Use a railroad track to connect the past events of the war years, and use a donkey to pour out suppressed emotions. Life is a Miracle is an exploration of human nature and life and death.

Compared with "Underground", which is painful to overthrow the country, this film more lightly depicts the whole process of the disintegration of ordinary families under the external force of war, and at the same time gives a rebellious emotional sustenance, showing the causal orientation and inner nature of the two. struggle.

The film cleverly focuses on Luca and the alien hostage Sabaha's misfire, using poetic scenes and romantic colors to compose this dream about desire, while avoiding the inherent path of portraying the tragic separation of wives and children. .

The film adds absurd details and dispatches animals to build another perspective, all of which make the film's rhythm ups and downs, and at the same time, it also enriches the lives of people in the war years in the film, and the infiltration of war into daily life is more real.

The love between Luca and Sabah is the tip of the iceberg of desire under oppression, and the essence of humanity across religions and races. Desires are bound by ethics and morality in peaceful times, and they can still rebel with courage. In the war years, being warned by fate that "this is not your war alone", all the beautiful dreams were suddenly declared disillusioned.

The carnival of the villagers is the outlet of pressure, and behind the joy of gongs and drums is the breaking of countless family chains. In this war, there are still many diverse existences, such as desolate railway tracks, leaking footballs, and geese killed by eagles. The four seasons of the wilderness only exist under the nourishment of true feelings, and more eyes witness the long and cruel winter.

    "This is not a war for you alone." People in a turbulent environment are always just cannon fodder, and sometimes their fate is not in their own hands at all, but we still firmly believe that there is love in the world, break free from shackles, pursue and enjoy. Kusturica is worthy of being a master. Various scenes of god-level imagination are both ironic and humorous. The soundtrack is great and the performances are good.

    I've watched a lot of bad movies recently, and it's so cool to watch this... Kusturica's films always show a heavy life as a celebration
