not so good

The Palestine-Israel conflict has attracted global attention as a hot-spot issue. Anyone can speak and understand the big truth. However, it is not something that can be easily resolved, nor can outsiders intervene. It still requires the efforts of the two peoples.

The film is more documentary, more preaching, the plot is not attractive, and it is not in line with the psychology of ordinary audiences (unless they are film professionals and people who are very concerned about the Palestinian-Israeli political situation), I would prefer to see the whole process of the suicide bombing. The original state of the record, I look forward to that kind of real shock, but unfortunately in this film there are only reasons and no results, very disappointed.

The popularity of the film is inseparable from the popularity and humanistic feelings of the subject matter, but I don’t think the film itself is that good. Too much attention is paid to the “human nature” of the two protagonists. I don’t know if this is the prototype of the real world. I feel that they should not It is right to think so much, and the shapes behind the two obviously return to the actors themselves, which affects the persuasiveness.

    When is the time for retribution?

  • Lucie 2022-03-26 09:01:14

    The film uses the subjective perspective of human beings to lead the audience to understand their psychological changes, the collapse and reconstruction of beliefs in this whole event. The theme of the film is very convincing, but the form of expression is lacking in tension. Too many other people's dialogue and the static description of the old eyes can only make the audience have their own experience. As for Israel, I have always had no sympathy for this country built on national beliefs after World War II. In the process of settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, it seems to have played a very positive role in promoting the atrocities against innocent civilians. As said in the film, "the victim will eventually become the executioner", oh, the cycle goes back and forth, never ending
