sequence
The faithful were knocking on the door, and the doors of the church were closed. There may be paradise, but it is a paradise that Palestinians cannot enter
1. The Parable of Naresa
An old neighbor told an absurd story of a snake: he rescued the snake with a shotgun, and the snake came to help him repair the tires in return. Good will be rewarded is an ancient legend and an immortal belief so far.
The stranger stole his lemons and came back and offered to help him prune the lemon tree, water it, and tend the saplings. Knowing shame and knowing wrong and taking remedial action, the reality is not hopeless.
The two older brothers who were going to make trouble stopped the violence by drinking free whisky. Palestinians also understand compromise and pragmatism.
A woman who was carrying a basket in the forest, took a few steps forward and then a few steps back, moved back and forth, and solved her burden in the most inefficient way. The road ahead is long.
The drivers who constantly exchanged sunglasses with each other could not see the road ahead clearly, and the blindfolded passengers seemed to be blind with blind people, driving together on dangerous roads.
Naresa, the place where God was born, the eternal promised land
2. The legend of Paris
The protagonist is like a country bumpkin who has just entered the city. He is constantly stimulated and amazed by the pedestrians on the streets of Paris.
Dressed up like all kinds of beauties going to a fashion show.
Cops chasing targets on balance bikes and roller skates.
"Tea or coffee?" The homeless on the streets enjoy the top treatment of the welfare society.
National Day parade, emptied avenues, cannons and cavalry staggering across the streets of Paris in the 21st century.
Japanese travelers who don't know where to go on the street, scary tattooed men in the subway.
The police again, not knowing whether to deport or escort a woman carrying a large woven bag, Paris, apparently calm and safe.
Sanitation workers who play golf with cleaning tools are also a kind of romance in Paris. They stop to watch the National Day military parade broadcast on TV. Though black, they were not total strangers in Paris like this Palestinian.
Gorgeous fireworks, the glory of France. What's with the Palestinians?
An embarrassing and candid refusal from the French studio. Your story can happen anywhere in the world. Perhaps, the story of the Palestinians is so ordinary and unremarkable.
The Luxembourg Gardens, which have regained their vitality and popularity, the police who measure the area of the outdoor coffee table, the Parisians in the eyes of outsiders are ridiculous and inexplicable.
When it was time to leave, a busker played him the saxophone as a farewell.
For the passionate and entangled sparrow, he had to reciprocate by expelling. It's a Parisian sparrow after all.
3. The satire of New York
Taxi drivers who only know Arafat show what Americans know about Palestine.
One-shot New York. Angels descend on Central Park. Angels and demons staggered across the streets of the night and in the fireworks of the world.
Be invited to a screening of your own film. The audience below the stage may be beasts, cartoon dolls, or just Halloween costumes. Just take a look at this perfect stranger who no one cares about his roots - Palestine.
Maybe people who care, look at the silent Arab supporters on the stage, the audience who can't stop applauding. The Palestinians need the support of their Arab brothers, a standing ovation, fixed etiquette on both sides, of course.
American production companies drift away indifferently, and Peaceful Palestine is an uninteresting comedy.
Drinking a bar is not to forget, but to constantly remember.
The last stop out of the United States, a juggling of security checks. America, you may be safe. Perhaps, you don't need to be so guarded.
4, go home,
The little lemon tree has grown to bear fruit, and the neighbors who once stole his lemons are still helping him with watering. Women carrying baskets in the forest no longer take a few steps back and forth, but carry the weight at the same time, take a few steps and take a few breaks. Summed up experience in practice, is it not a kind of progress.
People are dancing, closed spaces, flickering lights, no longer know there is heaven, already in heaven.
postscript
The story of the Palestinians seems difficult to tell in a light-hearted way, and the film manages to be light-hearted, but perhaps too light-hearted, and viewers who don't know the Palestinians' situation may not appreciate the variety of melancholy hidden in it. Compared to New York, the part of Paris has a lot to do with France. Paris is as playful and beautiful as the bright moonlight in Europe. Of course, it is understandable, which filmmaker does not love France. The whole film is undoubtedly a tribute to Tati.
