"Gone With the Wind" is a film by the Greek film master Abbas. An engineer and his two companions came to a village. What purpose did they come for, what their profession was, the director didn't tell us. In Abbas' previous famous film "The Taste of Cherry", a man who wanted to kill himself committed suicide for what purpose, and the director did not tell us. It can be said that these do not seem to be what the director wishes to express, but the film masters use what we consider to be very ordinary and ordinary lenses to discuss many profound issues. So, what is Gone With the Wind about?
An "engineer", we don't know what his profession is, it's just that people call him that. As the picture progresses, Iran is full of traces of war in my impression, and it is a relatively dry place. From the film, we learned that Iran is not like this. Perhaps the blockbuster Huang in "The Taste of Cherry" thinks Iran is a barren land, and under the sound of "spring thunder", the person who wanted to commit suicide dug from himself. Standing up in a good pit, looking up at the surrounding world, a green ocean, obviously full of vitality and beauty. This has to be said to be the different "strokes" of the masters. In the village where the engineer came, the sun was shining and the wheat ears in the fields were ripening. If it weren't for the movie, we would have thought it only existed in fairy tales. This song village is beautiful, but it is also rare. When you come here, you just seem to find the sustenance of human souls.
During the Lantern Festival today, my sister and I were at my grandmother's house. For several years, I went there when I was in my second year of junior high school, until this year. I forced myself to go. I am the kind of person who is very afraid of life and is very timid. Grandma is still healthy, and both uncles have built their own houses. The eldest uncle has been suffering from "diabetes" since he built the house, but after seeing the ghost teacher a few times, they all said that too much explosives were used for the foundation of the house. I saw him at the market last year and I almost didn't know him. I was so sad at that time, I was even afraid that he would die. We are all afraid of death, of the dead, and when it comes to our loved ones, that fear goes somewhere. I once dreamed that my father died, I was so sad, the dream was like reality. But in my grandmother's small "Dawo Taipa", there are so many families, and except for my grandmother's family, other families (of course my relatives) are not at home, either working or working In business, there are only one or two lonely old people at home. In fact, their place is very good, and they grow crops. I used to go back to my grandmother's house to eat fruit, bayberry, (seriously, is there still bayberry now, I haven't eaten a bayberry this year) plums, peaches, pears... my mother said that when I was a child, there were more Many, their old people moved there just because there were so many fruits there. This place is like a mountain village where engineers come.
Originally, he thought that he would only stay in this place for a few days, and when he arrived, he asked the child (I can't remember the exact name) where the sick old woman lived. Obviously, the purpose of his coming is related to the "death" of this old woman. He came here to film the local "burial" ceremony (asked the teacher, she replied), and this old grandmother is not dead, when he first came, he only hoped that she would die soon, but day after day On the day, the old grandmother is still alive, and his connection with the outside world is his only "wireless signal" receiver. However, the signal in this place is not good. Every time he runs to the mountain in his own car, this is where the dead are buried. In the place where most of the issues discussed are naturally related to this old woman, but she is always immortal. This place has not been "talked about" because of the arrival of the engineer and his companions. People are still doing what they should do. Different from his ideas, the local people have come up with their own soup to hope that the old superstar To be able to take a sip, so that people's wishes will come true. So what is this wish? Everyone hopes that the old grandma will get better.
During this long wait, the engineer apparently encountered "nothingness", and soon after getting up one morning, his buddies quarreled with him. They just lay there, very comfortable, they really wanted to get out of this "ghost place", the engineer meant to wait a day or two, maybe? And this may be the unknown, the waiting - the waiting of "nothingness". On this day, he got out of the car after the phone call and met the teacher of "Fazai". Because the teacher had a disabled leg, he sent him to school. He said that he would drop by to see Fazai. There was a dialogue between them, which probably meant that Fazai said he was very sleepy because he was doing labor this morning, and the engineer also said that in fact, sometimes he was very tired when he was idle, or even more tired.
When I was at my grandmother's house, all I wanted was to go home. The home is not very far from my grandmother's house, but it is also a long way to go. Looking at the opposite mountain, I know that my home is on the other side of the mountain. I just want to go home. Home here has become a spiritual support, but it has also become a spiritual bondage. Of course, being at my grandmother's house is no better than being at my own house. But now I think that there is still "nothingness" in the meantime. When I go home, I am not not "nothingness", but put myself in an ordinary environment, and it seems that nothingness has disappeared. The engineer's friends couldn't take it anymore, and they even said goodbye to the engineer.
The next day, the engineer went up the mountain again, for the same thing. However, at this moment, the people who were digging the pit on the mountain were buried by the collapsed soil, and there was a stream of dust coming out of it, which made people choked up. At this moment, the ceremony was no longer important, and saving people was the most important thing. He immediately started his car and went to call someone in the wheat field down the mountain. When the doctor came later, he also took the initiative to call the doctor to see the old grandmother, and lent his car to escort the digger. Later, in the large wheat fields, he and the doctor galloped past. We might as well listen to what they said:
Engineer: Doctor, what are your characteristics?
Doctor: I don't, so I care about the whole body, and if I have characteristics, I have to limit.
Engineer: So you should have a lot of patients?
Doctor: Almost none, I get to run around and see the natural scenery... If I am useless to the others, at least I get most of my life, I observe nature. It's better to observe nature than to do western dual instruments or nothing
...
Engineer: Old age is a terrible disease
Doctor: Yes, but there are worse diseases - death (um, death?) Yes, death is the most terrible, when you close your eyes forever, this scenery, natural Wonderful, God's generosity, that means you'll never come back
Engineer: they say the other world is more wonderful,
Doctor: But she came back from there and told us, is it wonderful there? They told me that it was as beautiful as the gods, but I said that the grape juice was better, and I would rather stage these beautiful promises, even the sound of drums from far away, which is very pleasant...prefer to be staged...
the last sentence should be It is a poem in "Gone With the Wind" by an Iranian poet. Abbas once said that his film was influenced by this poem. The conversation just now was filmed in a wheat field, which reminds me (every viewer who watched "Wheat Field" should have such an association) recall the wheat field in "Wheat Field", the wheat field - the field of hope is always beautiful , looks good, but the death of a man in "Wheat Field" is the death of a soldier and a hero, while "Gone With the Wind" is the life of an ordinary person, and Angelopoulos' movie is the same. The next day, when the sun was shining, the old lady died. The engineer also carried his backpack and planned to go on the road at this time. However, he still took a few pictures quietly, and then threw the human bones he got from the place where the diggers dug the pit into the small river. A small river flows through the village, with sheep and cattle grazing on both sides, as well as people who have lived here for generations and will live here forever.
The place where my mother lived when she was a child was quiet, and some of the homes were even shabby. My aunts all wanted to go out to work, and many went out. The film "Gone With the Wind", in this sense, is no longer about "nothingness" and "life and death", but also the development of society and the spiritual world of people, traditional and modern society, the mental outlook of the person. While the former homeland may be the homeland of human spirit, this place is mythical.
Just now, a classmate asked me if I was doing literary creation. I laughed. I don't have that ability yet. He said that now he can't write anything, he used a word that I can't remember now. What he means is that people in modern society, facing many things, do not have the time and experience to write. But words themselves have powerful power. We just finished the exam yesterday. After every semester, I feel depressed. What should I do next? I went to the TV station a few days ago, maybe he won't want me. After countless failures, I was even extremely afraid, but it was useless for me to be afraid, and I even had nowhere to go. I don't know what to do! Maybe, like "Gone with the Wind" in Abbas's movie, I just like these words very much: the wind will carry us. Gone with the wind! I'd rather stage these beautiful promises, even the sound of drums from far away, it's very sweet... I'd rather stage...
