflect reality slowly and strive to dig deeper. "Beautiful Rosetta" and "The Child" both earned them two Palme d'Or, bringing them to fame.

"The Silence of Rorna" instills the plot into the audience little by little, and then narrates the situation of the heroine Rorna. With the attitude of a fierce neo-realist, he explores the real situation, and let the details answer, in order to build a new A classic human dilemma. In fact, they filmed "The Commitment" in 1996 and began to discuss the topic of immigration.

One of the brothers, Jean-Pierre Darnay, once said: "I would say, I would like to understand people from other places, and we have to show how they came here and how they arrange their lives." Their uncompromising reality Visible. They continued the ideals of Desica's generation of European filmmakers. Such self-confidence, persistence and non-obedience are the precious qualities of a filmmaker. Although we couldn't laugh from beginning to end, and although the heavy lingering lingering from the beginning to the end of watching the movie, this does not prevent the continuous taste of the movie, which has quietly penetrated into the hearts of the people.

I learned from the Internet that a company executive, a couple of years ago immigrated to New Zealand with their children. After several years of hard work, their lives have greatly improved. First, they immigrated their sister and their family, and then immigrated their elderly parents. Over the past few years, my parents have requested that my brother and his family be immigrated. It would be endless if he started that one, which made him and his wife exhausted, and even sighed: why should there be any need in the past.

In this world, as long as there are rich and poor, as long as there are sharp ideological confrontations, there will be people who want to improve the economy, pursue freedom and happiness through immigration. The question is how easy it is to say. There is no heaven even in the West, and many people in the West are still struggling. But there will still be people who are willing to pursue immigration and put it into practice, albeit at a high cost, and there will be people who take the risk and do whatever it takes.
