    carve

    In order to complete his expression, the director bluntly stuffed something into it, but it did not prevent this from being an excellent movie. The film "Shame" tells the story of a conflict between a Lebanese who experienced war as a child and a Palestinian refugee who went to work in Lebanon....

    No one is doing anyone right/No one has a monopoly on suffering

    Middle East realist directors are all awesome. From Iran to Lebanon, racial issues, religious issues, and wars can always bring up drama that is full of tension and does not make people overly dramatic. The same is true for this play. Although there is a bit of excessive force, the overall is...

    Very well made movie

    The Lebanese film "You Only Owe Me An Apology" (aka "Shame") could be in my top three of the year. Last year, my favorite foreign-language film, "Love Can't Tell", also abdicated, hehe. This film is too high-level, starting from small things, and covering issues such as ethnic hatred, refugees, and...

    World Peace! please~

    Very very good movie! Wars between countries have in turn affected disputes among the people. I am a person who does not like to read history or read social current affairs and politics. I think it sucks! As a human being, because life is too boring, in order to satisfy desires, a lot of things are...

    Humiliation as a manifestation of human nature

    Kant said: "Morality is anti-human". Eastern culture's understanding of this is that morality can be obtained, and it is fully reflected in "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", which is a response based on Confucianism and taking care of reality. The western understanding is that even if we have...

    We should all punch ourselves

    Happened to two small people civilians, because a small water hose started a series of things! Contains politics, religion, and humanity. The repeated switching between several scenes is just for "your and my dignity". At first, you may think that the male protagonist is a fool, but after seeing...

    The scars of history, the torn Middle East

    I saw this year's Oscar nominee INSULT for Best Foreign Language Film at the Quad Cinema in downtown New York, with a five-star recommendation.

    The small conflicts in the lives of the two men induced the Lebanese to humiliate the Palestinian refugees "I wished Ariel Sharon had wiped you out", and...

    The whole film can be described as a micro-knowledge

    7.5 points, [HKIFF#5] A typical drama that sees the big from the small. But when the movie saw the interruption, it was possible to roughly guess what was going to happen next. This is probably the biggest shortcoming of this movie. It lacks new ideas. common practice. The biggest advantage of the...

    Conscience and Wisdom

    Make big and small problems, take the slack off the cocoons, and see the micro-knowledge. Through political correctness and clichés, it bravely and skillfully explores complex political and historical issues. Freedom of expression is the cornerstone of artistic creation, and moral courage is the...
