I love the tone and the way it is cut like this. The director refused to turn this story into a "blockbuster", but chose to narrate and restore it calmly and objectively, so that the audience could feel ups and downs with the development of the situation as if watching a live broadcast. The hand-held shooting emphasizes the effect of the documentary and creates tension on the scene; the fast montage consciously squeezes out almost all the lyrical space, weaving together so many complex clues and scenes, making people feel compact but not rigid. During the "live broadcast", there is no background music; and when the camera passes over the scene of the local people and their lives like eyes, when the warm pictures in the memory are quietly integrated into the development of the event, the music indistinctly highlights you The softness and tenderness of my heart. Time and space, now and then, are rubbed together in one place, seemingly chaotic, yet orderly.
Julie with no makeup under the camera uses a restrained performance to make people feel powerful emotional tension, but it is more shocking than hysteria. The camera is also left to the civilians and children in Pakistan, the cities and corners where they live, their faith and indifference. The film is about death, but not hate.
