I don't know how to write this movie. Before this, I just watched the Oscar best screenplay film "The Untouchable She" and the best foreign language film "Roman Ukiyo-e", but for me, the outbreak of this film is much more infectious. "Untouchable She" is a prophecy movie, "Roman Ukiyo-e" is like a prose to tell life, and the background of the movie is set in the Bosnian war in the early 1990s. The real history belongs to the history of Sarajevo. This The poignant capital of Bosnia and Helgovina.
Even if you don't read history well, when you hear Sarajevo, you will think of the fiery mud-colored life of men and women at the end, and the love between the Italian girl Gemma and the American photographer Diego in the movie completely captures the impression of this city. They fell in love at first sight, as if born for this love, unwilling to separate.
"Love only come once. It moves like the sea, but it's always the same" but that's only the first half of the movie.
The charm of Sarajevo only exploded after the appearance of Aska, a Sarajevo girl with dyed red hair. Aska is beautiful and sexy, and she simply loves music. When she is young, she has no intention of organizing a family and living for herself. But when Gemma asked Diego:
"Do you love her?" Diego answered "how can I not love her?" I was heartbroken for Gemma.
Gemma didn't know at the time that Diego's love was not betrayal, but guilt and pity. The moment he tattoos Aska with the rose, he tells her that the rose represents a new beginning, even though the city is broken.
Aska asked American Diego: "Where were you hiding?" Actually, he asked the international community at that time.
I went home to learn about the Bosnian War. Like World War I and World War II, millions of lives were controlled by the so-called political ideals of a few people. It was the war with the most serious casualties in modern times. The most irritating thing was the incompetence of the international community and the incompetence of the United Nation at that time. Seeing the Srebrenica massacre incident, genocide can actually happen in the "safe area" of the United Nation, and the dry food that the US military sent to Sarajevo at that time was actually leftover biscuits from the 1960s. . . That generation of Sarajevans was pitiful.
However, they are not sad, they are romantic, they bravely pursue their ideals, they dare to love, they play music, they write poetry, they live for life, they die for death, they pursue freedom, and they know how to be grateful. The humanistic customs of Sarajevo are yearning for the world.
I am reminded of Gu Cheng's "A Generation": The
night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light.
