The world is still too dark

Not to mention the movie itself, just this true story based on a true story... The world is still scary. Then at the end of the story, when the facts are said but nothing has changed, there is really a kind of bitterness that cannot be expressed. I have seen Escape from Tehran before, this is the German version of Escape from Tehran. And recently I was reading a book about the story of the girl who escaped from North Korea (title: In order to survive)... The distortion of human nature, the loss of morality, etc., it is really not a joke. In addition to these reported, there are too many such things, such places, perhaps there are still many, silently hidden in some corners of society. No matter how bizarre the made-up stories are, people can imagine them, but the truth is beyond people’s imagination. I hope this happens less and less, may the deceased rest in peace...

    #TIFF2015# The German version of escaping from Tehran, I bought tickets for the premiere and sat in the front row by various means. Let me show you the toilet! During the Q&A, the victim was invited to be the film consultant. It was really solemn.

    I watched this movie in shock in a German cinema. Living in a peaceful age, we can only touch and uncover the history of the bloody forest through the film. Even if the film is shocking, we cannot empathize with the things experienced by people who have been persecuted in history. Emma's acting skills are much more mature than that of Little Hermione.

Colonia quotes

  • Paul Schäfer: Oh I can see. Your sadness in your eyes. Doubts in your heart. Turmoil in your soul. Oh you think you made a mistake, that you shouldn't have come here. You regret. You regret deeply. It's OK. It's OK, Lena. We're not perfect. No, none of us. We all lose our way sometimes. The lord loves us, imperfect as we are.
