war never wonders

Such a movie with a funny name and great reviews, when I opened it up as a weekend comedy, I was gripped by its heaviness and brutality. The real point of war is not the heavy weapons that are overwhelming, nor the climax of the TV broadcast, nor the legendary heroic story of turning the tide, but the generations of people who continue to hit the hearts and bodies of the common people. Intractable wounds. How many civilians lost their limbs or their lives when the statue of a big man was finally dismantled? Praying for an abrupt end to the war is like imagining that turtles can fly.

The protagonists of the film are a group of children. The 'big and bold' kid, nicknamed 'Satellite', is good at installing antennas and satellite TVs, wears a pair of glasses, has long legs, knows a little bit of English, is good at reselling, and is a refugee who can hardly find strong men. In the camp, there was quite an attitude of giving up on me. The name is 'Satellite', but it is actually a 'star', behind a group of small attendants, the image is reminiscent of another child king - Jean Reno when he was a child in "Blue Sea and Blue Sky". The absolute authority of 'Satellite' is threatened for the first time after the arrival of an armless boy... Such a film from a children's perspective will not lack the innocence of children. The children in suffering are headed early, but this does not prevent them from finding their childhood in a scorched earth, because this is what they should do at their age.

This is also the director's wisdom: no one wants to suffer in a boring movie, and making fun of bitterness makes the bitterness even more bitter.

Then we saw more details. They evolved their own means of survival in the ruins, picking up metal in the war ruins, carrying bullet casings that could explode at any time, losing arms and legs, and rubbing shoulders with death. And passed. If so, they can still survive hard, then the wounds in their hearts seem to never heal, and they will eventually be crushed. The armless boy's sister made the 'Satellite' dream about, but the faces of the brother and sister always had a melancholy that only adults can have. What the 'Satellite' did not know was that the blind boy on the girl's back was not her 'brother', but was raped by soldiers on the day the village was bloodied. The boulder in her heart made her unable to breathe, she did not want to face countless tomorrows, and finally left this sinful world with her child in the fall...

Falling, in the same direction as gravity, is like giving up and continuing to struggle in reality. 'Satellite' childhood ended that day, and the war continued.
