Capernaum
I relate to the main character, not because I am poor, Lebanese, or my sister was sold at 12 to a man that would inevitably kill her soon after by raping her. But by having parents not having to bear responsibility for what they created. This is the best film to showcase, what it brings to. What these kids suffer behind closed doors of their apartments, what no parent allows outside observers to see. What responsibility they in the end never bear by having their child instead on his own having to bear it, when it were them who have made him the way he was. Bearing children shouldn't be considered one of the basic human rights, it should be strictly regulated, otherwise, humanity is on the path of ending up as what humanity looks like in another film, called: "Idiocracy". And parents should bear full responsibility for their children's mishaps, crimes, and offenses up until 21 years old. This film is violent, and this is why it is one of the realest movies there are.
Mini Review: I relate to the boy—not by poverty or nationality, but by having parents who refused responsibility for what they created. Capharnaüm exposes what children endure behind closed doors, unseen and unspoken. Until society holds parents accountable for their children’s lives and actions, we risk a future like Idiocracy. Brutal and unflinching, this film is one of the realest ever made.
