"Sometimes when you are idle, you die."
There is no clear plot. You can only feel the engineer's many self-talking dialogues as an outsider.
Some boring plots are matched with the golden mountains and plains of the Iranian plateau, and the long-lens tracking perspective smoothly impacts people’s eyeballs. There seems to be no such poetic picture in the movies I have seen. Abbas’ films are a poetic visual embodiment, simple and generous. It also gives people a feeling of fullness.
There are almost only young boys in the frontal dialogue with the engineer, and many of the engineers' self-talk in the camera. Every time an engineer who came to the village answered the phone, he had to go to the cemetery on the mountain to pick it up. The engineer unconsciously paid attention to the old woman moaning behind the blue window, and was alienated from the people in the village. The milking girl, the digger, and the hitchhiker did not show up. In the dark cellar, the engineer chanted a poem:
Oh, kind one, bring me the lamp
And a window through which
I can watch the crowd in the happy street
In my night,so brief,alas
The wind is about to the leaves
My night so brief is filled with devastating anguish
Hark
Do you hear the whisper of the shadows?
The happniess feels foreign to me
I am accustomed to despair
Hark!
Do you hear the whisper of the shadows?
There,in the night,something is happening
The moon is red and anxious
And clinging to this roof that could collapse at any moment
The clouds,like a crowd of mouring women
Await the birth of the rain
One second,and then nothing
Behind this windows,the night trembles
And the earth stops spinning
Behind this window,a stranger
Worries about you and me
You,in your greenery
Lay your hands-those burning memories
On my loving hands
And entrust your lips, replete with life`s warmth
To the touch of my loving lips
The wind will carry us
The wind will carry us
This poem may really be the main theme of the film. This is a world of love, and the people in the village are also so alienated. The milking girl knows that there is darkness behind the shadows, so she would rather use this darkness as a place to work. need.
All that came out of the well was the sound of digging the channel and a few simple answers, "Going it alone can make things easier." There was not much communication between him and the engineer. He didn't want others to see him, and was finally carried away. Only a pair of feet flashed when I got into the car. The leg bone of a person who ran out of the pit was kept on the car by the engineer. When the engineer left, he threw it into the river and floated away with the water. This may be the engineer's abandon after awakening. In this village, he realized what was the moan behind death. "Old age is the most terrible disease, but there is even more terrible disease, death."
Man is an animal that always hides behind the window and groans. Accompanied by the fear of death, it keeps groaning.
Will not die, but will grow old, and slurp endlessly in the broken A bag of bones.
That bone is a symbol of death. When the engineer carried it, he couldn't get rid of it. He who was watching the sick woman secretly might have been thinking about a question: "People are tortured like this, why are they just waiting for the last breath? Is it tortured by illness?" Finally, when he knew that the old woman was moaning because of old age and weakness, he might understand that a person's life will be accompanied by lingering fear. So he chose to abandon this fear. After leaving the village, he might face the complicated life and work more calmly. Since he is destined to be accompanied by fear (the fear of alienation between people, the fear of aging), then let this All the psychological baggage drifts away with the water, and drifts away with the wind. "THE WIND WILL CARRY US", the us here may be the fear of life in nature. I dare not abandon the tortured
movie that is like purgatory . I don’t feel it. The love of life, because I only feel the expression of the lack of love in the movie, because of the lack of love, we are so thirsty, and such a painful person fears this love and hate life.
PS: This is the first Abbas work I have seen. I don't know the director's consistent style, so please give me your advice.
