It was a summer evening, and the heat made people distracted. When I looked up inadvertently, I saw a large cloud slowly drifting from afar. Only then did I realize that the earthy smell with a slight fishy smell earlier was a sign of the impending rainstorm. Reminder——In the film, the young man with a beautiful face is picking tomatoes without hesitation. The priest came to invite him to set off. There were heavy dark clouds in the sky. The priest said that flies were flying all over the sky and it was going to rain. This is a real rainstorm. , after a raging storm, the rain stopped and the wind stopped, and everything would return to its original state. And the torrential rain that belongs to Macedonia will destroy everything.
"When the birds fly over the hazy sky, people are silent. My blood is aching for waiting." After reading this sentence, you can see that the whole film is heavy and sad. So even when the boy puts a kiss on the cheek of the girl in distress and swears "No one will find you", when the woman hugs her husband's head and says "I still love you", when Alexander's beloved woman gets her wish When I appeared in front of him, I still knew that everything was just a prelude before the rainstorm, and the happiness that I got by chance at this time would not last long. Sure enough, the ensuing torrential rain gave the illusion of happiness a blow, and death followed. The long-term war in Macedonia has made the Macedonian people take violence and death as commonplace. Even the children are cruel and insensitive to life. The children are holding weapons taller than humans and playing with the lives of Macedonian tortoises with cruel means. Thousands of miles away, London's turtles swim freely in the restaurant's tank, but this freedom is doomed to not last long, and misfortune is already accelerating. There is also a real history behind the violence and death in the film. Watching the film can still breathe, because we know that the plot is mostly made up, and the people who were mortally injured in the film are still alive and well off-screen. But thinking about history, thinking about those lives and beliefs that were unreasonably destroyed in the fire of war, my heart is heavy.
At the beginning I thought it would be a boring movie, but after watching it, I really liked it. The picturesque cinematic scenes with an ancient flavor, the profound three-stage circular narrative structure of "time does not pass, the circle is not round" and the film theme based on a real and heavy history of ethnic hatred. But more importantly, while expressing hatred and killing, the film blends hope and beauty into these cruel and cold realities. In the third story, the lamb is born. This kind of common reproduction has brought new hope to the weather-beaten reality. It is endless. I believe that there will still be new life after the rainstorm. It is as tenacious as weeds on this land. to survive.
