How to Go Home is a film that reflects the life scene of refugees living in Lebanon through the experience of the protagonist Zan. The reason why countless audiences cry depends on the content at the family level. However, director Nadine Labaki's intentions and hopes go far beyond this. In Zambia, he was taken in by Rakhil, an Ethiopian refugee, and helped to take care of his son jonas. Because Rakhil was arrested, Zan assumed the responsibility of parents and took care of Jonas' eating and drinking Lazar.

Unfortunately, Zan's attempt failed, perhaps because he was too young, perhaps because he was too stubborn, but in the final analysis, it was because of the embarrassing living environment. When he couldn't eat, Zan used to tie Jonas with hemp rope like his mother, making a living by selling drugs, and even had the idea of selling his children to traffickers. ?

These two very similar scenes are a contrast. The director is asking you through the screen: Are these tragedies just an example? The film does not directly give the answer, but presents some more cruel facts. In Lebanon, a glass of juice costs only 1. 1 RMB, while a shirt costs only 9 yuan. But you want to entrust someone else to apply for an ID card, but you want 1500 dollars!

Although some welfare organizations sympathize with refugees from time to time. But in form, it's like visiting a zoo, happily shaking the bell and teasing the refugees in the cage. Zan's parents may never go to school, or her sister may get married early, or be forced to work as a child laborer before reaching adulthood. In their cognition, it is good for daughters to get married early, at least they can have food for themselves, and other children can get more food. In this living environment, what happened to Zan and his brothers and sisters is a cycle.

The Middle East problem has existed for about 3000 years, at least half a century. At one time, Lebanon was a rich and open country, and Beirut, the capital, was once called "Little Paris in the Middle East".

However, under the influence of the war, this small country with a population of only 6 million has poured into at least 6,543,800 Syrian refugees and 450,000 Pakistani refugees. The countries of other refugees are even more complicated than statistics. According to the statistical report of UN 20 17, Lebanon is the country with the largest proportion of refugees, and children account for 53% of all refugees!

In Lebanon, there are 65,438+064 refugees per 65,438+0000 people. In the Bible, Jesus' prophecy about Capernaum became a prophecy. Zan's experience in the movie is just like Jesus. He has been fighting the fate of refugees and even sacrificing himself to save others. Finally, he was sent to juvie.
