Let's make the explosion more violent!

After watching the film, what attracted me the most was that when the film was about to end, the shaman was sitting on a bus with many Israeli soldiers. His deep tunnel eyes seemed to express his complex and contradictory heart. world. When I usually watch the news, I always see suicide bombing incidents in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After the film, I feel more than that, imagine when the enemy of our country, such as Japan fifty years ago, when the strength of the enemy is far higher than us, we are for our own country, for our own share Living space, what kind of resistance path will we choose, just like today we don’t understand why the Palestinians use suicide bombings to fight against Israel, we Chinese fifty years ago are actually just as different as today’s Palestinians. For outsiders to understand, the only difference is: we use millet and rifles, while Palestine uses suicide bombings. It cannot be denied that this method hurts innocent people more than millet rifles, but when your country and your brothers and sisters are stronger than you When slaughtered by 10,000 times as many invaders, I thought maybe any means of resistance would be justified. I am not a violent person, but I do not oppose the use of violence in times of national hatred and family hatred. Maybe my words do not reflect the true intention of the director, but after watching this film, I hope everyone will think about it: if this is the Our own country, how will we choose to fight? Now that the world is peaceful and there are many angry youths, if we become the meat of the foreign powers again, how many angry youths will be like shamans???

    With zero contact with 'terrorists', is death worth it? Let's take a look at the experience of being a 'meat bomb'. The fate of a small person reflects the belief, dignity and redemption of a nation.

    It seems that everyone is impressed by the flash at the end, but the scene that attracts me the most is that after the protagonist lets go of the bus, the protagonist's dark face is finally illuminated by the sun, which is full of symbolism.

    Car Owner: Maybe, but it's still crooked.

    Khaled: It's straight at a ruler.

    Car Owner: Go get Abu Salim. He'll tell you.

    [he takes a level and gives it to Khaled, who checks it]

    Car Owner: So who's cross-eyed now?

    Said: You are, sir. See? The ground's uneven, but the bumper's straight.

    Car Owner: Are you trying to screw me over? I can see it myself.

  • Khaled: Israel views partnership with and equality for the Palestinians under the same democratic system as suicide for the Jewish state. Nor will they accept a two-state compromise even though that is not fair to the Palestinians. We are to either accept the occupation forever or disappear. We've tried with all possible means to end the occupation with political and peaceful means. Despite it all, Israel continues to build settlements, confiscate land, Judaize Jerusalem and carry out ethnic cleansing. They use their war machine and their political and economical might to force us to accept their solution: that either we accept inferiority, or we will be killed.
