[@LittleKing94]

2:10 In case anyone is wondering, early on in the movie, the woman has a baby boy (her son) that she has to give away because she is trying to escape her country in the Middle East. (I haven't watched the movie in a while, so my summary may be a bit fuzzy, and I don't recall all of the fine details.) However, before she gives the baby away, she puts a tattoo on the back of his foot, so that one day, she'll be able to recognize the tattoo and be reunited with her son. Many years later, the woman ends up as a prisoner in a terrorist encampment, I believe. In that prison, she gets raped by a torturer named Abu Tarek. It is assumed that the father of the twins is this Abu Tarek. Now in this particular scene, when the woman is in the water, she sees the tattoo on the man. Initially, she believes that after all these years she has found her long lost son. But when the man turns around, the woman recognizes him as Abu Tarek. So, Abu Tarek, was the woman's son that she gave away to escape from the country. Growing up, Abu Tarek became radicalized and a master torturer. Unbeknownst to either of them, Abu Tarek raped his mother, conceiving the twins (the main protagonists of the movie).

This movie is in my top 3 of all time and this moment always remained with me. The story was beautifully told, the actors did an amazing job, and this moment was heartbreaking, on so many levels, but also provided them all with closure (of some sort). Absolutely stunning film, but incredibly hard to watch, at times ❤️.

Her gasp made me a small panic attack and I thought he was the twist

That gasp scared the living shit out of me when I first watched it.

[@donnahaynes138]

Most frightening mathematical question EVER

[@torquettalk]

People are talking about this movie and this scene on twitter. I haven't watched it yet and decided to read the plot on its wikipedia page. I got heartbroken by the twist upon reading it there and watching this scene next makes it worse.

[@GodDayums]

You should’ve watched the movie instead of reading the plot. You have lost the opportunity to feel by yourself the experience of this movie being watched for the first time.

I just watched this film. It has hit me in such a profound way.

[@outonthefeet]

For me this was the movie that most moved me in the last decade. What a story. Incredible that some people in this world have to suffer this kind of things. I know Lebanon very well - however, I am far too young to have experienced the horror of war.

To learn that you're the product of rape is one thing, but to learn that you're also the product of incest is a whole other level of horror

[@anxmlover]

Can you explain the context please

[@donnahaynes138]

@@anxmlover SPOILER ALERT: the woman Nawal recognized her long-lost son through the tattoo on his heel. When she goes to greet him, she sees his face and instantly recognizes him as her prison rapist. Her long-lost son wound up being the same man who raped her in prison. On top of that, she ended up pregnant from the rapes and gave birth to twins Simon and Jeanne who went on a journey to locate their missing father and long-lost brother. Their father and their brother are the same person. That's the shocking plot twist. That's why Jeanne gasped so loudly when her brother Simon told her the news.

Incendies is one of those great movies you do not forget. Its depth, richness and variety is like reading a great novel. But I’m not sure it’s the kind of film you want to watch twice. It was emotionally wrenching and draining.

[@bretya4932]

I had this thought on me about the twist in like halfway throughout the movie, and then I was like there's no way that's gonna happened. Oh boy, was I wrong. Even after the actual reveal I need to pause for about a moment and still can't believe the tragedy. Such a powerful movie

[@popop7850]

I had to read this book for my French class, and at the begining, i thoight it was going to be a boring book. But now i'm watching the movie, this story got one of the biggest plot twist i've never seen. I definitly recommend it.

i am not smart and ive never seen this movie lol

[@yafriendceko]

all this time they thought there were searching for 2 people. one person being their father, and the other one person being their brother. hence the 1+1 = 2. but they were wrong because they actually were looking for only 1 person since their brother is also their father. hence the 1+1 = 1.
