atypical movie

Other netizens have almost learned about the historical background and so on, and I don't need to go to work again, just talk a little about the character's performance and some uncharacteristic elements. The actors acted very well. The actor who plays Ahmed is a pure Georgian, but in the film, he plays a Chechen mercenary in a superb way, whether it is from the Russian accent to the expression of the speech or even the Naimaz. The demeanor is very similar; Nika's slurred speech after a head injury is also very realistic; let's mention the so-called non-mainstream factors in the film, it is actually hard to imagine that this is a Georgian without Georgian. In the film, the director who is a Georgian did not portray Georgia as a pitiful image, and even Georgia was a little negative in the film, but the Chechen soldier, who has always been known for his agility, is actually a person who likes to tell bad jokes. The people who are directly related to the conflict in 2008 are not villains in the film. Instead, the director poured this dirty water on Russia, which he believed to be the root cause. The image of the Russian soldier in the 1990s is very vivid. In the post-Soviet era and even at this moment, there are countless stories like the one in the film, where groups of people who speak Russian swearing are fighting each other.
