Therefore, this happened in just one night. To a certain extent, a gendarme caught a local murderer, handed him over to a French village teacher, and asked to be sent to a nearby town for judgment. Foretells the inevitability of war.
Director David Okhoffen extended this short story in both time and space, drastically cutting the role of the gendarmerie, and adapting it into a story of a fugitive duo with the temperament of a western film. He used it as a script and filmed himself. The second feature feature film "Far from the People". American actor Vigo Mortensen, who speaks fluent Spanish and French, became the country teacher Daru in Camus’s novels, and Reda Kateb, who played Algerian natives in many French films, was the one who was punished in the novel. Mohamed who was hunted down for sex law and family rules. The primitive clan laws and the laws of the colonial sovereign state, the tribe’s pursuit of criminals and the French army’s strangulation of guerrillas, came together at an embarrassing point in time and became a terrible obstacle for Daru to complete the transfer task and Mohamed to survive. .
Vigo Mortensen's determined face is very suitable for the desolate and rugged sand dunes of North Africa. He is destined to be a ruthless character with a violent history. Sure enough, the two fleeing guerrillas fell into the hands of the National Liberation Front guerrillas. When hiding in the cave, one soldier came forward to salute. It turned out that in the Italian battlefield of World War II, Daru was the commander of these French foreign legions. Today, they have become revolutionaries desperate to overthrow the French colonists.
Of course, Daru doesn't think he should be an enemy, or even a Frenchman. He was born in Algeria, and his parents as pioneers were also buried in Algeria. This is his hometown. He, like Camus who created him, is a pied-noir that he wore when he landed in North Africa. The real characters in this list also include: Louis Althusser, Edith Piaf, Yves Saint Laurent, Jacques Derrida...
They were all members of North Africa until May 8, 1945. On this day, the Allies and the masses frantically celebrated the victory of the hard-won anti-fascist war in Paris and major French cities and towns, but the citizens of Setif in eastern Algeria took to the streets for another purpose. They wishful thinking that after sending the young children to the European battlefield and paying a heavy price, de Gaulle should grant them independence; they also demanded the release of the leader of the Algerian People’s Party (PPA) Messali Hadj. After watching the demonstrators wave the green and white star and moon flag (now the Algerian flag) of the "illegal organization" PPA, the military police monitoring the parade fired in panic and attracted the French residents living upstairs on the street. Also fired at the crowd, and a melee inevitably began. 102 Europeans were killed, and the French army immediately retaliated and even used planes to carry out bombings. Exactly how many Algerians died in the massacre is a considerable error in the data on both sides. French historians believe that there were only 1,500 people, but the Algerian data insisted on 45,000 people.
"Tunisia, Morocco, we can make them independent. But Algeria is another matter, this is originally a place in France." A French officer once insisted. General Duval, who ordered the massacre, reported his work without shame when he was old: "My decision has delayed the independence movement for 10 years." In
recent years, excellent works on the entangled relationship between France and Algeria are not uncommon. . The three brothers in "Outside the Law" in 2010, after the massacre passed, the boss became a member of the resistance movement and was arrested and sent to Paris for detention; the second child joined the French army and participated in the Vietnam War. The Three World Brothers returned to China through education; the youngest became the most daring gambler in the underground boxing match. They started in Marseille, fighting for survival, and eventually became the most influential Algerian gang. Another masterpiece of the same year, "Man and God", was set in the 1990s. The eight French Cistercian monks who remained there after the war became tragic victims after negotiations between the government and terrorists broke down.
And this "Far from Human Tracks", which is set in the same mountainous area, uses a clever technique of "clear purification" to eliminate the more complicated historical background, and puts the character in a powerless, yet repeated hunting. In the game, the colonizers and the descendants of the colonized are even kindly sublimated into common brothers and sisters in western films. It's a pity that that is destined to be only wishful thinking. The true history outside of Camus's novels is written by corpses covering the wilderness.
