The beginning of the film is very calm, the dialogue of the family, the rhythm is soothing, which makes people very comfortable. The red morning sun, the swimming ducks, the blue river, the fishing boats in the water, this stillness feels like a traditional Chinese ink painting. This kind of artistic conception, which is very incompatible with the introduction of the opening credits, feels like the tranquility before the storm.
Everything must have a beginning, a process, and an end. The indiscriminate murders always give the viewer a strong shock, not to mention that there are children among the murderers. Murdering children, oh my God, how can God put up with that.
When people talk about Africa, they think of abundant natural resources, virgin land full of oil and diamonds, and cannibalistic savages. This is Africa. Gold is everywhere, and corpses are everywhere. You don't know how much wealth you'll get from where, just as you don't know how many vultures will share your corpse.
The smuggler has to be smart, and hiding in the sheep is a really smart idea, but the smarter will keep at least one in the tooth. A reporter must be a beautiful woman. You will never be unhappy because you can't find news. You just need to sit in the pub and there will naturally be news coming to you.
The family that was peaceful at the beginning is now separated, Solomon finally saw his family in the refugee camp, and then this honest poor man took a few gun butts and screamed in the sky, "Where's my son. You will be heartbroken." Feeling?
A seasoned smuggler keeps his face straight in order to get what he wants.
-Now remember.All you say is,"I am the cameraman."all right.
-Listen,I cannot do this.
-Why not?
-Because I an not a journalist.
-Of course you're not
-Well, then how can I say I am?
You really don't have the talent to be a smuggler.
A 10-year-old kid, holding an AK-47, says to you, "Who is this motherfucker?" Adults in the civilized world are scarier than kids because they know a lot. But after becoming a killing machine, children are scarier than adults because many of them don't understand. Don't try to explain, because logic means nothing to them, they just want to kill.
I am the devil because I am in hell. Getting out of here is the only option, and that stone is where all hope lies. Archer's wish could not be fulfilled. Looking at the diamond he thought about day and night, he smiled, and then handed it and the chance to live in Solomon's hands.
The phone call with Maddy Bowen made people feel chaotic in time and space, a leisure bar by the lake, chatting and drinking tea with three or two friends; on the rocky loess mountain, soldiers in camouflage and armed with weapons were approaching. These two scenes are more like two times in the same space, but it happens to be two spaces in the same time.
We cannot and cannot scold people who like diamonds. As human beings with one head and two hands, those rich people originally relied on bright and bright decorations to reflect their identities, and they wore famous brands to eat delicacies. Similarly, diamonds became a symbol of status because of their rarity. Just like no one drives a Cadillac to buy eggs and cakes, identity needs a concrete material as a manifestation, even if it is not these shining stones, it will be something else, and those inhumane killings will definitely come from there Move to here. Diamonds are not sins, it is human greed that is sinful.
