Spider-Man? No I'm just a cockroach man.

From a one-sentence introduction that can directly hit the heart to the 120-minute reading of the entire story, the heart has been impacted and shocked.

The three friends who watched the movie started to cry and cried until the end. It is really a movie that the whole world wants to see before it is finished. Just for that 12-year-old little ZEIN's speech in the court: I want to sue my parents for giving birth to me. I want parents who can't feed their children not to have children.

I also want to talk about life in a poor and difficult environment. As a treasure of Lebanon, Nadine Labaki has shot a completely different perspective and details. It is not like some movies that can only be shown through people in rustic villages. It is not to show the poor, only low-quality and looting. Where the Capernaum story takes place, many people surprise us with the kindness of heart. As brainwashed by society, we want to examine ourselves why we see those adults and think they must be bad people.

There are too many impressive contents. The most unforgettable detail is the helpless and sad conversation that little Zain had when he saw the old grandfather who seemed to be wearing Spider-Man clothes sitting next to him on the bus running away from home.

That meaning hurts the heart. People at their level are inferior to superheroes, can't dream of Spider-Man, can only be cockroach-man?

Thanks to the little Zain who left us with the brightest smile at the end of this movie. His face that was so miserable and depressed for 119 minutes and 50 seconds finally bloomed in the last 10 seconds with the smile that he deserves the most at his age.

The only MARKET SCREENING screening room has too few seats and too many people can't get in to see the film. Only after the screening in the hall of Lumière will more people promote this film. I want the world to see CAPERNUM

The producer mortgaged his house to make this film. Really really really really really want the whole world to see this story. Capernaum

    The child in your womb will be like me, the best curse he can give the world.

    Lebanon's architecture, landscape, and living conditions at the bottom are very fresh. The director's filming method is still a documentary-style life flow. Aesthetically, it belongs to the three major European literary and artistic films that are commonly seen, but that's all. The middle section is changed to the perspective of a black mother, so that the story can escape from the perspective of a little boy. This is also the director's creation in dealing with the story, and the plot is slow and loose, which is also the usual practice of directors in this type of film. The courtroom scene in Act 3 underscores the story's lack of strength, and the depth of the play depends on this incitement.

Capernaum quotes

  • Zain: Your words pierce my heart. I no longer want to see you. You're heartless.

  • Zain: I want to make a complaint against my parents. I'd want adults to listen to me. I want adults who can't raise kids not to have any. What will I remember? Violence, insults or beatings, hit with chains, pipes, or a belt? The kindest words I heard were get out son of a whore! Bug off, piece of garbage! Life is a pile of shit. Not worth more than my shoe. I live in hell here. I burn like rotting meat. Life is a bitch.I thought we'd become good people, loved by all. But God doesn't want that for us. He'd rather we be washrags for others. The child you're carrying will be like I am.
