some messy thoughts

Even in sacred church ceremonies, there are staff who don't follow the rules. The priest took off his hat in exasperation and entered through the side door. After that, like everyone waiting outside the door, we could hear what was happening inside by the sound. But everyone was expressionless. Then the priest opened the door and tilted his head to signal everyone to go in. That action doesn't look like a priest anymore.

The male protagonist is very sensitive to violence and danger. It is most obvious in the scene of the plane. Shows unease, but doesn't run away. Maybe this is Palestinian nationality?

When getting off the plane, the male protagonist slammed the door and knocked the captain who was saying "Welcome to Paris" to the ground. At the same time, the door blocked the view of the audience, so that people could not see the captain's condition. Seeing this scene can not help but smile.

If everyone is naturally open and armed with weapons, perhaps the world will be very peaceful instead.

In the movie, the male protagonist watches the world like a god. With his hands behind his back, he kept silent, observing the world as he walked.

The sound of a siren just within earshot can make one involuntarily nervous. That's its "meaning".

When I saw the last tall man dancing the folk dance with his eyes closed, his heart was filled with emotion. It seems to taste his moment: sour, yearning, intoxicated...

"I want to tell you something. You Palestinians are weird. People all over the world drink to forget. Only you people drink to remember."

There are two scenes I don't understand. The woman carries the water and waters it with the neighbors.

There is only a feeling of emptiness after reading it. No matter where you go, even if you change countries, there are still misfortunes, unfriendliness, and violence.

    Following his expression and sight, he traveled around the world, and came to the era of silent films with color and sound versions. The big loop structure covers small loop details, the ouroboros-style absurd reality, the lens is exquisite and straight, and the outsider's perspective wandering in the scene, the editing is neat and neat. And naughty, as cute as the director's performance, it's wonderful.

    【Shanghai Film Festival Screening】Palestinian Director Roaming the West. He watched the whole process indifferently, and the only time he spoke was that he was from Palestine. The deserted and tanned streets of Paris, the New York supermarket with AK47s in hand, and the parks where people are robbing stools are alluded to irony and fun. But there are also straightforward and boring scenes such as police chasing people. The scene paragraphs are very fragmented. two and a half stars

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?
