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?

    In a film that reflects racial conflicts and religious wars, this work is very special, with a sense of presence that takes the audience on a journey. The shots are very realistic, without too much deliberate artistic processing (almost the style of Yang Dechang's "Yi Yi").

    The last 3 letters are really suffocating to read; the best thing in the world is being together. The story is cruel. Why not choose silence? Because she was in the last moment of her life, she was happy. She loves all her children.
