Life or Career

This film from Norway has the same temperament as the Nordic climate. Like the professional war reporter who is the protagonist of the story, there is a calm, restrained, and plain taste.

The performance of the suicide bomber at the beginning of the film, the massacre in the concentration camp in the middle, and the re-presentation at the end. It shows the normal state of war reporters, objective, and merely a performance event. This is the basic requirement of journalists, but now it seems that those who can do it are not easy.

The dissolving transitions of the movie are wonderful. The heroine's mentality has changed twice. The first time she determined to return to the family, she returned to chaotic Africa because of her daughter. The second time I was determined to continue my unfinished shooting, and temporarily stayed because of my daughter's message. Because she loves this job so much and wants to take care of her family at the same time. The contradiction between work and family runs through the whole film. One's life may be to move forward in a constant dilemma.

The core of the film is actually a difficult choice in the work that I love and the home of my beloved family. In ancient China, there was a saying that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to balance. The danger and vulnerability of the occupation of battlefield work are more likely to cause physical and psychological trauma, as well as the psychological distress caused by the nature of the job to family members. It is not limited to the individual itself, but also has a subtle impact on the family environment.

There is no other way to solve it, either to accommodate family members or persist in work. When a person ends the years of a person's life, he has to give up something. Similarly, when you are determined to start a long life with a person, you must also understand what you have to tolerate. If that job is really the source of your life, even if you make a short determination to give up, you will still be obsessed with it. In fact, the best solution is to say and say: Long live understanding. Finally, the daughter also understood and chose to support.

Thank you for having such a group of people in the world who dare to show us the true face of the world in spite of danger and high pressure.
