Religion is maddening.

A bungalow with poor equipment, Middle Eastern people (the film does not specifically mention what kind of race they are, let's call it Middle Eastern), a group of soldiers in civilian clothes use electric shavers to trim the children's haircuts, and carefully observe the children's behavior: There was no coquettish obedience during the haircut, and then I listened to the scraping noise of the electric blade on the scene. The sound was not monotonous. During the period, the child did not cry, and the atmosphere was dead. Further, I looked at the bruises and bruises on the child's face. Corporal punishment, the film that cuts off at the beginning uses a single repetitive action, as well as the sound of the motor turning, which is not worthy of the sobbing string theme soundtrack, which condenses the children in the chaos of the war. The master in charge of the future is not a book. Ben went to school, but was helpless to pick up a firearm to learn to kill the so-called hostile faction.

In the eyes of the twins, their mother, Nawai, is difficult to get close to. The mother's last wish is to find her long-lost father and brother, and to hand them a handwritten letter. Jeanne has the advantage of being calm and composed; Simon is impulsive and irritable, and Jeanne is looking for her mother across borders. A suitable candidate for the important task, the daughter has since stepped into her mother's hometown, and found that the secretary who has served in the law firm for 18 years is not a mere background, but a legend who has experienced vicissitudes of life.

The refugee whose family believes in religion is regarded as inferior, but it is Nawai's lover. The family members shot the lover in front of Nawai because of the reason that they cannot be married by marriage. She was heartbroken and cried to her grandmother that she had a man's flesh and blood, Resolutely to give birth, the baby boy was born smoothly, scissors cut the umbilical cord, this scene is complete with sound and picture, completely exposed (the theater lady exclaimed, visible shock) Cutting the umbilical cord is to ensure that the baby can breathe after leaving the womb, without the need for a tube Delivering blood nutrients to survive, this cut symbolizes the Nawai family's decision to keep the mother and not the child. The mother covered her face with cotton fabrics, giving birth to her lover's posthumous son, but the family despised the sons of inferior races, and I can't change the dogma I have believed in for a long time and established that I am the only one The true God of truth, other sects are shamed by bulls, ghosts and snakes.

The mother traveled thousands of miles to find her son with three dots tattooed on the bottom of his left foot. She covered the bottom of her face with a purple scarf, put on a cross, and took a coach. Unfortunately, she was intercepted by several standard men. They were not looking for money. They want to bloodbath the apostates, the bullets fly, the flies quickly lick the wounds of the corpse, the enemy uses gasoline to burn the coaches in order not to leave alive, and to easily deal with the corpse, between life and death, Nawai holds the cross high, calling himself a Christian ally , Based on the mother's nature and the regret that she kissed her newborn son and was taken away by her grandmother, Nawai forcibly took away the crying little girl. She rescued the little girl of the same clan. The mother and daughter just survived the disaster, and the daughter was reluctant to give birth to her mother. Getting rid of strangers, rushing to the mother in the sea of ​​fire, the enemy shot and killed the little girl, she was shot and fell to the ground and confessed to the telescopic lens. The director felt that it would be unbearable to interpret the turning point of life and death and the inability to give up the flesh and blood in a close-up lens! Sandy's profile shows that Nawai didn't want to die in vain when he lifted up the holy object that symbolized Jesus Christ's death for us, his face was blue, and he shouted that I am a Christian, and the religious identity that has changed is not to defend himself for many years. The change of religion is to survive, and to play the role of motherhood regardless of race and religion; compared with another plot, a sniper with a small flat head shoots a child bowing in the back of a rotten car, and the flat hair is an adult totalitarian rule under the guise of religion The smothering means of the next, the army trains children to become jihad weapons from a young age, the juvenile sniper takes pride in shooting children for meritorious service, the close-up of the blood of the children once again frightens the audience, and the close-up top-down shooting is needed. , If not, how can you accuse the brutal reality of war?
