the "sense of security" Ivo gave to the world pushed him high into loneliness and desolation. And too many foolish people go to the road of no return to avenge their grievances, and no one cares that they are also the executioners of murderers and fathers. Ivo is like an evangelist evangelist, standing alone at a fork in the road, the confused people are relieved, and hatred can only be attributed to the ruthless war!
Returning to my own feelings: I
can't help but think of 2001's "Borderlands", a war movie that is also a small view. Without gorgeous special effects, big scenes and big productions, there are only four people, one room, one yard, two A trolley, a small field such as a kumquat field, there is no frontal conflict in the war, but it is more real and moving.
Compared to the dark humor, wit and despair of Borderlands, Kumquat finally presents peace and hope.
Let’s take a look at the characters’ settings first. Ivo is old and strong. He has experienced the pain of losing his son. He has already seen through the cruelty and ruthlessness of war. Innocent victims in the war; Ahmed is rough and fine, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and loves friendship, but he was deeply hurt by the war and had to join the army to support his family; Nika has a strong self-esteem, is impulsive, and has no brains. With only a passion for blood, they went to the front line without the knowledge of their mother . The
four have distinct personalities and full images.
The tone of the whole film is colder, and the warmer colors of lights and kumquats are added. Instead, there are more symbols of hope, and it is also a hint of the brilliance of humanity under the shroud of darkness. At the same time, there is no silky dazzling skills in the whole shot. As the camera moves slowly, there are changes in stability. It is inevitable that some will feel sleepy. As the same table eats, fights with each other, and a chat scene changes, the story develops to a climax. Ahmed was suspected of shooting by his own people, resulting in a conflict. Margos was killed. A man who worked hard to grow kumquats did not want to make a fortune. ; Nick and Ahmed joined hands to shoot, and finally Nick was killed, an impulsive person who had beliefs and ideals but no ideas then fell down, once again showing that war is a never-ending killing; after two people were killed, the story is in Under the foreshadowing of various details in the early stage, it began to sublimate. Ivo’s old and firm back said goodbye to Ahmed and stood on the land that he loved and hated; Ahmed drove home and took out the yellow tape repaired by Nick. , trying to understand each other's music, culture and religious ideals, the scene of peace began to set off, the farther the car drove, the more peaceful the picture became.
It is still a rare film without women. Actors with three levels of strength can control the whole emotion at their fingertips. The film is also the first Georgia-Estonian joint production.
Finally, let’s talk about the soundtrack. There are only three pieces of music, and the film keeps appearing at any time, especially the last one (the original soundtrack has not been found so far, please recommend if you have any), which is melodious and full of hope. Green, the hope of peace begins to sprout, and it is also a tribute to the human nature and conscience that has not been wiped out.
