After watching the quiet life record of an old man with gray hair, artistic clothes, watery eyes, and a cute expression for half an hour, I checked the background information of the film, and then watched it again. The old man is a 60-year-old Palestinian director Suleiman, who starred himself. There are almost no lines in the whole film, and he uses eyebrows and eyes instead of words. The film follows Suleiman from his native Palestine in search of a new home — one without the daily violence, roadblocks, and identity checks. So he went to Paris and New York, but things were not as simple as he imagined, and he gradually discovered that these cities and his hometown staged similar plots. The director shares his own perspective as a Palestinian in the language of video, expressing his own thoughts intuitively and leaving room for him to let the audience follow him and calmly listen to the impetuousness and unease of the world. Expanding on a timeline is a relatively common technique in movies, but it reflects a political theme in a comedy way, and narrates a movie in a performance similar to performance art. This is the director's uniqueness and makes the director powerful. The embodiment of inner strength and wisdom.
