上周冲着Sundance观众票选电影以及放映后导演访谈的噱头跑去看了这部Jordan电影...话说这辈子还没见过活的导演呢……
结果发现导演真年轻啊，看着大不了我几岁……电影真好看啊，看得我超感动……
这部电影其实不怎么小众（针对有些认为我老是偷偷搞些小众的同志特别指出）。Abu Raed的演员是一个长得很有观众缘的老人，在剧中的角色也是。
他很孤独。他很善良。他很穷。
他住在这个城市的贫民区，这里有太多太多不遂人愿的事在上演：家庭暴力，被迫辍学……
Abu尽自己的所能去帮助这些可怜的人们，但却无力和这整个社会对抗。他在恳求的眼神下总是心软，却也最终毫无办法
他心中也曾有过小小冲动，想要杀死那个家庭暴力的男人一了百了，却也最后没有勇气做到。好人怎么会下得了手杀人呢？
他最终为这无解的问题找到了一个解答，牺牲自己换来了他们的自由。
看了电影不知为何觉得挺悲观，好像和导演想传达的东西有点背道而驰……
人啊，根本是微不足道的小小蝼蚁嘛。所谓梦想，和现实相比根本遥远得很可笑。而妄图改变这个世界的不完美，该是一个多么无奈的冷笑话啊
ABOUT CAPTAIN ABU RAED
Captain Abu Raed is a universal story of friendship, inspiration and heroism set in contemporary Jordan.
Abu Raed is a lonely janitor at Amman's International Airport. Never having realized his dreams of seeing the world, he experiences it vicariously through books and brief encounters with travelers.
Finding a discarded Captain's hat in the trash at work one day, he is followed by a neighborhood boy who spots him wearing it as he walks home. The next morning he wakes up to find a group of neighborhood children at his door, believing him to be an airline pilot. And thus the friendship begins. Happy for the company and attention, he takes the children to colorful places around the world through his fictional stories and inspires them to believe in their own ambitions.
Murad, an angry outsider to the group, vindictively attacks Abu Raed and the sense of hope he instills in the children. In his quest to prove that Abu Raed is a liar and a fake, Murad begins to discover new possibilities in his life. Meanwhile, Abu Raed's friendship with Nour, a real female pilot, begins to grow as she deals with her own set of pressures from life in modern Amman.
Captain Abu Raed is the story of everyday people intersecting across social boundaries. It is a story of dreams, friendship, forgiveness, and sacrifice.
