death is not the end

The first film in Macedonia has received numerous acclaim for the following reasons:

1. The narrative structure of post-modern film art, the three-stage themes are interlocked, the events are related, and the time is misplaced. This is the director’s intention. It creates a vicious cycle of misjudgment.

Second, the theme is clear. Religion and race can both be justified reasons for killing each other; violence and killing are lurking at the same time in the environment of war and tranquility, there is no difference; facing the muzzle of a gun, conscience and innocence will not bring you peace; death is inevitable, But it is not the end, but another beginning.

3. The language of the film is skillful, concise and fluent, and there is space for people to think.

4. The soundtrack of the film is grand and atmospheric, closely connected with the plot, and the atmosphere is rendered in place.

Fifth, the photography is exquisite, the use of light is good, and the picture is beautiful.

6. As the first film made in a war-torn country, it is so sophisticated, so atmospheric, and so deep, which is particularly surprising, with a full score of impressions.

    The film was well done, and the structure influenced many latecomers. Unfortunately, it seems that the director has been unable to recover after this film.
