On the surface, the film looks like a normal movie without a "point of view", just showing a small snippet of everyday life, simple and interesting. But further observation will reveal that it involves many social issues, such as the issue of assistance in dating, the difference between urban and rural areas, the situation of the elderly intellectuals, the emotional and future issues of young men and women, and the spiritual issues of women living alone. Then, if you go deeper and understand, you can realize that this film is actually exploring the definition of "identity" and the relationship between reality and fiction, just like Abbas's previous films. These three levels (1, sketch films of daily life; 2, art films that explore social issues; 3, academic films that discuss the aesthetic understanding of film art and language.) are handled by Director Abbas as relatively independent and complete, and mutual The rupture is more decisive, and the core content is placed behind everything with exceptional care rather than expression. These make me think that this movie is not a "material individual" "this movie", its greatest value is that this movie presents such a face - by Abbas's directing ability and aesthetics, language expansion and Exploring the appearance of the sum of attitudes in art. It is a purely academic film, an interpretation of language and aesthetics, despite its apparent simplicity as a light-hearted sketch.
Clue:
The girl entered the old man's house, and the old man was doing translation work, which also prompted the beginning of the specific "conversion". At the same time, the old man explained that the woman in the famous painting taught the parrot to speak, and the girl understood that the parrot was also teaching the woman to speak, which also meant this transition. Since then, the identities of both men and women in the assisted dating have gradually evolved and changed, and finally returned to the original point: the men and women who assisted the dating (originally) - the man and the woman in the favorite painting (the painting on the wall) - the father and daughter (the photo on the small table) - Husband and wife (photo on desk) - grandfather and granddaughter (boyfriend thinks) - grandfather and granddaughter (neighbor thinks) - men and women who support dating (truth is revealed).
"I'm not trying to distance the audience," Abbas said. "I want to remind them that film should be as exploratory as life. If you're curious, you'll definitely find enough information."
