The human tragedy under the war on the scorched earth

I came to see this movie in the name of Weishen. This is how a tragedy with a simple and bloody plot was made. . . Villeneuve is awesome, and such a narrative structure is difficult to shoot. Not only did he shoot well, but he also had a sense of suspense and artistry. There are not too many direct descriptions of war scenes, and the brutality of the war is vividly and profoundly shown with bland narratives. I feel that Villeneuve likes the side descriptions. There are not many war scenes in the whole film, but the whole article is full of denunciations of war. There are not too many frontal pictures of the prison, but the various sides show the harshness of this prison, and there is nothing about Nihad. close-up, various profiles showing the twist of the man.

Empty mirrors are excellent, whether indoors or outdoors, there is a large empty background, a minibus on a winding mountain road, and the long shot in the middle of the movie, books scattered on the ground under the cross, chairs scattered on the ground, broken lighting, wall tiles, windows, dining table These two empty scenes are particularly impressive, and the background BGM in the middle is also religious and solemn music, and I looked at the time progress bar. This section is right in the middle, with three soundtracks at the beginning, middle and end, symmetrical and exquisite. At the beginning, the eyes of the little boy and the soundtrack set the tone for the whole film. The desolate male voice at the beginning and the sad female voice at the end have a strong sense of religious solemnity. There are also many close-ups of the backs of the feet and legs, the part where Jenny and Simon come to the surface after the two babies fell into the water, and several swimming pool scenes are very heavy.

Under the skin of suspense is the search for relatives, and the skin of the search for relatives is wrapped in war, and war destroys human nature. Although it is a story of family search, all I see is the destruction of human nature by war, and it is not the destruction of bombs, but the corrosion of sulfuric acid. The figure of the little girl running towards the bus and falling down, and the image of Nihad hunting the child. War annihilates humanity, leaving the world no longer divided between adults and children, but only between enemies and us. War strengthens the shackles of hatred, which is more difficult to break, and human civilization and life are destroyed at the muzzle of a gun. Religious opposition and racial hatred are like knives in war. The more you fight, the deeper the hatred, and the deeper the hatred, the more the war will be expanded. The deeper and longer the war is, the more empathy and respect for life are lost, and people and animals are getting closer and closer.

Hatred of nationalists led her to throw herself into nationalist hatred. How many victims turn into perpetrators step by step, under the war there is nothingness, and anti-war is the eternal theme in the movie.
