was originally a film submitted by Israel for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but because more than half of the films were mainly in English, it was rejected. The General Assembly refused.
It was talking about what happened in the day after a police band arrived in Israel from Egypt, without much careful preparation and without notifying the Egyptian embassy in advance
. The village, the restaurant owner took the band to stay overnight and waited for the bus the next morning. The film mainly describes what the members of the band saw and heard that night, as well as the owner and the restaurant staff who took in three of the band.
The story can be said to be It's simple, but it's interesting to look at and feel good. Cultural differences, the unease or excitement brought by strangers, as an outsider, it's ridiculous and interesting.
The charming lady boss always knew where the band was looking. , maybe in this dull town where nothing will happen, a group of foreign men can just bring irresponsible fun, just one night
. Shop, listen to her story, and tell her own story. She ordered a song for him, and one night, the proprietress couldn't lure the conductor. This line is quite beautiful. Two people who will never meet again, A night of conversation can be very interesting.
I like a scene very much, the picture is always in my mind. It is the scene of the young trumpet player of the band and the other young people coming back from the boss's wife's house. Drink? No, I don't drink. No one wants Drink? The proprietress has been thinking about it, and you two men are not interested? In the end, of course, the proprietress didn't
come back empty-handed. The other three of the band went to the restaurant staff's house to stay overnight, but it was the staff's wife's birthday. There was an embarrassing situation at dinner. , there are scenes of trying to unravel the silence. I like what the staff said to one of the band. "Maybe your band is like our life this time, it's simple and there is no climax... "
The scene where young people go to the ice skating rink for entertainment is also quite interesting. The trumpet player in the band teaches timid men how to chase girls.
There are many humorous elements in the film, which add a lot of life to the dead town and the dark picture. But maybe I am not too I like that kind of darkness, that kind of staleness, not because I think the film is inappropriate, but because I don't like the emotions it brings to me. There is a little anxiety and depression
. Of course, the most attention is the role of the proprietress. The bandleader's subtle restraint is also very good. The young generation brought a lot of laughter to the audience.
The rhythm of the film is just right, and there is no boring scene at all. It is worth watching. I
just read the special issue I like these two paragraphs in the director's speech:
"Israel built a new airport, forgot to translate the road signs into Arabic... Thousands of shops were built, but strangers have no place to stay... All kinds of goods Brands can easily make us linger, forget our worries, and make us forget ourselves."
"Many famous films touch on the question of why there is no peace, but rarely, why do we need peace in the first place? Obviously they are constantly talking about economic benefits. Yu, what have we lost." I
believe that the band in the movie had more or less chance to find the forgotten self when they stayed in this stranger's place.
Why do we need peace? Have we ever asked this question? Civilization Order What are we missing?
