The Georges family and friends are standard successful people. The windows are bright and clean, and their lives are easy and happy. There is a well-behaved child in adolescence. The problem appeared on the video tape that suddenly appeared. The previous plot has already been said, and it is no longer wordy. Halfway through, I realized that the relationship between the Algerian immigrants and the French people was involved. I thought that it was related to politics. After watching the interviews with the director on the Internet, I realized that they were not talking about this. Matter: "I have long known that people would ask questions like politics, such as France and Algeria, Germany and Austria. In fact, this film is about "Caché", but this is not the only topic. In fact, this is a very personal one. A film about guilt or innocence, hiding and presenting. You may not know that this film first tells the story of a man, but this story is related to the murder of Algerians in Paris in 1961, but this Not the whole film, not a story about France and Algeria. Every country has a hidden and forgotten history. Every country has it, including Germany, Austria or China. People will think of such a problem, itself. It means that there are always these forgotten parts in our memories, one country, one person, whatever."
Think carefully about the details in the film. When Georges dreams, the face of his childhood Majid keeps appearing, with horrified eyes and bloody mouth. Why does Georges always dream of him? Is it out of guilt or fear? According to the film, Georges lied to his parents that Majid always vomited blood when he was a child, and that he vomited blood was completely fabricated by Georges himself. The pictures he received with the video tape always showed the image of a child who vomited blood. That is to say, the person who took the video also knows what he lied when he was a child...So it seems that from the look of it, I always feel that this camera does not exist at all, it is just like a lingering shadow in life, entrenched. In Georges life. To put it in a big way, it is the obscured and forgotten history that the director said. For France, it is the bloody murder of Algerians. This film can not help but reminiscent of the riots in France in the previous period, which were also caused by the unequal treatment of foreign immigrants.
PS: I just went to imdb to check it out, Maurice Bénichou, the actor who plays Majid, is really Algerian.
