The flower of love, breaking ground and blooming

This is not a complicated story, mother and daughter, past and present, mother and son, love and hate, the dual narrative axis is constantly interspersed, flashed back, and intertwined. On the bus of , there was a brief outbreak, but even the outbreak at this moment seemed deliberately subtle. Until the mother's calm assassination, the strong singing in the prison, and the cruel abuse, the description in the film is too brief, and it is simply like a hurricane. On the surface, the turbulence is slightly turbulent, but the dark tide is actually surging on the inside. The forbearance throughout the book seems to be accumulating strength for the last moment when the volcano erupts.
It's very strange, or maybe there is a deep evil in my heart, like the original sin of man, I was halfway through the story, and unexpectedly guessed the ending - although this is only one of my expectations - but in the middle of the story. The moment it gushed, it still completely defeated me. Even if I have laid down layers of levels in my heart, I am still shattered.
Revolutionaries, defenders, patriots, rebels, abusers, abusers, every heart beaten by the whirling wheels of war cannot be calmed down, whether it is ethnic conflicts, religious conflicts, territorial conflicts, etc. Wait, wait, once the smoke of war is ignited, and the bloody fire is over, everything will turn into scorched earth and return to nothingness. Even though the mother has crossed the road full of thorns and sufferings with the support of her ideals and love, but she does not want to go to the end, there is still a barren land in front of her. Echoes the title of the film: Scorched Earth City.
This is another incredible story. The truth is extremely cruel and bloodshed. Fortunately, until the last moment, the great mother's love washed away the ugliness in the son's heart, and forgiveness defeated hatred. On the scorched city full of violence, the flower of love Strongly broke through the deeply buried ruins, budding. The son is watching at the tomb of his mother, and the mother's love has been exchanged for self-salvation. I am very happy. This is a hopeful ending.
The only thing that makes me a little regretful is that the screenwriter's idea is to express a grand theme and great love, but obviously this arrangement is a bit too deliberate. But it still can't cover up too many twists and coincidences in the plot, which is why I can only give a four-point evaluation.

    Recently, I have become more and more fond of watching the works nominated for the annual best foreign language film, and there are many excellent works. The ending is a little weak, but overall very good!

    "Silence is all truth. And the best thing is to be together." Three nights, falling asleep several times in the middle, but the story is always fascinating. About war, religion, killing, faith. How tangled and twisted this woman's life has been. It's too important to watch the spoiler without being cheap before watching the movie, and the thrill of opening Gu at the end is quite shocking.

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.
