Two scenes in the film "Lebanon" are impressive:

one: in the sight glass of the aiming hand, a donkey with its belly blown open is lying on the ground, (close-up freeze) gasping in its mouth, (camera moves) ), the corners of the donkey’s eyes, the tears flowed down…

Part 2: A resident, the male owner was killed, the child was killed, the helpless hostess looked at the soldiers beside her with complicated eyes, the ground The flames of war ignited her pajamas, a soldier next to him pulled it, and the pajamas were burned and shattered, and the panties were also removed to the crook of her legs. She was terrified, and one hand covered her chest and the other hand. Pulling up her panties, she swayed helplessly in place, and the soldier next to her draped a sheet that was on the ground over her. Facing the sight glass of the aiming hand, her face full of tears, panic, anger, helplessness, despair, daze... The humbleness of life, the loss of dignity, the cruelty and absurdity of war are all revealed. Only the endless sunflowers at the beginning and end of the film are always facing the sun. Although the aesthetics of the film is less than one ten thousandth of that of Zhang Yimou's films, it is ten thousand times more profound than Zhang Yimou's films.
