I saw this movie in the movie theater recently and went to see it right away. However, listening to Arabic and watching English subtitles is too challenging. The lawyer's argument is so long that he skips to the next sentence before reading it. When watching the subtitles, you can't take care of the picture, and when you look at the picture, you can't take care of the subtitles. There were only three people in the audience, and the guy from the box office said that I was the first to see it that day. If there was no one after that, I would be VIP. Crazy spoilers below! ! !

. Palestine refugee Yasser is a plumber foreman. During construction on the street, he was watered by a protruding water pipe upstairs. He visited the resident and asked him to modify the water pipe. The resident, Tony, a Lebanese car mechanic, rejected Yasser's request for discriminating against Palestinian refugees. Yasser, who had closed the door, modified Tony's water pipe without authorization, but he didn't expect that Tony didn't appreciate it at all, and knocked on the new pipe with a hammer on the spot. Facing such an unreasonable Tony, yasser sent him a 'fuck'. Tony, who felt humiliated, complained to Yasser's boss and asked Yasser to apologize to him or sue him. The boss didn't want to make things too big, and Yasser didn't want it either. It was difficult for the Palestinian refugees to find a job. The boss threatened to fire them if they didn't apologize. Yasser had to agree to apologize. When I came to Tony's repair shop, Tony was listening to an anti-Palestine speech. When he saw Yasser, a Palestinian refugee, his heart became even more angry, and then he insulted him. Yasser, who was thinking of apologizing, was even more reluctant to apologize when faced with Tony's attitude, but Tony said 'I wished sharon had wiped you out' Let the yasser explode completely, directly sending Tony a punch and breaking both of his ribs. The beaten Tony resolutely brought Yasser to the court. When the judge asked what Tony said to make Yasser do it, both parties were reluctant to answer. In the end, the judge ruled that Yasser was not guilty. Dissatisfied with the result, Tony woke up in the middle of the night to go to the repair shop, and his rib injury was pulled while carrying heavy objects, and passed out, while his pregnant wife found him and dragged him to the hospital alone, resulting in a premature delivery. Looking at his premature daughter whose life was in danger at any time, Tony, with the help of an old lawyer with the same political stance as him, brought Yasser to court again, and this time Yasser also had a young female lawyer to help defend him. When the defense process intensified, some unscrupulous media people recorded the arguments in court and put them on the Internet. Tony and yasser's fight became a flashpoint because of their identity, which in turn ignited a struggle between the Palestinians and the Lebanese masses. Palestine refugees feel that they have lived in Lebanon for so many years. On the other hand, the Lebanese feel that the refugees take up resources and cause trouble, and they also seek sympathy everywhere. The fighting between the two became so fierce that the prime minister later tried to bring the two to a truce. However, even in the face of the Prime Minister's request for a truce, Tony still firmly refused, stubbornly asking Yasser to give him an apology. Just when the situation developed to the point where the president could not come forward and seemed to be out of control, the director directly gave them a very small amount of goodwill and interaction, which changed their relationship. When they were about to drive home after seeing the president, Yasser's car broke down. Tony, who had already driven away, found that Yasser's car broke down and drove back. He silently helped Yasser repair the car and left without a word. Yasser, who had also remained silent, also showed a relaxed expression after that. Later, Yasser came to Tony's repair shop alone one night and deliberately angered Tony with words. After Tony punched him in anger, Yasser apologized for angering Tony and said 'I'm sorry' that Tony always wanted. The grievances and grievances between the lawyers, judges, and presidents that had not been resolved before were resolved without any external force. When I first watched it, I was curious about how I would deal with this apology in the end. I felt that it would be very sensational and disgusting if I got it wrong. Very satisfied with the sentence 'I'm sorry' , yasser pissed off Tony and got punched, just like Tony pissed off yasser and punched him at the beginning of the movie, this kind of frank apology is just right. Although the two have been laughing at each other in private, the lawsuit is not over yet. However, as an audience, I don't care so much about what happened in the court, and finally Yasser was found not guilty. There's a Hollywood happy at the end ending, Tony and Yasser smiled at each other as they left the courthouse. The plot is basically about how Tony and Yasser fought a lawsuit. The director used the defenses of the lawyers in the court to clarify the background of the two, and stated the source of hatred and suffering. Yasser's misfortune comes from being a Palestinian refugee. The reason why the audience has been puzzled by Tony's hatred of the Palestinians was finally revealed through the defense of the old lawyer. It also explains why he just stubbornly pursued an apology from the start. Tony used to grow up in the Christian town of Damour. He is also a Christian. Later, a Palestinian Muslim armed force entered Damour and carried out a massacre. He and his father escaped and became survivors and refugees in their own country, but his mother and brothers died in the Palestinian Holocaust. This explains Tony's long-standing hatred of Palestinians. After the massacre, the Palestinian refugees are still living in other countries, and the damour incident has passed as if it never happened. For this encounter, he longed for an apology, and the anger in his heart pointed the finger at the Palestinian refugees. The interesting things are: Basically, they are not willing to say anything about the background of the protagonists, but they are all told by the lawyers. The lawyers for the plaintiff and the defendant are father and daughter. They have different political stances. Compared with the conservative and racial discrimination of the father, the daughter is obviously more open-minded and equal. At the beginning, the father also asked his daughter to drop the case because he didn't want her to lose the first defense, but the daughter said that whoever loses and who wins is not necessarily the case. Although the hatred between Tony and Yasser finally stopped, the conflict between the people continued. The reconciliation between Tony and Yasser is more like a reflection of the director's optimistic attitude towards the future and human nature. The main thing is that the director skillfully used the little things in life to present some bigger problems. The dispute between Tony and Yasser reflected the contradiction between ethnic and religious, and the debate between the lawyer father and daughter also revealed the spiritual civilization of the new generation. brought dawn. This movie is also good as a small science popularization of Lebanon's political history for a period of time. And the anti-war effect is particularly strong. As said in the movie, although the war is over, it still exists in people's hearts. When the debate in the court went to a rhythm of comparison between the two sides, the old lawyer said that the suffering is not unique to one person. Each has its own pain. Of course, the happy ending only exists in the movie. After Tony and Yasser reconciled, they went back to their hometown that they didn't want to remember before, as if they had marked the war that lasted for many years in their hearts. period. There are a lot of well-spoken lines in the movie. I thought they were pretty good at the time, but I didn’t write them down. Afterwards, I went to watch the history of Lebanon. The history in reality is what makes people sigh and hurt, so I think the movie is cute and beautiful.
