The French film "Young Ahmed" is a play by this child who believes in Islam. This neat and tidy, intelligent and gentle descendant of Arab immigrants can be said to be able to integrate into European society, but he is deeply caught in the quagmire of "fundamentalism". Destruction story. The movie not only makes the audience feel sorry for the child, but also deeply thinks about such social issues.
There is nothing wrong with the Arabs abroad who let their children learn the language of their own nation, but emphasizing that learning Arabic through the Koran is tantamount to deliberately guiding the children to accept the teachings of the Koran, and letting the religious spirit occupy the children's ideology. For the formed children, this kind of indoctrination and brainwashing method of learning is equivalent to depriving them of the freedom not to choose religion, which is not in line with modern social thinking.
No disrespect to any religion meant. I always feel that there is no universal thought, and there is no theory that cannot stand up to discussion and criticism. Correct theories can stand the test, and the principles and practices that have been effective in the past must also keep pace with the times in order to be successful in the present. For the majority of people's livelihood, if they lack self-confidence and want to find a support, lack the courage to find a shortcut, it is far better to face the society bravely and be bold and diligent on the road of life. Some excessive regulations and practices such as vegetarianism directly affect the mechanism of human beings, making people feel that they should accept certain things unconditionally, which also lacks the spirit of modern society. If it is further promoted that the individual obeys the collective unconditionally, sacrifices individual interests in order to fulfill the collective interests, and regards individual life as a piece of grass, there will be problems sooner or later. Religion should be a doctrine that only emphasizes good deeds and virtues, peace and calmness, and advocates opposition and hatred, and even advocates the elimination of dissidents. That would be wrong. If there is a political proposition with more social significance, you can participate in the modern national parliamentary system, where you can fight and check and balance, so as to jointly promote the development and progress of the society.
It is a feature film but has a very documentary style. The camera is mostly used on this child who is well-behaved and quiet on the surface, and his every move is captured. He looks neat and tidy, but his heart is very dazed and lost, which affects the hearts of the audience. It is good for children to be smart and well-behaved, but it is more important to have the correct three views and ways of thinking. If there is a problem with the worldview, and it is the kind of child with firm will and strong action, it will be even more terrible.
