After laughing so hard, I think this film is actually a tragedy. The transition point of dumbfounding is where real life lies; at the end of life, in fact, many things are dumbfounded, there is no tragedy, and no comedy. Among the various forms of death, those who died in a daze are the saddest group of people. After watching this movie in Edinburgh, I was a little choked when I walked out of the theater. The explosion always made people laugh and startled, and then turned into a little bit of tears. If you carefully consider it, it may make people sad for a long time; walk out of the theater in Edinburgh On the edge of the old city’s cemetery, the feeling of vomiting even more, those dead with tombstones, death is such an elegant thing, even a kind of religious joy, in contrast, suicide bombers are simple Death is very pitiful. I still remember the one who died in the Kebab shop, who said at his deathbed was "i don't know what i'm doing". This reminds me of the civil war in Cambodia's Crimson Khmer. Death originated from some kind of naivety.
I don’t know how many people feel this way: terrorists dressed in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sesame Street Men, ostriches, and clowns behave stupidly like a child, but they go to death like this... It’s really pitiful. This deliberate arrangement adds more sadness to the film. The bright clothes, the bright toys, the sudden death, and the innocent tears, seem ridiculous to get together, but in fact this film is a big tragedy, ridiculous and pitiful.
