You are a sacrifice to the times

It's been a long time since I played the pianist that I haven't gone to see such a sad movie.
Also based on the volatile Arabian Peninsula, Oscar's best "The Hurt Locker" is more like a war documentary, and will not generate too strong sense of substitution, while in "Heaven Now", it follows two ordinary people. "Human Bomb", I often think about what it would be like if I was strapped with bombs on my body and went back and forth between life and death. The threat of death would make me anxious and maddened like the sword of Damocles hanging over my head. .
The lively and warm-blooded Khaled among the two is exactly the classic image in his mind of all religious fanatics and people who act like people. Such people exist no matter what country or era they are in, just like the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution - the leader The words are all right, the leader wants to fight the bulls, ghosts and snakes, the leader wants to smash all art and culture, Allah wants to fight jihad, Allah wants to kill infidels, Allah wants revenge... So the cannon fodder buried the meaning of life and held high The Sword of Allah went one after another. Fortunately, in the end, he finally reminisced about the joy and happiness of his birth, and turned his back. The process of unloading the explosives seemed to complete a ritual, a ritual of transformation. He seemed to understand what the true will of Allah was.
And another person, Said, whose calm surprised me from the beginning, such a mild-mannered person, is so different from the extremists who clamored for ak47 in the base videotape, why should he be bombarded? And after shaved, Said's temperament is closer to the Jews, and the hero's daughter may love this serenity in him. The more the film goes on, the more he feels that it is impossible for him to die for the great purpose of those so-called religious nations. He seems to have understood that this kind of action will never have any impact on Israel's high-handed policy. It is just another meaningless death. .
When he saw Said returning to his warm home, sitting under the white wall full of sunshine and twigs, and his mother gently pulling home, he realized that what he really cared about was his family. In order to wash away the humiliation brought about by his traitorous father, and to let his family stand upright and live in an Islamic society where reputation is higher than life, he chose the method that his compatriots can agree with the most. At the moment when the screen turned white, my brain Zhong is also pale, the ridicule, depression, relief, resentment, and regret accumulated in the previous dozens of minutes all boiled down to a deep sense of powerlessness.
Step by step on the altar, without looking back-----Look! Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. From the Gospel of John

Paradise Now quotes

  • Jamal: Do you remember the martyr Abul Azzam? He was very security minded. He said, if you fear death you're already dead. If you don't, you'll have a sudden and painless death. He drove the Mossad crazy. They spent millions trying to capture him. When they surrounded him, and he knew his fate was sealed, he opened the door and shouted, you've come to late!

  • Said's Mother: [to her son talking with his mouth full] Turn off that radio in your mouth.
