Incendies 母親的告白

(My Rating: 4.2/5)

Watch Movie Trailer

Without too much knowledge and expectation to see this movie as my girlfriend bought me the ticket……since the first shot seeing number of middle-east orphan war child’s hair shaving shot backed with saddened Radiohead’s “You and Whose Army?"…….I know I meet a movie with something special……it’s a master piece of works in nowadays movie standard especially for those who love independent culture (or Radiohead?!) with concerns and thinking on humanity, war-child, war, peace, religions, love/hate of middle-east in our universe….. although the end of movie seems a bit overly dramatic becoming anti-climax (preventing the movie becoming a real 5 start movie), it is still a sad but highly stunning movie you should not miss…..
