蒙城电影节。喜剧包裹的悲剧内核,而且喜剧的癫狂并没有过火,悲剧情节的展现没有扑灭喜剧带来的乐观。亮点之一是在展现国际白左的虚伪和他们和白右同为一丘之貉的本质了,最后援助组织老大家里趴在泳池旁边一动不动的性感女郎作为符号明确了这点。在表现手法上,一方面摈弃了传统纪录片对战争的带来的直接苦难的消费,转而表现当地人民逆境中的乐观,另一方面塑造一个精通纪录片拍摄实际上却是吃里扒外毫无原则的配角,让影片完成了从主题到相应表现形式的批判。大反派嬉皮与阴鸷兼并的表演实在和瓦尔茨在无耻混蛋里太像了,而其家乡口音生疏英语却流利的设定直指西方民主国家是灾难的罪魁祸首。缺点是影片后半段的叙事有点散,而主角对仁爱自由和谐的宣扬仍局限于喊口号,甚至把大独裁者的独白搬上来完成情绪和部分主题的升华,破而未立的感觉很明显。
