This film completely broke through my perception of film. In addition to using documentary techniques to shoot a true feature film, it also has too much to share.
Regarding foreign movies, one of the most common words we say is "shows the exotic atmosphere of the region..." But in the face of such a movie depicting Afghanistan, such a sentence seems too weak. It doesn’t mean anything to show the status quo of Kandahar to the world. We can read from Abbaschiarostami’s lens that he deeply loves the Iranian land, and from Makmabaf, I just look at it. When it comes to calm, real, and even cruel.
A boy who recites various weapon materials while reciting the Koran, a child playing a game with puppets and local mines, a child guide with stubborn eyes flashing, a handicapped who resells prosthetics, lies full of lies...
When we discuss Kandahar, we always discuss the ravages of war on them, the backwardness of fundamentalism, the lack of modern civilization... In fact, there is such a place in China, although there is no war spreading there, but it is also accompanied by these problems, that is Liangshan. , Our thinking about the Liangshan problem also stays on this side of the problem, hoping that modern civilization will lead it out of backwardness, but from the other side, does modern civilization itself have its own problems? Emphasizing progress may be a kind of interruption and confrontation. Maintaining and changing the balance is a long-lasting proposition in the depths of the soul.
