Suffering from insomnia in the middle of the night, I got up and watched "Scorched Earth", a movie suitable for quietly watching alone in the middle of the night. When I saw half of it, or even more than half, I thought it was a movie about religion and war. Until the end of the movie, I learned the truth for a long time and could not recover from the shock of being slapped inexplicably. Yes, This state is called "aphasia". This is not so much a movie about war and religion, but a story about the absurd and tragic life of a woman against the background of war.
Through the twins’ search for father and brother to fulfill the mother’s last wish, the film continues to recount what happened during the mother’s hard search for his son 35 years ago. The alternation of time and space brings the truth of the whole story to the surface. What came was also shockingly cruel.
[Singing Woman]
35 years ago, in a small southern town, Nawa Marvin, a Christian, fell in love with a Muslim refugee and became pregnant. How could two serious conflicting races live in harmony during the war? Nawa’s behavior made the Marvin family Ashamed, on the day of the elopement, after the lover was shot headshot by her brother, the desperate Nawa accepted the arrangement of her grandmother: gave birth to the child, went to Dahesh to go to school alone to learn French, and the child was sent to the local Orphanage. The war was raging, and one day it burned to a small town in the south. Nawa always cared about her son. So in the early morning, she embarked on the road to return to her hometown to find a child. In the scorched earth devastated by war, Muslims retaliated against Christians and attacked the entire town. She witnessed radical Christians shooting a car full of Muslims and setting them on fire. Under the scenes of tragedies, Nawa stood on the side of Muslims. Taking advantage of the opportunity to teach the son of the rightist Christian militia leader’s son, the leader was assassinated, but the price was heavy-Nava Marvin was imprisoned in Kafaliat Prison for 15 years, and during 15 years she suffered from small prisoners. Tortured, she was called a prisoner in room 72, a woman who sang, was raped by Abou Tarek, who specializes in torturing prisoners, and gave birth to twins Jem Marvin and Simon Marvin. When Jan traced back here, she originally thought that she was a Muslim refugee It was the father's twins that Abou Tarek was his father.
[The disappeared father and brother]
When Muslims attacked the small town, no Christians were spared, except for the children in the orphanage. This is the content played in slow motion at the beginning of the movie. The Muslim leader Zhan Xiding took away the children from the orphanage and included them in the Muslim The armed camp received training, and Nawa’s son Nihad was among them and became an excellent Muslim sniper. Nihad was also looking for his mother, so he was willing to become a martyr so that his pictures could be spread all over the country for his mother to see, but in the end, the enemy invaded, trained him to be a Christian, and sent him The Cavaliat Prison takes care of the prisoners, and at the same time, Nihad changed his name to Abou Tarek...
[Looking for the twins of father and brother]
The younger sister witnessed the process of her mother’s mental disorder, so she was much more active than Simon in finding her father. Simon, who initially thought her mother was crazy, finally embarked on the process of finding her brother with the encouragement of her sister’s actions. When Simon, who had first learned the truth, repeatedly chanted "One plus one, can it equal one?", Jane suddenly became frightened and took a breath. The truth came so unexpectedly, I only guessed that the twins belonged to Abou Tarek. My child, never thought it was his younger sibling...
In the end, Nihad received two letters from Nawa, one to his father and one to his brother. It is hard for me to know what kind of mood Sydneyhard will live after reading these two letters. But surely as his mother said, he will sink down. The tragedy of war and history made my brother a father. I dare not think about the feelings of any one of the parties. This heavy sadness lingers in my heart, and I dare not look back again...
