1—"Legal Copy" The British writer James Miller came to the Italian city to give a lecture for his new book "Legal Copy". He discussed the point of view in the book with readers: the argument about the authenticity of artistic creation is unnecessary. A French woman who deals in antiques leaves early because her son is hungry. Fortunately, Miller and the woman met again at her antique store, and they drove to the countryside to see something. Along the way, they talked about art and about life, but they quarreled. In a cafe, the female owner thought Miller was the woman's husband, and she began to discuss marriage with her around Miller. So they're wrong, and Miller starts playing the woman's husband, the two go on a date, go to a hotel... The film is about contemporary art, art as an aesthetic that should reflect the present, its time, its trends, its morals and its Emotions. They begin by discussing the relationship between fakes, art and reality. Artistic reproduction is similar to human reproduction. We are all copies of our ancestors' DNA. So why must the work of art emphasize originality? With the debate between the two, the artistic level quickly entered the life level, and the scholar became a replica of the French woman's husband. There are many different ways of thinking between men and women in the relationship between the two sexes. This is precisely one of the characteristics of contemporary art, exuding enthusiasm for popular taste and popular culture, and making no secret of its connection with daily life in the creative language. It starts with a relationship about identity and life. The two pretended to be husband and wife who were already together, and went to communicate between husband and wife... Whether it is what the work expresses can be regarded as a good work, or only a good work can express what... What can you do at any stage of your identity? Or what kind of identity does it take to get to that point... It's about what beauty is. The meaning of "beauty" should naturally contain some immutable things. The French literary goddess Juliette Binickasch is very good at interpretation. Even if she is not in her youth, she can still exude charm in her bones. It's about parents and children. "The lovely thing about children is that they have fun in time and enjoy life." "But children can live in the moment because their parents pay for them." It is about modern women and families. Some people hope that you are independent enough, and advise you not to blindly pursue ideal marriage and ideal love, which will ruin your life if it is not realistic. But you can also firmly state that I am not married to live independently. Although you can live alone, don't be envious when you see that there are lights waiting for him to come home no matter how late, the fireworks in the home with hot meals and hot dishes, and the children's playful years are quiet. It's also about love. Love is expressed in different ways. But don't always wait for the best time to express. Because you really know what the best time is. In the end it's an open ending. Perhaps "original" or copying, the value of a work of art should lie in its own quality. What is really moving is not the composition, technique and so-called art, but the emotional resonance that the viewer evokes when he sees the subject. Just as what the two-person world needs most is the understanding and tolerance of two people. Art and life are more important than real.

    The so-called "legal copy" refers to neither the original nor the imitation, but the process between the two. What Abbas emphasizes in this masterpiece is that the original and the copy are a contradiction that can only be established in the context of the capital principle. In other words, copyright and property rights protect the commodity value of art rather than the artistic value. From an artistic point of view, imitations are just as beautiful as the originals. To appreciate this indiscriminate beauty, we should not limit our perspective to a single logic of binary opposition, but should always be exposed to the long history, cultural heritage and many Wash your eyes in the language system. So when the hero and heroine come from the narrow closed space to the loose public area, the light suddenly turns from dim to bright. The author has pinpointed two classic elements of modernity: the taxi circles around the center of the earth again and again, and the phone calls between the son and the grandmother over and over again, so the love that the men and women in "Like a River of Love" finally get is both imitation The product is also the original. Abbas used the mirror of the movie as if to persuade modern people not to be too pessimistic: the love in the consumer society is mass-produced, and the ancient love is also passed down from generation to generation.

    As Abbas himself said, discussing the boundary between real and fiction is just an excuse, and what is concerned is the change in the emotional relationship of the man and woman from strangers to "couples". In fact, it is an experimental film that challenges the audience.
