A really good movie is not anesthesia, not a hallucination, not telling you what to do, but a precipitation in your heart after watching it, which arouses some of your attention and thinking.
German girl Katja's Turkish husband and son were killed by neo-Nazi bombs. The trial evidence was insufficient, and the murderer couple was acquitted. In the end, Katja chose the same homemade bomb and perished with the murderer couple. Heavy topics and heavy endings .
The ending of the film is open, right? Is the cost big? Are there better options? Each viewer can have their own answer.
The film strives to display this tragic story from a relatively objective angle, and try to avoid the director's attitude, which is a good job.
Katja's husband has a criminal record, Katja took drugs when Katja collapsed, the estrangement between the Turkish in-laws and Katja's parents and Katja, the estrangement between Katja and her parents, the initiative of the murderer's father to report, the rigorous trial, Katja's psychological repetition of revenge, They are all displayed in a flowing manner. This is the director's skill and attitude.
Back to the story itself, I'm speechless, this world is really fucked up!
