Magic Arabia

Is there something wrong with my values? Instead, I feel that the chief who advocates oil mining is more enlightened and farsighted. If it is changed to the Chinese context, isn't it reform and opening up... Why did the introduction become the villain? ?

Is the belief that puts people in backwardness and poverty more important than a progressive social environment?

Digging for oil is of course to make money, but is making money the original sin? The money earned brings immediate benefits to the people, which is not a bad thing in my opinion.

The countless people who died of cholera and the women who died of childbirth are, in my opinion, just victims of the narcissism of the superior.

Well, let's talk about the movie itself.

The plot is actually quite boring. The protagonist's golden finger is very obvious. Seeing tanks kill tanks and planes bombing planes, they can be resurrected after death... There are too many similar examples. But the film itself still shows us a relatively small Arab world to some extent, and it is still given one more star from the perspective of cultural diversity.

PS: At the end of the film, when Leyla greeted her triumphant husband outside the city gate, I couldn’t hold back the rants that had been suppressed all the way... Your husband asked you to intercede and let him return to the tribe in the name of peace talks. In the end, you led the army all the way to kill the generals and killed your own brother. At the end, you said with a smile, "We have a baby," and you're done? Although the protagonist does have his own difficulties in doing so, don't he even ask a question?

The water poured out by the married daughter, it seems that the custom of patriarchal Arabia is still excusable...

    4.5, the ending begins with the death of the biological father, which is a bit muddled, and goes straight to the perfect ending of wealth, morality and family. The front is very good, and the excitement of crossing the land of Allah to find the water source is no less than "Lawrence of Arabia". Few directors now dare to touch such a historical subject matter. Through the battle between religion and money, the Arab society of that time is shown, and the balance between the local and the universal is very good. The music is also great.

    In the first part of the film, people can't find the positioning - whether it is history, legend or gross? As things get better later, there is more room for discussion in wars caused by opposing ideas than purely competing for interests. About love, faith, traditional culture and economic future... The strategy is not obvious, but the rhythm is good. The two chiefs successfully robbed the scene. The male protagonist's father is so handsome that his sister doesn't even care about Gondlas. By the way, Uncle Ban, are you going to play this for Mao?
