Both films end with powerful visual statements: a montage of real people killed in Iraq, the raising of an American flag upside down, as a traditional distress signal to other nations.
在此次影展上的兩部影片（原諒我- -還是不知道另外一部）都以大魄力的畫面陳述作為結(jié)尾：在伊拉克死去的士兵的蒙太奇組接； the raising of an American flag upside down,（求這句的翻譯）作為向其他國(guó)家發(fā)出的求救信號(hào)。
