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???

    The film uses the subjective perspective of human beings to lead the audience to understand their psychological changes, the collapse and reconstruction of beliefs in this whole event. The theme of the film is very convincing, but the form of expression is lacking in tension. Too many other people's dialogue and the static description of the old eyes can only make the audience have their own experience. As for Israel, I have always had no sympathy for this country built on national beliefs after World War II. In the process of settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, it seems to have played a very positive role in promoting the atrocities against innocent civilians. As said in the film, "the victim will eventually become the executioner", oh, the cycle goes back and forth, never ending

    It is very compact, not boring for a moment, and at the same time it gradually reaches a climax, finally adding a heavy burden to the mind of the viewer at the last moment. Human nature is so beautiful, but in the end it is still distorted by absurd politics. In the last twenty minutes, my eyes filled with tears, and I almost cried a few times.

  • Said: Is it true that your father was Abul Azzam? They say he was a hero. You must be very proud of him.

    Suha: Rather than feeling proud I would prefer that he were alive.

    Said: Thanks to what he did our cause is still alive today.

    Suha: Well there are always other ways to continue the cause.

    Said: It's not our option. The occupation picks the direction of the resistance.

    Suha: Well resistance can go in a lot of directions. But we must realize they we just do not have any military clout here. So we have to find other alternatives.

    Said: And pay the price for our grandparents defeat? Accept the injustice?

    Suha: This discussion is obviously going no where...
