My understanding is that it tries to provide us a gather of gender-based violence. It never blame someone or a certain gender, but gather the violence which women and LGBT members might come across in the past or even now. Thouth it makes the whole story very rediculous and unreal, we can feel that every violence had once happened in our real life, just in different times and scenes. So that really touched me.

"Trying to hide my immense fear, I said goodbye to my wife and son." Going deep into a family of terrorists and directing a ducumentery itself is so shocking and fearful. A story of the intergenerational production of terrorist, the dust, the smog, the prayer, all of them just be told so calmly, but all have a great mania. Like the pure black smog rising in the end, the story is a long nightmare.

The film took great chance to adapt a sooo famous book and even turned it into a musical drama! And they apparently succeeded. The songs are great, the acting is phynominal and the story itself is touching and romantic. The only thing that could be improved is the cinematography and editing. A few scenes, like the parade when the general dead, just need a wide-angle lens and fast editing to make audiences feel engaged and touched even more.

No one has known that it did happen in America in 1939, just a few months before the war of great evil. But everyone has to face it now because it is the TRUTH. In this very time, this very moment, a night at the garden is a must see for EVERYONE.

A Great Documentery. The director uses a truely sociology angle of view. The film did not judge anybody and anything, and it even didn't give a certain answer about whether their movements were terrorism or not, however, the value of the film is that it leaves so many questions to be solved: what on earth is the border of social movements and crime and terrorism? How did the organization become a "like-terrorism" organization?...... So we consider the film a ponder, which based on sociology and environmental ethics, which is both objective and touching. And I'm quite sure that, in this very time, we do need this kind of documentary.
