Director Emil Kusturica is a native of Yugoslavia. From the Tito era to the disintegration of the federation, the Emir born in 1954 has experienced all of them. This "Life is a Miracle" is a description of the Yugoslav civil war in 1992. A small village next to a railway in Serbia suffered a process of "baptism" during the war.
The protagonist, Luca, appears to outsiders as a happy father and husband, but in fact, his wife Kirdranka is willful, selfish, impulsive, neurotic, and his son has a high talent for football but was drafted into the army as a railway engineer Facing these messes, he was powerless and helpless. After experiencing his wife and lover's elopement and his son being captured by the enemy, Luca was almost desperate. At this time, the Mu woman Sabaha, who was rescued by him, was his own. The prisoner can be exchanged for the captured son, but from the first encounter between the two, it can be seen that falling in love is so simple, but Jiadranka also came back at this time, she can't be forgiven, and finally The two armies exchanged captives to usher in the end, and Sabah finally returned to Luca's side.
This is the first movie I watched Emil. To be honest, in the first half-hour description, it was difficult for me to enter the plot. It may be the strange dubbing I downloaded or the absurd plot, but it can be seen from the director's lens. The village is happy and peaceful, not at all like in a war-torn country, the world described by Emil is idealized, whether it is a bear eating people, or a mayor full of fat, he is humorously displayed.
And the most attractive is undoubtedly the donkey Milica who runs through the whole film. It has been silently watching the fate of the people in the play and arranged the progress of the story in a timely manner. It is a maverick donkey. Lost in love and wanted to commit suicide, witnessed the love between Luca and Sabaha in the middle, and finally saved Luca, who was lost in love and wanted to commit suicide, this is a wonderful animal, and the whole film is not short of wonderful animals, Croatia The bear who came to eat people, the mouse who made Luca and Sabaha meet for the first time, the cow cat and the pastoral dog who always observed the love between Luca and Sabaha, and the chick that broke its shell before the war. And whether it is the life born before the war, the life that survived the fire of the war, or even the love that emerges, it is a "miracle of life" that is alive and well. But after the baptism of war or twists and turns, I will have a deeper feeling! Luca met his Sabah, and so will we!
The film "Underground" has always been on the list of movies I want to watch. After watching this film, I have the idea of looking for the resources of "Underground" immediately, and I want to know more about the director's unique expression method to show the war again. people's art.
PS: This movie must find excellent subtitles. The subtitles I am looking for are a headache?
