I can understand the audio-visual language, but the so-called theme of "death can't be free" can't convince me at all. . . The fable is so obvious that it feels like the text of the fable is translated into an audio-visual language. As soon as the old man spoke, he changed. . . This is too out of line with the general rules of narrative. . . Unconvincing and difficult to accept. . . Is this the possibility of a movie? I can't convince myself either.
A passage from Abbas is quoted in Baidu Encyclopedia. He explained: "In the eyes of God and social norms, choosing to die is the only privilege a human being can have, because almost everything in our lives is predestined when we are born: our date and place of birth, our parents, our Our home, our nationality, our culture..." But people can't choose their own birth, and the lack of freedom in this initial choice is decisive. You can breathe the air, enjoy the sun freely, and have all the conveniences created by post-modern industrial civilization. From birth to death, during this long or short period of time, you can live "freely" under the permission of the system you are in, and choose friends, marriage, work, etc. according to your own wishes, but this can show that at birth Besides, are we free? the answer is negative. Decisive unfreedom removes the false mask of all this "freedom"--from the beginning we are slaves of life. The various "freedoms" we emphasize are nothing but self-consolation to relieve helplessness and cover up despair. The most deceiving of all is that we are free to choose death
But is it interpreted like this in the movie? I'm afraid not. It was a long shot of a person looking for the dead, the rhythm of life. He hardly ever got out of a car, and the picture was full of dull yellows. Except for those shots showing the twists and turns of life and those empty mirrors expressing desolation and poverty, the frame is also limited. Yes, the sudden appearance of the old man is like the incarnation of Allah, and he wakes up BADII (this name will not be related to BAD...), but it doesn't impress me at all (Is it because I have heard too many such teachings? for the sake of...). Let him see colorful, get out of the car, enter the crowd, and watch the sunset. . . He also said that he no longer wanted to die, and finally he took a taxi and experienced the death that was about to be born in the midst of thunder and lightning. . . This gives me the feeling that this movie is about "a person who seeks death can't but suddenly finds the meaning of life" (all of this is still broad, as an audience I have not been able to feel the death and rebirth of the protagonist) , writing this, I suddenly realized the problem, the protagonist did not have empathy, I don't know anything about him, even the reason for his death (of course, this is the director's intention, to broadly express the reason why people seek death everywhere), I can’t connect him with myself, let alone bring myself in, and I can only be a bystander. . .
Isn't all art called art because it dissolves universal emotion into individual emotion, which moves people's hearts and generates empathy?
Incomprehensible, why is it the Palme d'Or?
Not to mention the last tidbit and the smug Abbas wearing sunglasses! There is a feeling of being fooled and mocked: look, this is making a movie!
The only thing that moved me in the film was the simple and kind Iranian poor.
After reading some background information, if this film can be called a film, it is indeed very different. Abbas does adhere to his artistic ideals and fights against the system that restricts him, which may also help him win awards. After reading a little bit of his life, I really doubt, does he understand the story?
Compared with 2011 A Space Odyssey, let's see how the master creates atmosphere, uses montage, grasps rhythm, and thinks deeply. What is philosophical thinking in movies!
This is called the possibility of a movie.
Despite seeing a lot of similar views. Such as Siyang_seonlady "What a bad movie, do you want to commit suicide or not, the meaning of life is to look at the problem from an optimistic point of view such a sparse and simple thing actually pretends to be a literary film and shoots it with salt and taste. Damn it. Just like the person who wants to commit suicide is an idiot, are you willing to give up the beauty of the sunrise and the taste of cherries? Does Abbas not understand that a person who wants to commit suicide is normal? It is very likely that he has considered the beauty in life or feels bad. More than profit "Warring States guest "When the film is only used as a tool to tell the truth, it loses its taste~~"
. But this is still a common opinion, seeking discussion, criticism, and advice.
