Timbuktu is a city with a long history from Mali, an ancient city in Africa, and a famous city in Islam. The film story takes this city as the background and tells the Islamic jihadist organization that controls the area. Strict and almost harsh Islamic regulations are adopted, such as no singing, playing guitar, football, no smoking or drinking, women are required to wear veils and gloves. Then, the problem emerged. Children can only play without the ball on the football field, women who sell fish are unwilling to wear gloves to work, men and women who love music secretly play guitar and sing at night, and young men and women are fornicating. As a result, they are whipped to varying degrees. Fornication, fornicating men and women were buried in the sand, two people were exposed, and people were stoned to death. The film does not have stormy crying and shouting, but only calm sadness. The director uses an indifferent lens to bring out the cold cruelty behind it. This kind of film with strong political meaning must be approved and supported by Western countries, and the director of the film has indeed presented the face of another world. A heavy heart, a thousand thoughts.
