Ahmed was still a child, and he was bent on killing his teacher several times because he taught Secular Arabic (instead of Quranic Arabic). Ahmed never misses any prayer time, he doesn't wear short sleeves, he doesn't bow his face, and he doesn't shake hands with women. He calls his mother an "alcoholic", accuses his sister of being "scandalous," and he has no objection to the extremist "Imamu." "As a god, shut out other people's concerns. He kissed his girl (he was also attracted to her), and he persuaded her to convert to Islam, because it would alleviate his sins. From his mother's mouth, we learned that a month ago, he was just a kid who was addicted to video games with his friends. What happened this month? Ahmed stumbled and fell in the last "assassination" operation, lying on the ground unable to move, and said "forgive me" to the teacher who came to rescue him. Does he really apologize? What will happen to him in the future? When the audience saw him fall, they felt that he deserved it, and there was a kind of schadenfreude to see a little kid do it for himself. But what if the accident hadn't happened? What will he develop into? There is no before, no after, no "why", no "how", no effort to explain why, and no anticipation for the future. This film, in addition to the Darney brothers' skilled realism film language, is their abandonment of reality. I really don't know if this is laziness or just showing an attitude. Best Director at Cannes. This year's Cannes was somewhat inexplicable, and the best picture "Parasite" was also unworthy of its name.
