I watched this movie on the recommendation of a friend. She said that watching this movie made her have the urge to learn how to play drums. I said, because of you, I liked this movie like never before. Lucky to have you (Tarek, Mana) among the visitors of my life.
Stubborn and boring old professor - Walter.
When watching a movie, I like to see the background of the era in which the characters live. On September 11, 2001, four passenger planes were hijacked by terrorists, two of which crashed into the World Trade Center, one crashed into the Pentagon, and the other crashed in Pennsylvania due to the resistance of passengers. The incident killed nearly 3,000 people. The death also prompted the United States to speed up reforms to toughen its immigration policies and launch a war on terror in Afghanistan. US President George W. Bush said at a press conference that for those immigrants with criminal intentions, they should be excluded from the country, and stricter policies should be formulated to punish those bad people who are still at home. In the eyes of U.S. law enforcement agencies at that time, who were most likely to have criminal intent against the United States? Who are the bad guys hiding in the country? The answer is pretty much the same, Middle Eastern, which also explains why Tarek gets so much attention when he's in the subway, which leads to his eventual deportation, and why Walter says Mona leaves and never comes back. Everyone is equal in front of laws and regulations, but it is also the biggest inequality. Human nature is selfish, how can laws and regulations formulated by people be any better! I still remember what Tarek said in prison, terrorists are all rich and powerful people (personally I think they are alluding to Saudi Arabia), and the original intention of strengthening immigration control is to expel bad people and protect the security of the United States, but this is based on necessity. It will sacrifice the interests of some well-intentioned immigrants. At the end of the film, Walter came to the subway station with an African drum on his back, slapped heartily in the rumbling sound of the subway, released his full of helplessness, and finally faded away and faded away. Individuals always appear so vulnerable in the face of the massive state apparatus. The film can be roughly summed up as a joke: How to destroy the peaceful life of an old American professor? What time gives me, I will feel what, time let me meet you, I want to keep you.
