First of all, I really liked how Leaf used sand in her
movies. But watching that along with the
film of the war and how the women waited while their men became injured in battle
reminded me of an act in Ukraine’s Got Talent show. A woman used sand to depict a tale right in
front of the audiences eyes, but more importantly she depicted the women whose
lovers where sent away to fight the war.
There is even a part that shows a woman holding a letter and crying because
she knew he was either dead or injured.
Later in her act, the camera shows people in the audience, especially
the elderly people who would have experienced themselves, crying because the
pain of the war and its bi-products are still very much prevalent in the
Ukraine and also in Russia. And there really is something to be said about those
countries that had so much death and struggles in the war. I feel like the losses are still felt
throughout those countries, and although it happened years ago, it is still a
soft spot for those societies.
Ps. I just now realized someone posted pretty much the exact
same thing below, but I guess that’s fine
