Why is Home Why does a twelve-year-old child sue his parents?

"Why Home" has a douban score of 9.. The film tells the story of Zane, a twelve-year-old boy, suing his biological parents to the judge because they gave him life. What kind of experience makes a child do such an incredible thing? In the story, Zane's parents keep giving birth even though they are unable to raise and educate. As the eldest son of Zane, his weak shoulders bear the weight of countless lives. When his sister was forcibly sold to a vendor as his wife, Zane left home in anger, and then met a pair of mother and son who had no legal status and supported each other to make ends meet. However, life didn't care for Zane, and many hardships forced him to make a shocking move ... < P > As a realistic film, Nadine Labaki, a Lebanese-born female director, focused on the lowest social stratum in her own country. Through her lens, we saw an incredible but so real country, where everything from drug trafficking to children's sale can be seen everywhere. From the problem of illegal immigration to the most basic survival of children, there is no way to guarantee it. It can be said that any point in this film can be extended to a deep film, but Nadine Labaki focuses on the children through the series of evil events.

The story unfolds in flashback. Zane, a 12-year-old boy, became a juvenile delinquent for stabbing people with a knife, and in desperation, he took his biological parents to court. In Zane's eyes, biological parents are not as good as animals; In Zane's complaint, why did parents give birth to themselves and their brothers and sisters and live a life worse than pigs and dogs? In court, Zane's absent eyes have lost hope for the future. Why do you hurt people with a knife? Because Zane's favorite sister, 11-year-old Saha, was traded as a wife (xing) and a son (nu) to the shopkeeper Assad, and the dowry was ... several chickens. When Saha was tortured to death, 12-year-old Zane was furious and the whole person collapsed; Why are Zane's biological parents worse than animals? Because it was the parents' idea to sell their own daughter, when Zane tried to escape with Saha and tried to stop it, he was beaten and scolded by his parents. "Little bastard, do you want to be a hero?" Why does Zane lead a worse life than a pig or a dog? At the age of 12, she should have gone to school, but she set up a stall on the street to sell juice, work for a small shop, carry gas tanks and help her parents make soft drug drinks. When he ran away from home and ran into a kind Ethiopian woman, Tagles, he thought he could live a slightly stable life, but he was once again living on the streets because Tagles was jailed. Even this time, I took jonas, the son of Tagles. So Zane, a 12-year-old, had to make every effort, even begging or sneaking around, to survive with jonas, a 2-year-old. Note that it is survival, just like cockroaches or bugs.

The children's accusation against their parents in the court in the movie adds a new dimension to the movie. When childbirth is no longer a responsibility, but only a sexual instinct, is it a blasphemy to life? In fact, through Zane's mother's defense in court, it is not difficult to find that Zane's parents are not heinous gangsters. They can only say that they don't know how to educate their children correctly, and they can't shoulder their responsibilities as parents to their children. The inherent ignorance only makes them regard their children as commodities and tools. This cognitive ignorance is closely related to a turbulent and deformed social status quo, and the film thus satirizes social injustice and criticizes the imperfect social system more truly and powerfully.

In court, Zane said: I hope adults will listen to me. I hope that people who can't support their children will not be born again. I only remember violence, insults or beatings, chains, pipes and belts. The gentlest words I have ever heard are "Go away, son of a bitch" and "Go away, you garbage". Life is a pile of shit, and it's no more valuable than my shoes. I live in hell here, and I'm like a pile of rotten meat. Life is a bitch. I thought we could be good people and be loved by everyone, but God didn't want us to be like this. He wanted us to be trampled underfoot like carpets.

Finally, Zane in the movie smiled because he could get an identification card with his name printed on it. Although this does not mean that all troubles will disappear, Labaki said, "This is a little light of victory at the end of the tunnel. It is this light that allows you to move on."

Although this is a very heavy topic, I'm glad that a director like Labaki can put these stories on the big screen, so that we who were born in peacetime can see what is happening on the other side of the world.

Recognizing the diversity of the world can change our understanding of life, society and the world to some extent. I hope that when you talk about the Middle East with others, you can talk about something other than "the war has been going on", "the chaos" and "the horror".

Finally, as said at the end of the movie, may every brave child be treated gently by the world.
