Do people have the right to choose death?

The opening movie in 2022, I didn’t expect to be able to watch the movies that Abbas missed when it was shown in the archives, thank you? I hope the remaining movies can be arranged one after another.

After the movie, Xiao Xu said that he did not understand what was worth discussing on this topic. It is true that the topic of this one is not as good as the other ones, as if it is a big chicken soup, but if you think about it, this topic is really worth discussing in Iran, which strictly follows Islamic teachings. As shown in the movie, suicide is a very sinful act for Muslims, and it is unforgivable to condone, support or even help others to commit suicide. This is why the male protagonist encountered many difficulties and was repeatedly rejected when seeking help. . The issue of Abbas, in the eyes of us who have no religious beliefs, it is a matter of course for people to have the right to choose death, but it is undoubtedly a kind of gentle and firm solidarity, and a courageous question of authority. The most gentle thing about Abbas is that, after saying all the big and small truths, the male protagonist finally chose to go to the pit to execute his own death plan-all the preaching dissipated here, "I understand your pain and Your choice, even if you can't empathize with it."

The movie footage is still as beautiful as ever, the second-floor outpost of the Afghan security guard, the man eaten by the excavator in the shadow, the moon swallowed by the dark clouds at the end... When the last tidbit came out, I couldn't help but sigh: I am grateful for the 4K restoration technology! I finally understand why such a great director as Abbas is so unpopular. If the whole scene is full of unrestored pictures, not to mention those extremely beautiful scenes will be greatly reduced, and it will be a bit difficult to watch the whole film.

I always love Abbas!

    I really can't see what's good. The fifth edition of Abbas's Palme d'Or has fallen short of standards. Whether it's Abbas's cherries or Imamura's eels, they are all mediocre works. Therefore, rather than awarding these two films alone, it is better to award the previous achievements and bonuses of these two directors. At the end, there is a scene of Abbas filming. The theme of Abbas' films has always been to blur the boundaries between the real and the fiction of the film.

    "Survivor" is about driving down the road in search of earthquake survivors. The Taste of Cherry is a man who drives down the road seeking to bury himself. It is as simple as only one person, one car and one mountain road. They have no answer in the end, whether to live or die.
