When General Mladic's forces took over Srebrenica and Muslim refugees flocked to the UN peacekeeping camp, she became an anxious mother, a running mother, a begging for the safety of her two sons. Mother. However, history did not change its trajectory, and she remained a heartbroken and desperate mother. When the dark muzzle shot flames into the room, when the mother and wife were weeping to identify the piles of remains, it was difficult for anyone to resist the heavy depression brought about by the image. The most impressive thing is the expressionless faces in the middle of the film under the cheerful dance music, foreshadowing the catastrophe that people will face. At the end of the film, this feels extreme, and Ada returns to the city where the ethnic groups are still mixed, and continues to be her teacher to teach lovely children. When the children performed on the stage, the faces sitting below were full of smiles, but the smiles turned into blank faces again, which was eerily frightening.

Even if the good temporarily suppresses the evil, the evil will never disappear. Like the great devil of fantasy novels, waiting to restart when.
