After watching the film in Cannes, Godard said: "The film begins with Griffith and ends with Abbas." This time, Abbas constructed another director. We saw a certain sequel. This segment became the set of this film and was repeatedly filmed. The "reality" of the sequel was shattered again, thereby constructing a reality. However, the real reality is a trilogy filmed by Abbas. Progressively, true and false seem to be no longer so...

To the effect, you should watch them in order, so that you can feel the transition between actors and the masses, directors and actors, roles and real people in the intertextual play of the Village Trilogy (Unfortunately, the Abbas Film Festival did not have "Life Growth flow"). This kind of meta-film package that consciously exposes the "fictional reality", its realism style makes life like a...

Later we grew up and forgot the clumsiness and stubbornness of liking someone for the first time, as well as the white spots of joy in the green...

Countless remakes test the patience of the audience. And repetition is the characteristic of life, and it is also one of Abbas' styles. An earthquake completely changed the trajectory of life, but a shooting attempted to make up for the relationship between the two. In love, the best gesture is not to wait, but to pursue. The chattering boy, not afraid of class differences, ignored the indifferent response, and showed himself. In the end, the poetic vision makes the mood dyed with verdant...

Abbas’s "Village Trilogy" should be the most relevant trilogy in my impressions of the Central African film series (such as the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy): The story of "Birth and Growth" in 1991 originated after the earthquake The director went to find the boy starring in the 1987 "Where is My Friend's House"; and the 1994 "Lover under Rugby" just used the play-in-the-play method to tell the two actors in "Birth and Growth". The relationship/proposal...

Borrowing from the scenes and actors in "Birth and Growth", in the filming, while fictionalizing and deconstructing, it is difficult to count how many layers of reality you have seen, and how many layers of reality are collapsing. When are actors real people? When is it acting? Finally, the long shot captured by the camera is the gaze of the director in the play and that of...

8.3 The alienation narrative is Abbas’s approach to life or close to reality. The fictional nature of the film’s reality is revealed at the beginning and the fictional nature of "Life and Growth" is shown in the film to remind the audience that there is a gap between reality and reality in the film. The difference is that in this way, the film is full of hints to real life. Although it does not have the ambition of "overstepping the limits of the film", it is a more sincere and excellent work...
