The mouse was trapped in a trap specially designed for him, Yusuf was trapped in his hometown where he would never come back and the city he yearned for but had no shelter, and Mamu was trapped in self-deprecating ridicule. In the pile of white tiles at his mercy after "Photography is dead".
Yousef has compassion towards mice and Mamu has compassion for Yousef. It may be human instinct, but more often, it may be because of seeing his own despair in the opponent, but what follows is only It could be the powerless feeling of wanting to do something but unable to start.
What touched me the most in the whole movie was the scene where the two of them drove across the fields. Mamu said, this is a perfect shooting location, with the sheep in front and the lake in the back... But after a few seconds, I imagined that this landscape might appear. After looking at my own lens, I finally gave up. Under the encouragement of my younger brother, he just left the sentence "Forget it, fuck" and left in anguish. At that time, I felt like crying in my heart, but in the end I left the sentence "Forget it" and pressed it down.
A trip to leave, a desperate love, these two words that have been messed up actually allude to too much helplessness in life, because we can't do it anymore, so we can only do this, with sour teasing laugh it off. Some things may be a bit difficult, such as stopping an ex-wife who is about to go away and never looking back at the airport, even if it is just a word; some things only require a little determination, such as stopping the frame and taking a picture of the camera in your mind. But in the end we didn’t do anything. We drove across the landscape, we were holding the phone in our hands and couldn’t open our mouths. We closed the door and exited after getting someone else’s sentence "No one is needed now". We hid behind the pillar and watched. The reluctant people drift away. In the end we just said to ourselves, forget it, fuck.
Unfinished.
