Especially when shooting from the perspective of a little girl, Reivew on First They Killed My Father

The reason for watching this film is undoubtedly for the goddess Julie. What surprised me is that the story is told from the perspective of a little girl, and a lot of POVs also gave me some inspiration for the script creation. But in terms of plot, because I have seen another movie "The Pianist" before, it also tells the story of the family being separated due to World War II, and only the male protagonist survives in the end. So when I saw this film, I knew that the story must be based on the departure of family members. But the film still gave a Happy ending at the end. In fact, the tragedy will be more impressive, perhaps because Julie is too emotional.
What impressed me most about this film was the last part of Liang who went through a landmine. She recalled her experience of learning to lay mines. At that time, she had no idea how dangerous it was. It was not until she saw people being blown up that she was deeply impressed. experience the cruelty of war. The overhead shot is also one of my favorite shots: Liang cautiously follows the path others have walked, and someone blindly rushes in and is blown away next to Liang.
If the plot of this film can be more compact, it would be better to shorten it to an hour and a half or even shorter. As for the artistry, maybe Julie is not enough as a director, and the clues are relatively simple (attributed to the girl's first point of view).
