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.

    Overall, it's still a work of melancholy optimism. The cramped villages on the vast plains, the crowded people, the turtle who desperately turned over, the dung beetle who fell into the pit with the dung ball, all worked hard, the dying old man, the well digger who never showed his face, and the There are poems recited from time to time, all of which explain the beauty of this world and the illusion of the next life, and the fear of death. I think this is a religious country

    Don't speak, let the wind speak, let a tree speak, let a road to infinity speak, let the child's eyes speak. Kiarostami, who was in elementary school, hadn't spoken to anyone. He draws pictures with eyes, and only children’s eyes are a gift from God. Human work may still leave some traces in a short period of time, but the human voice and the sorrow and joy of life and death in it may be just an inexplicable wind, a cloud that has just stopped. Some people compare the large and small roads that appear in this movie and even Abbas’s movie to Abbas’s movie itself, his shots, and real life equal or even lower shots—that's what a child usually does. Only by the perspective can we see the things that most people don't want to see or can't see.
