When I saw these scenes, I thought it was going to be a lighthearted movie, but then things took a turn for the worse, and the two were sent to carry out suicide bombings, and I suddenly realized that this is a story that takes place in Palestine , there, there is nothing light and funny at all.
So, I watched this two-hour film, even the subtitles at the end of the film, because I wanted to hear what kind of music the director would use to end the whole film. Obviously, the director and As heavy as I am, he didn't use any music as the background at the end of the film, just a black background color and white subtitles written in Arabic, at this time, I suddenly realized again that there seems to be no music in the whole film , the reason is still the same, in such a place, no matter what kind of music will appear very abrupt.
It's a very simple movie, so to speak, no complicated clues, no emotional entanglement, no intricate character relationships, no gun fights, no car chases, no nudity, just the crumbling cities of Palestine, blown up by artillery fire. Buildings full of holes, flying dust, passers-by in a hurry, and beards with weapons in their hands. However, the film is in the most subtle way, making people breathless again and again, such as the family dinner on the eve of the action; such as Said's younger brother's shirt; such as the cup of tea with four spoons of sugar at four in the morning; such as The last kiss of parting; like Said's bottomless but resolute eyes.
Said finally chose the opposite path from his father. He carried a bomb and got into a car full of Israeli soldiers. The camera zoomed in and only his eyes were on the screen. At this time, where is heaven? Where is Allah?
