      About the movie "Like a River in Love"

      Like Someone in Love, "Like Someone in Love", the mainland's translation is really expressive. It was already 3 am after watching this movie last night (one day last year). Abbas's movies always have a lot of silent long shots. People who are used to Hollywood blockbusters will find such movies boring. It is a bit like the blank space in Chinese painting. After all, what we can see is limited, and what we cannot see is left blank for people to imagine. There is nothing better in art than this....

      Make the audience a fictional

      It's hard to imagine how Abbas could make such a "Japanese" film so penetratingly and skillfully, with all the details and emotions full of rich and delicate Japanese cultural characteristics.

      Some people say that this is a companion piece to "Legal Copy". "Legal Copy" describes how the two accept the copy and enter a virtual life. In this "Like a River of Love", the "grandfather-granddaughter" relationship attempts to When it was established, it was broken by the outside world and...

      Everyone talking about the title of the movie has gone astray

      If you write a running account diary, and you are asked to think of a suitable topic, will it be difficult?
      What I see in my eyes, the beautiful fragments of my personal experience, cannot be organized into language descriptions. This movie is about describing some of those clips. So it doesn't have a deeper meaning.



      The theme of the movie, if you think about it carefully, it is really not "just dating." The girl is obviously a supporter, but it's probably okay to...

      peep

      As far as the movie itself is concerned, it is completely depressing and always makes people guess what the next step will be. For example, what happens after the bracelet falls off. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the seafood soup made by the old writer has How delicious no matter how blunt the boyfriend's remarks are full of machismo life is not a meaningful start the

      Surprised by Douban's eloquently empty and mindless film reviews

      I haven't read film reviews for many years, but I still want to understand everyone's analysis of the characters when I watch a literary film occasionally.

      Surprised by the blindness, emptiness, and piling up of nouns in some film critics, it is inexplicable, dare to ask these film critics really watch the film seriously? Is the purpose of writing a film review just to show off your film expertise? Movie skills are only superficial, and the real thing is a story. Shouldn't the story...

      Mature film language with impeccable details. But can the integrity of the story itself really be replaced by so-called openness? In addition, the male and female protagonists in the film are all sociology students! That girl has at least entered her second year of sophomore year, and in the exam, she answered the theory of evolution as Durkheim, and her studies are worrying; not only that, but this girl started her current part-time job as soon as she went to university in Tokyo. Forget about...

    The film depicts a Japanese social story with no trace of Iranian culture at all. (Phoenix Entertainment Review) 
    The distinguishing feature of the film is that trivial matters are narrated according to the time logic without interruption. The time in the film is less than 24 hours. The subtle changes of each person in the plot and the display of personality are vividly and vividly. This way of shooting is very bold. (Phoenix...

    Movie quotes

    • Noriaki: [subtitled version] What do they teach them in there? As if dusty, old, foreign books will open their eyes.

    • Noriaki: [subtitled version] If we're married, she has to answer me.

      Takashi: Ideally, yes. That's why I'm saying you lack experience.

    • Takashi: [subtitled version] Who said not to love her? I said not to marry her.
