When I watched the film, I was really struck by this sentence.
The film recounts Mazan's experience of growing up from a girl to a woman and following the turmoil in Iran.
The whole film, the screen is black and white, starts recalling from the airport, and then returns to the airport, the color fades out, and I live in the moment. Jasmine petals fluttered gently on the screen and scattered.
Putting aside the war, let alone politics, let's just talk about growth. It's really heart-wrenching and powerful.
Due to the war, Mazan was forced to leave his hometown and live in another country. I don't want to rely on others, and I don't want to live uncomfortably, so I move again and again. Although the picture is cheerful, the feeling of being displaced can be imagined.
Experiencing love, with good intentions, but not thinking about it, was abandoned. But how can you be sad?
Then she wandered alone, eating junk food, picking up cigarette butts and smoking, sleeping on the bench, and suffered a lot. After waking up in the hospital, she was really homesick this time and wanted to go back. I tried to hold back my tears on the phone, "Mom, I want to go home, don't ask anything, okay?" "Come back, don't ask anything." "Really don't ask anything?" "Yes, child, come back ."
Seeing this, such a subtle touch hits the heart, your parents will always understand you, whether you are rich or poor, sick, in short, no matter what you become, there will always be open for you, as long as you want to return , they are there.
Later, they got married, but gradually realized that this was not what they wanted, so they wanted to leave. While hesitating, the grandmother said, "I thought you'd stand up to whatever happened. ... Listen to me, I got divorced 55 years ago, and I dare say no one mentioned it in that era. Divorce. I dare say I'm happier living alone than living with a bastard. Let me tell you that the first marriage is a second exercise, and your next marriage will be more complete. You cry Because you are frustrated, young people can make mistakes." If it wasn't for her words, she would not have the courage to change.
Speaking of which, I have to mention her grandmother, a woman who is so dashing, strong and independent.
Since she was a child, her grandmother has always encouraged Mazan in her own way, setting her free and letting her understand the truth for herself. This is very rare.
"Grandma, you always smell great, how do you do that?"
"I put fresh jasmine in my bra every morning so I always smell
great." "Awesome!"
"Mazan, You must always be true to yourself, no matter when and where." You have
come all the way from a girl, through a restless and rebellious adolescence, through a teenager's ignorant and injured emotional road, through a failed marriage, but you did not choose to give up life, Even if you were desperate for a while and committed suicide, but then you deeply understand that nothing is more important than living a good life. Along the way, we have carried too much and resisted too much. We are lonely and hesitant, but also independent and strong. The only difference is that despair and hesitation are temporary, and the brave and strong side has never disappeared.
Therefore, my grandmother's words are like a good medicine. You must be faithful to yourself, face it bravely, and never give up on yourself. No matter how difficult it is, we can overcome it.
Be true to yourself To live truly and bravely is the life of jasmine for Mazan, a life lingering with the fragrance of jasmine.
ps: It is also worth mentioning that the adolescent Mazan likes punk, and the clothes say Punk is never dead. At the risk of getting caught, go to the roadside vendor to buy discs. At home, he also uses a broom as a guitar, shaking his head wildly, so cute. Yes, who has never had such a puberty, with a restless and rebellious heart under a calm appearance.
