The first third of the film, acquaintance, acquaintance, love, cohabitation, the rhythm is brisk, everything is so logical and sweet. The subsequent death of Nemo's good friend Mustafa broke the previous tranquility, completely brought out the hidden danger of Nemo's brother participating in extremist organizations, and became a turning point in the plot of the whole movie.
The plot after that is like a domino effect, from the previous hidden danger to the next hidden danger, and begins to fall into a vicious circle. Discrimination and malice in society, incomprehension and abuse from family members, everyone knows that family, faith and society have caused unbearable burdens on comrades, and the undercurrent conflict between the Palestinian and Israeli governments has made this relationship difficult. more difficult.
If you love someone, how many people do you want to leave? The two were helpless, and even quarreled, but they never let go of each other's hands. That's what love is, getting angry is angry, arguing is arguing, but I will never leave you alone. When Nemo was homeless and had nowhere to stay, Roy became the only hope he could hold tightly in the boundless darkness. I don't know why, but it reminds me of the story of "Sleeping Beauty". Nemo is the cursed Princess Aurora, and Roy is Prince Philip who saved him. Only love can give you a glimmer of hope, because true love conquers all.
The tone of the whole film tends to be dark, and the storyline is a little more tense because of the mixing of Palestinian-Israeli politics, but the whole thing tends to be heavy, and only the love that never gives up makes people breathe a sigh of relief. I gave this movie five stars, but I just want to give it four stars, not because it's bad, but because I don't like open endings, because open endings make me uncomfortable. I just took the title of the movie, Dark Light, and thought it would be a good ending, because, if I were Nemo, if Roy didn't leave, if this parting was forever, then I would Can't be happy anymore.
But in any case, when I heard the short and heavy sentence in the trailer, "Is it wrong to love someone?" I knew that I had fallen in love with this good film.
