Writing such a deeply touching film is always incoherent, and I was probably stunned when the guy named Said was told that he was going to be a human bomb tomorrow. The organization told him that you go tomorrow. There was light in his eyes, he agreed without hesitation, and he went to see his family one last time. Although this time, his love has just begun. What a sad night it was! He looked at his family he didn't know, his mother who was still busy and his younger brother who was still bickering with him. His eyes were so full of expression - of course I know this is a projection of my imagination, I can fully understand his mood , so I could feel the complex emotions in his eyes and the family he was staring at, but I really wanted to believe it. And when things go awry, his companion backs away, but he keeps moving forward—though he has a chance to give up, a chance to live, even though the love that has just begun beckons to him, but he gives up . He steps on a bus full of Israeli soldiers and that white light flashes - the story is only two days long, he's telling his girlfriend about his life and he has to be a martyr to wash him off Memories of refugee camps and the shame of my father as a traitor. As a result, the double-line narrative structure of the film has completely turned into a pseudo-double line. The director strongly guides the audience’s identification to Said, a young man who is completely different from the bin Laden-style terrorist we imagined, full of Human and affectionate terrorist. His actions were driven by his beliefs, but not entirely out of beliefs, but more out of his own desire for sacrifice. I saw his eyes sparkle.
It is strange that film director Hany Abu-Assad, an Israeli, made such a film from a Palestinian standpoint. The director's perspective is roughly from Suha's point of view, saying that Said's life is like "a Japanese avant-garde art film", and after repeated discussions, the outsider rewrote Khaled's outlook on life and Said was persuaded on a certain level. This clearly conveys the director's position, because Suha, who advocates peace and humanitarianism, is pro-Israel after all. She said, don't the Israelis killed by you have relatives and friends? Why must violence be used, she said? We can talk, she said - she was against Palestinian ultranationalism. But the director desperately directed the audience's identification to these two terrorists, and the message he was trying to convey was very clear: I hope both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can see it. Yes, we are all right, but history is wrong. We are caught in the torrent of history, we are carried, and we cannot help but continue down that road... In the repeated debate, the depth of the theme is no less than that of Ken Loach's Palme d'Or. The Wind Blows the Rice Waves".
I've seen a lot of Israeli short films, but this is the first time I've seen this angle. Suddenly, I found that all the narratives of CCTV collapsed in my heart. Oh, I heard too much, so much that I overlooked the other side of the truth that maybe it should have been. . The film spends a considerable amount of space talking about the relationship between Palestine and Israel, and bluntly points out that the Israelis are playing the roles of victims and executioners at the same time. Reflecting on extreme nationalism in Palestine. Moreover, the so-called firm belief is dispelled by Khaled's repetition and weakness, and the meaning of this action is dispelled by Said's relentless determination for other reasons. Yes, what's the use other than causing harm to relatives and friends, killing a few Israeli soldiers and giving Israel a pretext? Said's actions then point to a higher level of pursuit. The religious sentiments repeatedly exaggerated in the film and the resulting extreme nationalism are telling me that these things are called beliefs, but the director clearly tells us in the film that there is no heaven at all.
The film meticulously depicts the preparations for the action of these two innocent lads, who cut their hair, shave, change their clothes - all Arabs have been removed. They prayed, chanted, videotaped -- it was so good that the camera jammed, when so-called firm beliefs and oaths became ridiculous when they were repeated twice: when the gun was raised to take the oath, Khaled suddenly said, oh, Mom, next time you buy another kind of filter paper, that one is cheap - no wonder, that vow was originally an added constraint written on the paper, not from the heart. As the title and title say, Heaven is here. As everyone knows, this moment and the present world are heaven. What you said are floating clouds. What you call heaven, I really went. When the bomb went off, there were no angels and Allah. . That moment of white light -
I burst into tears without knowing it...
