剧情介绍
As soon as Muzamil is born in a village in Sudan, a saint in the village predicts, “This child will die of twenty.” Unable to accept the curse, under the overprotection of his single mother, Muzamil turns 19 years old. It shows the outstanding Mise-en-Scène.
When searching for a blessing on the day of her firstborn child's naming ceremony, Sakina (Islam Mubarak) is instead given a curse. A travelling sheikh prophecies that her son, Muzamil (played first by Moatasem Rashed then as a teen by Mustafa Shehata), would die at the age of 20. In what is now a coming-of-death tale, a devastated Sakina is sentenced to mourn her son while he lives - an endeavor her husband could not stand to bear. Growing up under the constant loom of death, Muzamil becomes increasingly curious about what it means to live beyond his mother's confines. Encouraged by local elders, the overprotective Sakina relents and allows her son to study the Quran with the other children his age. And in this newly found freedom, Muzamil finds friends, enemies, love, and tempters, though what he truly seeks is a sense of the present and a chance at the future.
I won’t do any better
我那残破不全的父亲,可怜又可悲的母亲,还有我那被捆绑却又挣扎的生命。
如果人类意志亟待被磨损和毁灭,苦修的意义究竟是什么?自我、美德、神谕,都脆弱不堪,牢记死亡的一百种方式,依然不懂得怎么应对失群、失去、失望。因为知道他在20岁不会死去,所以我尤其愤怒,观众只是比真主更为真主罢了。
评论几乎都是在探讨生与死的话题,批评导演没有把少年的成长拍出来,淡化了主题。但实际上如果从苏丹内战的历史和人们对真主意志的怀疑这两个角度解读,可以品出浓厚的阿拉伯哲学味,这部电影不该只有7分
看过的第一部非洲电影 质朴简洁的画面 传统的鼓点让人感受到非洲文化的魅力 印象最深的画面就是一袭黑色长袍的妈妈走在白色长袍的人群里 20岁后的Muzamil是否会拥有全新的人生 希望他可以像摄影师说的一样 沿着尼罗河走到欧洲
6/10。叙事零散,不了解苏丹历史和宗教背景比较难懂,片中最值得探讨的角色苏莱曼叔叔并未充分展现出新思想与旧传统的碰撞。影片的中心思想,与其说是神的旨意,不如说是封建迷信给心灵套上的枷锁。穿着黑色哀悼还活着的儿子是贯穿全片的讽刺,第43min致敬米开朗基罗《哀悼基督》有些黑色幽默。(#看的版本只有98min)
3.5
被神诅咒的人,结果在20岁那年重新开始活着
一般~
从你一出生就被教诲,什么是不被允许的。哪里是不能去的,哪些东西是不能碰的,哪些人是可以碰的……甚至连你可以活到几岁都已被精准预言。这样的人生,这样的社会,啧啧!
非洲和宗教是神秘的,尽管我不能理解他们的信仰,但我尊重。整部片子就是玫瑰公主的宗教版,有些地方印象深刻,但有些视角令我恶心。
另外一块土地的生命观
意义大过于内容
怎么说呢,很难代入到这个故事里,可能场景离我的生活太远了
这个属于后殖民叙事吗?
