Great movie



I think this movie has one of the best ending I have ever seen. if this movie would had been made in America I think now it would be in top 10 best movies ever made. Everything about it is so subtle and symbolic: from the children game until the end of the movie. Ipu is a simple man but who has a clean soul - a soul of a child, that;s why his best friend is a child. He is caught in the middle and is given no alternative but to die so others can live : to be a scapegoat. he accepts this and his situation but all he wants it is to be remembered - that's why he asks that the funeral to be done before his death. as you can see he imagines that a lot of people came to his death and considered him a hero. He.s not afraid of death but afraid that he will be forgotten.
there are some grotesque and absurd scenes : like the one where Ipu asks something for his family and the others have second thoughts and consider it;s to much to give him - i have no words that can explain what i.ve felt when I.ve seen that. it,s...
and the ending...oh,, genius... one of the best. Is an end that has a lot of meaning. Ipu is shot by the boy so he can be an hero : it,s like their game became reality and with his death Ipu went in a better world - not this one where people lost their humanity and dignity.

I totally agree. I have this film at home and man...I felt so much anger and so much pity that I don't think I will ever see this movie again. It's incredible how real it feels. Cuts you off right to the bone, man!
