The question is a bit confusing. But this sentence is also given to Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises".
Have you ever seen any of Kusturica’s films? Thinking about it, it seems that there is only one musical "Balkan Punk" that I haven't seen. What do we remember about Kusturica's movies? The real story I can only say is that "Dad on a Business Trip" is relatively complete, starting from "Arizona Dream", "Underground", "Black Cat and White Cat", "Life is a Miracle" all the way to the latest "Promise to Me" , I remember all those genius to crazy ideas are realized one by one, wild and unruly personality, exaggerated, humorous, witty and even vulgar performances, a mixture of gypsy style and Balkan folk music, everywhere. The surrealism depicts the political changes and folk customs of the entire Serbian nation for more than 20 years.
"Give Me a Promise" is in the same line as anti-dictatorship, anti-wars launched under various names, anti-useless high-tech, anti-uncontrolled development, the pursuit of freedom and equality, and the desire for peace and true love. These were all placed on a rural boy. He accepted his grandfather's request and went to the city to fulfill the three promises he had made. Finally, after going through ups and downs, he finally realized it. From the perspective of the three promises: selling a cow, buying a statue, and marrying a bride. The basic material life, beliefs, and love are the things that humans should share and are truly worth pursuing.
Kusturica no longer needs to use a certain award to prove himself. He can always use a farce that is not deep enough, but can more perfectly express the endless image and poetry, with the colorful light and shadow and the genius who cannot be copied. The conception of expressing one's unforgettable love for the nation and the people of this land for more than 20 years is very rare in the history of film.
What I want to say is that the heroine resembles Liv Tyler during the "Stolen Fragrance" period.
