In this movie, the camera never left that position: inside the windshield, above the dashboard, to the left or right. There is only dialogue, or please look at the facial expressions of the characters. In the dialogue between the characters, you can hear their identities and relationships, but they do not form a story. This is just a collection of all the conversations between the “passengers” encountered by the woman driving and her in a complete day. There are ten fragments in total, with some connections between them.

If we only watch American movies, we will become fools. After watching all kinds of weird movies, I at least start to think: what is a movie, what can a movie be used for, and what other ways can be used for performance. Even if we don't think about these issues, they will at least show us some contradictions in various cultures. Something without contradiction is not worth seeing, no one likes to watch.

This film roughly shows the concept of Iranians in 2001. The driving woman has decent, non-traditional jobs, stylish and positive thinking, about marriage, about self, and so on. She is divorced from her husband and has a minor son who does not understand the divorce of her parents, and criticizes her in a traditional way. It may also be that she did not understand the bondage of traditional culture to women (but generally speaking, men are really It is difficult to understand these). She talked a lot with friends, strangers, and a prostitute, which made people see that people all over the world may have similar troubles, similar reactions, and similar lives.

The whole process requires the audience's intellectual input and plot puzzles. Literary corresponding to Yaos and Isaiah, Hemingway and Carver, and Kundera at the same time—Ten not only creates blank space, but also involves space and feminism. In terms of form, it also completes an abrupt end-to-end response. Tune the movement. The great Abbas. (And, to discover the drama contained in life itself, it is Chavatini and Abbas, to dissolve fiction and reality.

    Abbas's experimental video is a "collage" of the whole film completed by the on-board camera. The five guests and 10 stories are strung together throughout the film; the main point of view is of course the female driver, but her connection with each passenger is natural smooth; the viewing process is more like reading a "dialogue" novel; the main core narrative is outlined through dialogue; the process of clarifying the facts is also a bit tedious, and the thinking itself has a kind of hypnotic boring; " Watching, watching and falling asleep" is probably the general viewing state/experience of the audience; the content itself embeds many topics/issues in Iranian society at that time, including but not limited to restrictions on women's burqa, divorced families The intergenerational relationship between children, the relationship between men and women under the binary gender framework, and the issue of religious belief, etc.; PS: An interesting observation is that the film consciously or unconsciously presents Iranian feminism in its budding state, with "Head up" revealed the trend;
