The news reports the evil deeds of terrorists every day, and this film looks at the war from the perspective of "terrorists". If these terrorists are our friends and relatives in our lives, it turns out they are all human. The male protagonist is an ordinary car mechanic with a harmonious family relationship. He just met the girl he likes, and is the age to start his life. This is the most touching place. It turns out that they are also ordinary people with flesh and blood who are troubled by life.
The male protagonist was going to die generously after receiving the news one night. The director arranged the last meal before leaving with Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper", so it was not surprising when his friends backed away later. They express their love and protest to society in their own way.
The film mentions Allah everywhere, and religious beliefs fill the lives of these young people, who pursue freedom and equality in extreme ways in the name of Allah. The male protagonist and his friends hope that they can return to the embrace of Allah after their death. The door of the male protagonist's house is covered with Islamic symbols. Such devout believers finally decide to hurt themselves and others. It seems that religion is everywhere, but the director clearly tells us that there is no heaven.
From the beginning of the film, the male protagonist brings a bomb in less than 20 minutes. Until the end of the film, there is no expected explosion and a blur of flesh and blood. It is subtle and depressing, but it has a stronger shocking effect than the real explosion. The male protagonist gets on the bus at the end of the film. The firm and desperate eyes behind the car can only be rooted in your heart.
The heroine told the hero and his friends about her views on war and freedom. The friend who was very firm at the beginning finally changed her mind, but the hero did not. In fact, from the very beginning when I took the oath under the video recorder, my friend told my mother that there is a brand of water filter that is cheaper... I can see that my friend is impulsive but loves his family deeply. He changed in the end. The idea is that the male protagonist can also change his mind. But when the male protagonist tells the head of their terrorist organization about his life experience, he can know that since his 10-year-old father was killed as a collaborator, he has already begun to think about how to live. He was also shaken on the way to escape, slapping his face in the toilet, telling himself that he was chosen by Allah.
The film talks about the relationship between Palestine and Israel, and the Israeli director looks at the issue from the perspective of Palestine. What exactly is peace, and what is entanglement of beliefs? In the end, it's a people problem.
There is no music in the whole film, but there is no depression. Some people feel that the main and subplots are not prominent in Bai Ang, but this semi-realistic expression is the most suitable for life.
All to survive.
From another angle, the world still makes sense, and life is still forcing you and me to breathe.
