some thinking

Embers After War, is an anti-war film (now past and future, most war films are ongoing. This one is set after the war) but the time span and the weight of the story make the overall feel heavier, reachable The final state of aphasia.

This is the opposite of the "last minute rescue" type of editing, which is a known state and is suitable for use in genre films that mobilize the audience's nerves (while the war is going on).

The specific narrative is suspenseful, with the location of the mother as a clue, and the process of "searching for the father and the brother" and the encounter of the mother are chosen to cross-present, which enriches the amount of information in the story. The narrative chosen for this film is that the ending brings everything together, and the moment when the truth is revealed is a powerful moment.

It is speculated that the script writing of this film should start from the theme, the theme is the influence of war and religion on individuals, and the development of the story line refers to the fate and tragedy of Oedipus.

The innovative part is in the twins. The film is also developed through the perspective of the twins, who are clearly at the center of the story whirlpool, so the choice of narrative perspective is appropriate. In the character setting, the younger brother is a small resistance to the development of the story. Perhaps the disadvantage is that it is a little tooled, and it is also a side branch of the tree. It can also be established by deleting the character story. His reluctance to find out was emotional, without further enriching the reasons for what he was, but it was also plausible. He is resistance, he has emotions, and his identity is the foreshadowing. My sister is a math genius with a matching temperament. It is the "1+1=1" that suddenly discovers the truth and the impetus that she is willing to use mathematical thinking to explore the truth under the persuasion of her math tutor. It is worth thinking about, will there be a better setting for roles and occupations?

    Well, the ending is bloody enough, and RH's music is also very harmonious in it. The plot kinda reminds me of Minato Kanae's "Atonement". .

    The first time I watched it, I didn’t know the ending, and I was completely shocked by the plot. The second time I watched it, I focused on the film itself. When I looked closely at how the director used a ruthless method to unravel a cruel and desperate tragedy, it seems that the spoiler has a good side; After exhausting my whole life, I finally found you" "The most beautiful thing in the world is to be together" I can't stop my tears, but I also found that Radiohead's songs were so appropriate in this heart-wrenching movie | 20180119@ Studio Films Revisited for the Second Time

Incendies quotes

  • Notary Jean Lebel: Will of Mrs. Nawal Marwan... To Notary Jean Lebel: Bury me with no casket, no prayers, naked, face down, away from the world. Stone and epitaph. I want no gravestone, nor my name engraved anywhere. No epitaph for those who don't keep their promises. To Jeanne and Simon: Childhood is a knife stuck in your throat. It can't be easily removed. Jeanne, Mr Lebel will give you an envelope. The envelope is for your father. Find him, and give it to him. Simon, the notary will give you an envelope... The envelope is for your brother. Find him, and give him the envelope. When the envelopes have been delivered you will be given a letter. The silence will be broken, a promise kept, and you can place a stone on my grave and on it engrave my name in the sun.

  • Notary Jean Lebel: Death is never the end of the story. It always leaves tracks.
