Good viewing of the film, not asking for a thorough understanding

I belong to the kind of pseudo-literary and artistic young women who often take boring films to torture themselves but don't really like them in my heart, but I have always looked forward to seeing Abbas and his films with very weak plot.
"Gone with the Wind" should be the most fragmented and inexplicable one of his several works I have seen. Fortunately, I have never "looked at the film well without seeking detailed explanations", and the poor translation and fragmented plots did not affect my reading. Get relish.
The first thing that was attracted was of course the Greek countryside in the yellow land. I don't think the director has much beautification, the main reason is the ubiquitous dust. Whether it's the white houses or the villagers coming and going, they are all shrouded in dust, not the pure and elegant taste of oil paintings. The fragmented life scenes gave me an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Those with no ups and downs and the daily repeated dialogues draw the viewer and the object closely.
In fact, I don't like to pull out some truths and concepts from a film, but let my Hamlet and your Hamlet meet and exchange ideas. There may be an argument. Sometimes it is interesting.
As usual, the plot can be said in one sentence: an engineer and his colleagues came to a small village and lived in calm and calm for two weeks. The story ends here. We don’t know why they came, we don’t know what he was thinking when wandering in the village, who he was calling, or whether he achieved the purpose of his trip in the end. The movie is full of vague factors, concealing the message of death and the power of life. The former are like an old lady lying sick in bed and a bone vented when digging a well. The latter is like a tortoise crawling hard on a dry cemetery and a fly pushing a dung ball.
"Gone with the Wind" is probably counted as a "private movie", just like the director's personal diary, there are many causes and consequences because the director himself is so familiar with the heart that he is too lazy to record them one by one. Of course, if you are a tireless semiotics lover, you can also interpret countless square meanings from countless details. Abbas is simply paranoid in details, showing the smallest things bit by bit, so that I completely postponed his thoughts during the viewing process, and had long since lost the idea of ​​questioning the meaning. In fact, a big concept can conceal everything: life itself is meaningless, so why bother to care about in the specific life process?
Denying the importance of the existence of meaning does not make a person a nihilist. The appearance itself is sometimes much more important than the meaning behind the research. People are always dissatisfied after seeing the skin. They want to know what's underneath. After many twists and turns, they often don't want it because the skin underneath is bloody. So a piece of nonsense.

    Four brushes. 1. From the plot of "Ask for Way" repeated in the rural trilogy and the "search, loss and creation" pointed by the film, to "Taste of Cherry", which is unwilling to be born in this world, to "Gone with the Wind" to dig out the thigh bones In the daily poetry, Abbas expresses the protagonist’s attitude and pursuit of life and life by presenting certain specific behaviors in the film over and over again, extracting the most beautiful and touching feelings from the trivial and trivial. 2. A life without poetry, probably only endless repetition and nothingness. Our reproductive, working, and laboring cycles are just like the dung-ball pushing and clumsy turtle. 3. The long-distance dialogue ignores the sound distance; the characters in the cuts have no facial treatment; the use of the long lens is more smooth and natural than the previous work, and it flows in a soothing flow that is close to the normal state of life. 4. My night is simple and clear, Feng'er meets Ye. My night is full of pain. Listen, do you hear the shadow whispering. 5. "Death is the most terrible thing." After Abbas, there is no director who can bring me such a touch. |A person cannot survive without love (9.5/10)

    Most of the comments focused on the beauty of Abbas’ images, but it seemed that the story was not understood correctly. The story is about (should) a TV reporter covering the funeral ceremony of the ignorant feudal village in the village. The reporter and his friends live in the village and wait for their report material, that is, the death of an old man in the village. But day by day, the old man's condition gradually improved, but his friends and leaders urged him to go back and give up the report. In the middle of the journey, the reporter encountered a villager who was buried alive. He drove around to tell, and finally managed to rescue him. In the early hours of the next morning, when the reporter drove away from the village, he found that the old man had passed away. The villagers walked towards the old man in black clothes. The reporter just took a few photos and left. This actually means that when a person is really facing death, he realizes the heavy cruelty of death, and also understands his ignorance and selfishness in hopes that the old man will die soon and become his own report material. The wind blowing wheat waves, the most beautiful part, is also the only experience he has left his driving seat. The words of the doctor (philosopher) inspired him. After he left the village, he threw the bones found in the cemetery into the river.
