A few things to say about "Where Is My Friend's Home":
1. What is a village? You can find the most authentic, original, and unpretentious answers in Abbas' films.
The adults and children there are always busy with unfinished things, not very heavy work, but they can't stop for a moment, no complaints, no anger, no expressions on their faces, just do it, just move forward. go. As for why it is like that, no one will think, no one will care, and no one will resist. They think the hard work is what they have to do, and it is providence.
2. Adults think that the affairs of adults are the most important and should not be delayed. The child's affairs are the most irrelevant, no matter what it is, it can be ranked ahead of the child's affairs. For example, teasing the child to get a cigarette should not be sloppy. They never understand the feelings of children, do not listen to the voices of children, they just take for granted what the children need instead of listening to what the children need, and make decisions for the children that they think are good for the children and cannot be refuted or tolerated. Refuse. 3. Amu's grandfather stubbornly believes that only by beating children can they obey their parents, obey the rules, and truly educate a child to become a talent. In fact, from the fact that Uncle Anmen borrowed paper from Amu, it can be seen that Amu has developed step by step as his grandfather expected. At the beginning, Amu still firmly held the workbook in his hand, and when his grandfather said a word, Amu no longer refuted the workbook and handed it over to Uncle Anmen. Let's think about what kind of talents will grow up in such an environment? We will only ask children to be obedient, and if they do a little bold things, they will make children feel that they have done something wrong, and they will be afraid to do everything in the future. . It leads to no imagination, no creativity, lack of self-awareness, no understanding of rejection, no independent thinking, no assertiveness, and no commitment. No matter what the child's nature is, the biweekly stick education will sooner or later wear away the child's innocence, and sooner or later he will become a person like his grandfather and his father, numb, depressed, and clinging to self-styled. How can people with empty eyes, no vitality, and no vitality send fresh blood to this country?
It's not that adults become numb when they grow up, and even the most lively and lovely children don't have a smile on their faces, they just stare around, not knowing what they are carefully looking at...
This rigid, numb atmosphere has spread to every corner of the village, and all men, women and children are spared. This is not just a question of education, it is a question of a country, what makes them so numb and oppressive? What makes them so respectful of authority? Why is there no smile on the face of the child? .
Abbas is really amazing. He can see the big from the small. Through the small things of the children's homework books, pure documentary techniques, simple dialogues, simple character description and relationship composition, he reveals the current situation and future development of the Iranian people.
