On paper, “Omarom” calls for a false one, Akin, with something impossible from us: a 12 -year -old member cares about Hitler’s youth, because he cares about his mother in the last days of World War II. While you are in that, you may sympathize with him.
But as “Amrum” advances in the sick rhythm, perception of the German island with a majestic name, it becomes clear that the film is not looking for sympathy for Satan – that will be an excessive simplification of the purpose in the heart of the graceful and deep drama in Akin. (In other words, the deaf of the offensive tone “boy in striped pajamas”, this is not.)
Participated in his writing, German director Hark Boh, who was originally supposed to direct the project based on his own childhood memories, and the project was finally transferred to Akin. Under his supervision, “Omar” wants us to deal with the possibility that the central character of the film will be in such an early age (which is depicted by the impressive expatriate Jassper Pellipeek) very similar to any child, and partly the unfortunate product of the toxic brain washing. According to his age, he has the ability to absorb good and evil around him like a sponge.
What makes “Omar” moving the soul is early perception that if Nano was raised under different circumstances, by a different kind of people other than his distinguished Nazi parents, he would have become an ordinary child, and he would do good instead of fermenting in hateful ideas that were forced to adopt. This is the type of thing that can make it a certain type of observed art only – there is a person in the root of any evil and the only way to disable it is to know that origin.
The story is revealed in 1945, when Nanning lives with his mother Hill (Laura Tonk), Anta (Lisa Hogistter), and his younger brother on Omar Square. Radio news announces the fall of Hitler. Hill gives birth to a very broken and pregnant at the same time, and refuses to eat anything other than white bread, butter and honey – simple foods, but the value that was almost exhausted during the war.
Pointing for deep love and feeling the duty of his mother, Hill’s hunger and sadness pushes Nanning to go on an epic journey similar to the island to obtain these impossible goods: some of the chemical flour that may be kept as a medicine, a small sugar from his grandfather, etc. Along his pursuit, a local hunter helps a seal trap in the hope of earning a little money to buy other necessities. Looking for rabbits and hanging with his friend Hermann (Kayan Kobic), who was brought up by the bustling Diane Kruger farms in Hitler. Hermann and Nanning notes Bursa on “Mobi Dick” to Hermann Melville on their trips-it may be a father like Hitler, and his sunken ship is Germany, and the whale is God.
As a Turkish author of sandy works such as “Head-on” and “The Edge of Heaven”, Akin moves in Nanning’s work of love and generosity with great heart. It is his most valuable cinematic work yet, sometimes approaching the great food for this next type. He cited “Stand by Me” by Rob Rainer as a personal inspiration, and it is easy to know the reason. In the movie “Amrum”, childhood classes from staying high, and the fatwas mean and children are just children, with the ability to give a hand to each other when they do not guide the evils of the world, but through an internal moral compass.
Thanks to the preparation of the wonderful coastal coastal in the movie, Carl Walter Lindenlob, which corresponds to the modest and official lens, which allows the painters sites to talk about themselves without putting them romantic, “AMRUM” feels classic in a thorny way, similar to its moral mood in the layer to James Gray “at the time of Harmjidon.” “As such, it provides a taste of a large screen on the screen about the innocence, loss and endurance of childhood.
The pain in which you may accumulate through “Amrum” lies in the division between that innocence and the indescribable sins of the age. Can virtue be persistent at this time and space? Can good and decent instincts continue amid harmful work? Akyen is an effort to ask these questions, quietly and at the end. There are no big moments, huge detection or advanced degrees in his film created and produced accurately – he is clear and direct as films come. Although this immortal guard is only without teeth. It is very similar to the NANNING journey, “AMRUM” itself is rooted in the work of a broken generosity.
