transcendent and unsurpassed

I really don't understand why the heroine has to step on an inexplicable landmine in the end, creating an unforgettable, tragic and romantic separation. This landmine would be better even if the lovers stepped on it when they rushed to the disaster area with relief supplies! It happened to step on it when fleeing the disaster area for love.
I have always felt that love in the movie has a deeper meaning than ordinary life, just like the unfortunate death of an illness in order to save the plague in "The Veil", and the death of one's life before another in "Titanic". The lover in "Beyond the Boundary" died unjustly, neither to save the refugees, nor to prolong the life of the lover. Why waste film for such a story, go to the emotional gold issue of the morning paper!

Aside from the above attacks and ridicules, this film truly reproduces the misfortune brought by war and disease to human beings, and reproduces the real life of refugees in war-torn areas in Africa and Asia. It is even commendable that the filming of "Golden Eye", The director of "Vertical Limits", with a BMW-driving hero and a dual-gun heroine, digs into the darkness inside some titular international rescue organizations. Some people may not usually watch Discovery, Phoenix Information or news broadcasts, or even "Explore Discovery", but they happened to watch this film for the combination of handsome men and women, and they suddenly woke up to become a humanitarian warrior. If there is such a thing people, that's what this movie is about.

    Such a long period of dull depression is the catharsis of love for the last few minutes. God! Director, you are too cruel! It's like a dream, it's like a world away, do you want to be so plain and suddenly there is a sudden burst of sadness, is this the pain of a sudden convulsion? However, why is it necessary to suppress for so many years, and why is it necessary not to say love. Looking up is already riddled with holes, isn't it? It's a pity that the director has too much foreshadowing in order to publicize that moment. After all, the stroke of magic is not in this film

    The film is more like a documentary, from the barren and arid Ethiopia to Cambodia under the control of the Khmer Rouge to the war-torn Chechnya. Everything is something that we have never contacted and knew.

Beyond Borders quotes

  • Sarah Jordan: Perhaps we are all refugees from something, but I see now there is nothing to fear, that the world we hold onto, the lives we cherish, are a part of something greater, something more. When I look at my children I see it so clearly, that hope, that chance of life, and I know it's worth fighting for.

  • [first lines]

    Sarah Jordan: I wonder, do we all know where we belong? And if we do, in our hearts, why do we so often do nothing about it? There must be more to this life, a purpose for us all, a place to belong. You were my home. I knew from the moment I met you, that night, so many years ago.
