The protagonist of the satellite
film, Satellite, is an indispensable figure in this village that seems to have only orphans and old people. Because he can install satellite pots and speak a few English words, he is regarded by the village as a key figure in the war.
Later, the brother and sister of the boy with the broken arm came, and the satellite fell in love with her sister at first sight and gave her a rope for free. After that, she still cared about her everywhere. He helped his sister fetch water and told her that today is a special day because I use this bicycle to fetch water for you. This is the first time, and it's just for you. People in this village use this bicycle to carry their daughter-in-law.
What a romantic language in these war years. Too bad he chose the wrong one. My sister is destined not to like the satellite. After the satellite said to her, "I have been waiting for a girl for several years, she is an orphan, it doesn't matter if you have two younger brothers, do you know such a girl or not", the girl just chose Carrying his own water and walking away, he didn't have any nostalgia for the satellite who was diving to prove himself in front of her.
Satellite entered the minefield in order to save his sister's younger brother (actually his son). One of his subordinates told him to let him go back, because his subordinate had a nightmare the night before, and satellite would have an accident. He was willing to save the child instead of satellite. . However, the satellite did not flinch and went to save the younger brother, and was injured in the leg by the explosion. Of course, I think it must also be because of my sister, but more importantly, his responsibility, he said that he has to be responsible for his children. It is also because of this that he has such prestige in this village. However, the night he was wounded, American soldiers came and brought him information on the landmine trade and a few red fish, which they said was American. The satellite was surprised and asked how the subordinate could speak English, and the subordinate said that it was taught by the satellite. In fact, what the satellite will say is just a few words to fool people. And those red fish faded after shaking a few times. I think they were just bought by my subordinates to comfort the satellites. At the end of the film, the satellite turned with his back to the American soldier on crutches, and another subordinate asked him, didn't he always want to see the American soldier? The satellite did not speak. I think the satellite used to think that the American soldiers would bring hope, but the result was war, and more endless despair.
elder sister
My sister is an empty soul, because she was bullied by several soldiers before. So she had a son she hated, and she and her disabled brother took the eye-sick son and called them their younger brother. And what she thought was to get rid of this son and brother, and go with the broken arm brother. So she would loosen the rope tied to her son's younger brother's feet in the middle of the night, so at the end of the film, she would tie her son's younger brother's feet with a big rock and push him down the river. And she herself finally jumped off the cliff and ended her soulless life.
The young man with a broken arm
has the ability to prophesy, but he is powerless to do everything he prophesied. He predicted a bomb on one of the trucks would go off, and all he had to do was leave with his sister and nephew. And his words were heard by the satellite's subordinates, so the satellite knew that he was the young man who could predict the future. He predicted war, predicted the arrival of the American soldiers, predicted how many days later there would be big events. However, after he predicted the death of his sister and nephew, he could only cry and search for their bodies. My sister said that every prophecy of a young man with a broken arm will bring bad luck. However, in this war era, what else can he predict except bad luck?
There are many teenagers with handicapped limbs in the film, because they make money by dismantling landmines and selling them to others. It will blow up your hands and feet, and even your life. But what are they missing is only the body?
