But since this film, I feel confident to challenge art films.
After watching the movie, I quickly watched the DVD footage. The interviews with the main actors and the director impressed me deeply, and my understanding of the film was further deepened.
In fact, I think this movie is excellent in content and form. I have always liked the ring structure since Pulp Fiction, and the phrase "time never dies, the circle is never round" is also very appealing. Formally this movie has reached a very high level, but I like its content more than that.
A movie, if it can make a person quickly form an indelible understanding of a history, a city or a culture, then it is difficult to say that the movie is not a success, such a movie is about to rain. Before watching this movie, I had never understood the history, politics, religion and ethnic disputes in Yugoslavia. This land on earth had no mapping in my mind, but after just two hours, I already had a superficial but But a clear enough impression.
The Republic of Macedonia in the film is not directly caught in the war in the Kosovo region, but it has always been cloudy, ethnic conflicts are on the brink of war, and a civilian war between Serbs and Albanians is imminent. This film focuses on describing the feeling of the eve of the storm. The ignorant and deep-rooted hostile tension has been deeply embedded in the heart of every Macedonian. Every death in the film, from the perspective of the onlooker, is a It's extremely pointless, I think Alexander didn't think until the end that his stupid cousin would shoot him, the cousin himself couldn't believe it, a more stubborn and powerful impulse and reaction in his heart, rejected all the remaining ones. reason. Feuds often manifest in this form.
The film starts and ends with the same scene. The priest said the same sentence that time will not pass, and the circle will not be round, but the wonderful soundtrack brings out the emotions and the ending is decisive enough.
