Incendies | comment |
Incendies is a 2010 Canadian mystery-drama film written and directed by Denis Villeneuve. Adapted from Wajdi Mouawad's play of the same name, Incendies stars Lubna Azabal, Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin, Maxim Gaudette and Rémy Girard.Nawal, a dying Middle Eastern woman living in Montreal, leaves separate letters to her twin children to be read once she passes away. Jeanne is to deliver hers to the father the twins never knew, and Simon is to give his to the brother they never knew they had. The siblings travel to the Middle East separately, where they each experience acts of brutality, uncover a startling family history, and have revelations about themselves. | |

Heroic BSoD: Nawal suffers one after the little girl gets killed by the terrorists. She suffers a fatal one when she runs into her long-lost son at the swimming pool in Montreal... and finds out he is the same man who tortured, raped, and impregnated her during her imprisonment at Kfar Ryat. | |

Parents as People | |
Incendies / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: According to Simon, Nawal was a cold and distant mother throughout his and Jeanne's life, which he has always resented her for. Of course, she has a Freudian Excuse, what with the trauma and horror she has experienced in her home country having made her a harsher person in general. She didn't even want the twins, being children by rape and better off with their adoptive parents, but warlord Chamseddine convinced her otherwise. | |

Shout-Out | |
Incendies / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The film draws a fair amount of similarities between that and the story of Oedipus the King. Oedipus (translating to swollen foot) has kids with his mother. Nihad of May had his foot tattooed as a baby, then had kids with his mother. The plots are also similar in the way that in both stories the main characters are trying to uncover the story of their past. Oedipus tries to uncover the story of his prophecy. Jeanne and Simon are trying to uncover the story of their brother. | |

Silly Will: Simon thinks this of his mother's will. The notary assures him that Nawal wasn't crazy by the time she wrote it. | |

Incendies / int_e13156e1 | comment |
Mama Bear: Nawal, especially to her first son. She walks across half of the country looking for him. The anonymous woman who attempts to give her daughter to Nawal to save her from being killed by the terrorists also seems to be one, which doubles as Foreshadowing. | |

Forbidden Love | |
Incendies / int_f64b5d46 | comment |
Forbidden Love: Nawal's Eastern Orthodox Christian family strongly disapproves of her lover, Wahab, a Palestinian Muslim refugee, and murder him. They then attempt to honour-kill Nawal herself before her grandmother intervenes. This relationship is pretty much the catalyst for the entire plot. | |
