Watch the movie for two hours, think for a lifetime

Abbas, like a god, and a film like a mystery, can really be said to be "watching the movie for two hours and thinking for a lifetime".

In addition, let’s talk about the pretense comments in the comment area. Almost no one talks about it. They are all about the second interpretation of the image concept and the so-called repetitive style, but no one really focuses on the male protagonist and the dead. Old man.

Let me talk about a few puzzles first. Why do the men on the engineering team keep guiding the sick old man with the boy but never visit the old man? Why do men go to the mountains to do electric work every day but never do nothing? Why does he love the thigh bones excavated from the cemetery so much? Why does the red girl ran when the man turned around? Why would a man look for someone to milk every day, the boy told him that the villagers could give him, but he would not go, until he found the girl in red, but chanted poems to her? And the girl in red avoids him? Why would he ask the guide boy if he is a good person and a bad person? Why did he mistakenly say "bad guys go to heaven, good guys go to hell" when answering the test answers for boys? Why did his companion never stay with him and finally disappear for no reason? Why did his companion complain to him about staying in the village for too long but things haven't made any progress? Why did he go down the mountain to buy painkillers for the old lady and the next morning the man was confidently carrying his bag and ready to leave, but it happened that the old lady passed away so thoroughly in the morning? Why did he see the windows of the people guarding the spirits, and there was a hint of joy hidden in his expression? Why did he use his camera when he left to visit the old lady's many ladies in soap clothes, and his expression? . . ?

I didn’t say that I understood. I just love to ask questions. Maybe I overthink, but I definitely don’t over-interpret. The happiest thing about watching Abbas’ movies is to think about these issues, and it allows me to use them for a long time. Realize in time.

I admit that during the whole process of watching the movie, he made a lot of seemingly unintentional dialogues and wandered away several times, but he didn’t think about so many questions here. He just dragged a few seemingly profound words in the comment area. I don't seem to be very polite to director Abbas.

    The open realist image is simple and calm, it is more like a prose or lyric poem without narrative, the use of off-screen space and the use of anti-plot follow Bazin's "movie ontology" idea, the character's motivation is non-existent or cloudless. Clearly, it is also an exploration of the propositions of "life" and "death". But it is different from Abbas' previous works: "Gone With the Wind" lacks the narrow space in the past, but uses a large amount of panoramic and large vistas.

    The cycle repeats, day after day. When you go out, you will always meet the child, the child is always taking exams, the old couple in the tea shop is always making trouble, and when you return to the temporary residence, you will always see the woman raising the child across from you. I always get a call while shaving, I always have to drive to a high cemetery to get a signal, there is always a young man digging a hole next to the cemetery, and when I come back, I always look at the kid who is taking the exam at school. While waiting, I don't know how many days have passed, and it has always been daytime. Only when night falls for the first time, do you wait for the target you want to shoot, and the movie will come to an end immediately. In the scene, the object is often deliberately not included in the painting or delayed in revealing. From the perspective of the actual shooting angle, it actually saves the actor's training, and puts it in the plot to fit a sense of alienation and goodwill. The girl who lights the lamp and milks the milk in the dark does not want to say her name or show her face, but she also does not want to receive milk money. (marked #2300)
