Having seen this movie before, I knew that plot line and I was able to look for subtleties in the story and on camera.
The moment I choose to describe is when Theo and Kee were in the building when it was being shelled. Theo ran into the building to search for Kee and her baby. There is constant shelling and firing between the military and the resistance. Finally, Theo finds Kee in a room and does his best to protect her. They run into Luke, however, and exchange a few reflective words, and then they try to escape. In the process Theo is shot, but one cannot tell too much because it isn't the focus of the shot. They proceed down the hallway after Luke is killed, and all the people in the building become still and reach out to touch Kee and/or the baby. Then Theo and Kee descend the stairs and run into a series of military men. All of them, once they see the baby, stop in awe and everything is still and silent. Once Theo and Kee are outside of the building and passed all of the troops, the fighting begins again. For a short moment, the violence ceased because life had begun.
