Aphasia and Bystanders

My favorite in the whole movie is the lemon tree planted by the Suleiman family, a neat white wall, a small sofa, and a standing cabinet. This is a house that makes one feel at ease. What makes us feel impatient with the place we live in, maybe it's like a person's cold, which is usually fine, but suddenly starts to feel wrong.

He started to hate his uninvited neighbors, some disturbing social phenomena around him: out of focus law enforcement, strained family relationships, and gangs to provoke over-energy young people, the society is sick. . Even if there is not a word, the feeling of boredom is indeed heating up, but fortunately, the director can live in another place at any time to experience it, and find some partners for his works by the way.

The journey has begun, but what is intriguing is that the honeymoon period is surprisingly short, whether it is Paris with a petty bourgeoisie, or New York, a modern metropolis. Like his hometown, there are all kinds of messes here, and even more. But the most hateful thing is that once everyone knew that he was from Palestine, they immediately put on a sympathetic expression that I understand you. Palestine, it must be a place full of tears, is the war over there? French cultural workers, fiddling with their proud perspective mirrors, examining this "foreigner", you must have hated your original place, are you satisfied with your new place now? Through Suleiman's astonished, angry, but unspeakable anguish, I guess he must have wanted to say, "No, you don't understand, please listen to me." But how pale the power of language is, thousands of words can't match the invisible prejudice that the world has produced. Before the excuse, the stereotype is already speaking for you. Silence became the only resistance, even a depressed look was more useful than speaking. When introducing this work, even if it is misinterpreted as "Heaven can be waited", it is more useful than "It must be Heaven". After all, Palestine is paradise. In the context of some cultures, this is a joke that no one believes. Of course, no one would say that this is impossible in the future. Arrogant and arrogant people often have the right to speak.

After several discussions, the director returned home. In fact, nothing has changed, but the seedling of the lemon tree has grown a little bit, and it also bears fruit. This may be the benefit of the neighbors... Of course, this has not changed. His inner irritability, after all, it is impolite to come uninvited. But at the end, the happiness of the young people in the bar seemed to heal the old man who was looking for answers, and the woman with the tile urn on her head in the sun seemed to tell him that silence is the truth of life.

There is no dialogue in this film, perhaps life itself, if it can be observed, does not need to be described, and before a meeting, silence may be worth a thousand words. No matter how the world looks at it, life moves forward in a note of joy and sadness, just like a lemon seedling returning to the soil, it will always grow silently, bitterness and sweetness are the essence of life, and heaven itself is us. The real world in which we live.

It Must Be Heaven quotes

  • Professor: First... Welcome to New York, It's good to have you here at our school. I will start by asking you to share with us your experience as a filmmaker and to speak about the ways of being and feeling that have or have not permitted you to achieve... the conditions of becoming what we call a citizen of the world. Is you sense, your identity... of place a thing of the past? Has your nomadic existence extinguished your love of one place? And extended it to a love of all places? In other words are you a perfect stranger?
