The Darney brothers give Bai Zuo a slap in the face

On the last day of the EU Film Festival, the easter egg turned out to be an interview with the Darney brothers after the film. Comparing with the "reflection record" of a European white-left female volunteer who met refugees I saw in the movie in the morning, it is too consistent, that is, "unable to communicate". But that one is really too rhythmic and doesn't turn. Some friends watched this film before, and the only regret was that "it only filmed the extremes of religious extremists, but did not show why he became like this." I don't seem to care about this. Because this is the way of thinking of ordinary people, we first assume that everyone, every organization, and nation are naturally the same. If there is any extreme behavior, there must be some causal stimulus to change. Rather than expecting to see a cause, we expect to see a cause that matches our imagination. But for extremists, this is not the case at all. It's not a "shift", they always think they're doing the right thing, they're living within their own laws, and they've always been. If you imagine that a little love education can influence the collective consciousness that has survived under the different set of laws for thousands of years, it is no different from the naivety of the earthly people who are still praising the purity and beauty of the dangerous "water droplets". In the interview after the film, the Darney brothers also expressed their interest in explaining the beauty of their life backgrounds, but they wanted to try to show the circumstances under which religious people would suddenly return to their original state. Under what circumstances? In the movie, when the young activist sneaked into the house of the "blasphemer" to try to kill her, he fell from the upstairs, and when he was seriously injured and unable to move, he called out "Mom", begging for help and forgiveness. In that "Reflection Record", the European female volunteers were deceived, sexually assaulted, and humiliated when they tried their best to help these family members she thought. . . The most determined Bai Zuo also denied himself. It seems that everyone is the same, what is the most educated? Reality. When you touch yourself, when you are slapped in the face, you will start the "survival instinct" in a panic. What a brutal rule.

    (6.8/10) The Darney Brothers are as refined as ever. It's a breath of fresh air at a time when the author's films are increasingly advocating "long". However, this time, "Young Ahmed" applied the formula basically the same as that of "Bicycle Boy". Although dare to discuss the most controversial issues in European society. But a little sincerity. The best part about this movie is. The protagonist has been changing his attitude towards extreme behavior. But most of the time the audience has no way of knowing its real psychological activity (it may also be intentional by the director). So the story goes to the end. We are still worried about whether the sharp weapon will stab the teacher. And even smarter. This sharp weapon changed from a murder weapon to a life-saving tool in an instant.
