Ahmed doesn't seem to have his own mind in the whole film - at least in the first half, he is brainwashed by the imam to become an extreme Muslim; but in the second half of the film, Ahmed suddenly has His own thoughts - he tried to kill again, and he was smarter than before, he pretended that he had truly repented and carefully crafted the murder weapon. He was stupid and had no discernment ability, and how did he insist on assassinating the teacher-he seemed to be shaken before. In short, neither the play nor the expressionless performance of the actors can answer this question, we can't see what Ahmed really thinks, and we can't judge his expression.
But the work isn't without merit - hardly a single scene is superfluous, it's not superfluous, all its shots serve the subject, and it's tightly centered around Ahmed. In fact, we can learn from it, in the process of creating -- asking ourselves over and over again: what is the use of this place? Can you take it off?
