Jianjia is green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. "- He struggled all the way to find the girl he secretly liked, but what he saw was her standing in the cold and turbid river carrying cumbersome stones. He silently hid behind the bridge pier and watched with tears, hesitating. I remembered this poem.
This is a silent love story, without any words to express. They met in a gray construction site in Iran. He was in charge of the construction site's food and went out shopping happily; she was from Afghanistan A refugee, forced to make a living, dressed as a man and came to the construction site in place of his father who broke his leg, and took on the burden of life with his weak shoulders.
The kind construction site owner saw that she was overwhelmed by this burden and exchanged her position with his. She started Doing relatively light meal work; he, without his former comfort, resists the heavy lime. He is full of hatred for her, looking for every opportunity to carry out childlike revenge: splashing lime water, destroying the kitchen that has just been tidied... ...she did not say a word in the face of the injury. The
change was due to a wind. The wind lifted the curtain, and he saw a scene that had never been seen in the dark construction site: she was facing the cloudy mirror with her hair in a twist. Something softly blew After passing his heart, he changed again: he began to follow her all the time. When she went out and when she returned, he secretly kept watch on the rooftop; he put on the most beautiful clothes and dressed himself up beautifully, even when he was working. Will get dirty very quickly; he immediately stepped forward when she was in trouble, even if he offended a co-worker... He stood in the distance with an affectionate stare, silent concern.
He gave everything he had for this young crush: Inspector When he found out that she was Afghan, he tried his best to help her escape even if he was caught; her identity was exposed and she could not stay on the construction site, so he asked for leave to search everywhere; seeing her difficulties, he insisted on asking the boss for a year's salary because he was shy The trustee handed it over, but was fled with the money; he finally sold his ID card to become a black market account like her, but when he sent the money, he said it was given by the boss. In the
drizzle, she was about to set foot on the back . The journey of the township. She knocked over the basket, and he silently helped her pick it up, silently picked up her shoes stuck in the mud, and silently put them on for her. She put down the veil, silently stared through the curtain, and went with the car Disappeared in the misty drizzle. All that was left for him were shallow footprints filled with rainwater in the mud.
From beginning to end, he and her did not speak to each other. Her name is Barron, which means "rain" in Persian.
It is really dangerous to choose the theme of "love" in a country where politics and religion are integrated like Iran. However, the director cuts into the secret feelings of the two young men and women, which is different from the love in the noisy world full of confusion and eroticism in the past. It brings us a long-lost warmth and freshness. Everything is so unassuming, clean and pure. There are many details that the director is good at: he found a coin on the road, he stepped on the coin and slowly squatted down to pick it up. On the dusty construction site, on one side of the earthen wall, a small glass jar filled with clean water was inserted with a sprawling green branch. When evading the pursuit of the inspector, the switching of the camera and the clear panting sound are almost full. In the camera, his hat is slowly advancing, with her small black hairpin found on the construction site pinned to the brim...
The film was shot in 2001, when Afghanistan, which was constantly at war, was the focus of the international political situation. The massive influx of Afghan refugees into Iran has also become an urban problem. That year, Iran made three films related to Afghanistan, except for this one, "Kandahar", which was filmed while walking without a script. Maintaining the consistent Iranian film style, similar to the form of DV selfies, the lower-class civilians are the best actors, and their lives are endowed with rich language through the lens. I heard that "Barron" defeated "Kandahar" to represent Iran in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Although the crown was not broken in the end, through the lens we once again saw the suffering brought by the war under the banner of love and justice.
