Conflicts under the Lebanese zone | Gothenburg after

In Beirut of the civil war, all (Christians, Muslims, Druze, PLO, Israeli troops) took up arms at the same time. The war, which was bloody and difficult, ended in 1990. The conflicts between the different groups are, of course, left unresolved and only asking to come to the surface.

If it's the Lebanese, the Oscar nominated film The Insult that begins with the fact that the political opinions expressed in the film are the director Ziad Doueiris and the screenwriter Joelle Toumas, and no one d & # 39; other. That it is still necessary when you engage in the eventual involvement of Israel then Defense Minister Ariel Sharon in the Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982 is not strange. For although Sharon was forced to resign, he became Israel's prime minister twenty years later.

The film, which has no starting point, revolves around principled and stubborn men Yasser (Camel El Bascha) and Tony (Adel Karam). Palestinian refugee Yasser has a job as construction manager. The Lebanese Christian Tony snuggles up as a car mechanic, and has a pregnant woman to support him.

A trifle (a leaking pipe) leads to a scream and the two men begin to incrust each other. Tony asks for an apology but does not get anyone. Then comes a fault. Neither Yasser nor Tony have any plans to return. More is not necessary to start a war.

The film quickly evolves into a lawsuit, where Yasser is accused of being abused by Tony. The old wounds of the Civil War are torn apart every time. The lawsuit, which holds a lot of attention in national television news and social media, is also a battle between two star advocates, who are father and daughter (a useless dramaturgical take that adds nothing) [19659002]although sometimes a section of history almost superficial. The script design of the film sometimes looks too much like a construction that does not convince the film all the way when the director tries to capture all the most important events of the Civil War in a 112-minute film. On the other hand, the work is good. Instead of sticking to the norm in many conflicting sources, allowing the prospect to be Western, Ziad Doueiri is more interested in how the civil war is still affecting the people of Beirut and shows how much the political situation is still stable in Lebanon
