If you walk into the cinema just for this screenshot, you will be disappointed.

The film critics described a short period of life before a juvenile delinquent started his hands, but this is not just a question of parents. Of course, I can’t tell how many problems were blamed, because there are really too many problems in the film and in reality. , I can't blame it.

Of course, we can attribute the problem to the parents very superficially, and it is very simple to say that parents are both a curse, or that the poor should not have children, reproductive cancer reproductive addiction and the earth's conviction, and other popular vocabulary summary.

But at least in this movie, the parents are just the penultimate piece in front of the children in this huge domino game.

When the parents themselves cannot be the backbone to withstand the family, the parents will become the last dominoes that are pressed down, and they will be heavily pressed on the children.

However, they are not the only dominoes. Wars, turmoil, poverty, religion, ignorance, medical care, education, when all order is out of order, all dominoes that support the state of society have fallen, and the madness of the poor multiplies, Is the irresponsibility of parents the most condemned content in this movie?

You can stop the reproduction of cockroaches, you can accuse mice of disorder, you can spit on poor people like you see cockroaches and mice, but you can't stop the rust of copper, the rot of meat, and the birth of poverty.

When the child as the last domino of this society falls, when the child is directly facing all the social pressure, can we only blame the parents?

No, in this situation, we can only blame our parents.

And the child in your stomach will be like me, really the best prophecy and curse for parents and society.

    It is no exaggeration to say that Labaki used one film to stand on the same level as his predecessors, Abbas (documentary and fiction, children's films) and Hirokazu Shiekeda (non-blood families at the bottom). How to distinguish the real from the miserable? It depends on whether the creator really stands with the characters. It was obviously another demonstration of handheld photography, and the piercing pain that pierced through the screen reminded me of "Little Guy" in Cannes that same year. The switching of viewpoints is not abrupt, and the intervention of the soundtrack is not promiscuous. Completely shocked, from the physical to the psychological level. The little male protagonist is so precocious that it is distressing, and the interrogation of the parents' souls at the end of the film is succinct and accurate. I once complained that the Chinese version of the poster looks like a fake boy, and I have to come back and apologize after watching the movie. #BJIFF9#

    In front of the European people, a super humanitarian disaster like the Middle East itself is full of tears. If such a subject matter is a documentary, it will be more powerful, but think about the fact that male protagonists and children of this age can "interpret" so close to reality, female directors are indeed powerful. In addition, a strong copy is sent to the family of forced marriages and births in the country.

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.
