The DVD I watched had two soundtracks, one with the original sound and the other with what seemed to be a Taiwanese dubbed soundtrack. The default soundtrack of the film is the dubbed soundtrack. I watched it for ten minutes and felt that something was wrong, so I switched between the two soundtracks for a short paragraph. In the original soundtrack, the background ambient sound is very noisy, and the voices of the foreground characters speaking and actions are integrated into the ambient sound, and the sense of space is very clear. The dubbing soundtrack selectively retains the background ambient sound. In some scenes, the ambient sound has been removed, such as the chirping of chickens in the courtyard of Ahmad's house, because there are no chickens in the shot and the birds are completely removed. The voice of the characters speaks completely with the effect of the recording studio, no matter how far or near the space is a sound source. Some sound effects of the characters' movements in the foreground are artificially amplified, such as footsteps and natural water sounds. The dub soundtrack is entirely based on sound effects that accentuate the action in the foreground, regardless of its authenticity, Ahmad goes upstairs to pour water on his brother's bottle and accidentally drops the pacifier, which is a rubber , so the soundtrack was so light that it was barely audible, while the dub soundtrack was accompanied by the sound of a brittle plastic bottle cap falling to the ground. Ahmad turns around and pours water, the sound of water pouring into the bottle is clearly audible in the original soundtrack, but barely audible in the dub soundtrack. Ahmad went back downstairs and his brother was crying all the time. In the original soundtrack, Ahmad's mother shoved the bottle into the baby's mouth and stopped crying, but in the dubbed soundtrack it was him. Mom took the bottle and the baby stopped crying. The worst part was when Ahmad rushed out of the house and ran to Bosti with the workbook in hand, the original soundtrack was also tampered with, and I gave up the dubbing track, and was no longer interested in listening to it.
The scenes of Abbas in "Where Is My Friend's Home" are basically edited according to the development of the plot. In most of the scenes, the shots follow the movement of the protagonist Ahmad. If there is only the protagonist Ahmad in the shots When Mudd is alone, once Ahmad leaves the camera, he switches to the next scene. If there is another character in the shot, such as the scene where Ahmad is asking for directions to the person carrying the firewood or another child, Ahmad leaves the camera, the camera does not switch immediately, and will stop for a while, but does not wait for the scene in the camera. Another character will cut to the next scene after completing the action or appearing on the scene, which is different from the approach of some naturalistic directors. There are two exceptions in the film. The first one is Ahmad chasing Hemati back to Keerkai from Bosti, where he was stopped by his grandfather and asked to go home to get a cigarette. At this time, the camera did not follow Ahmad to go home to get a cigarette, but chose to stay in place until the craftsman who made the iron gate appeared. Ahmad came back and heard that they mentioned Nemazadi, and the plot was strung together. The film continues, and this approach makes the appearance of the iron gate craftsman more natural, as a turning point in the film. Another unexpected thing is that Ahmad met the old doorman, and the search for Nemazadi failed again. He broke up with the old doorman. The camera did not follow how Ahmad got home again, but followed the old door. The craftsman went home alone and went upstairs to close the window. Here, the picture of the old doorman's nephew is prominently displayed in the picture frame on the wall of the old doorman. This shot lasted for a long time, but the face of the child in the photo is not clear, but it is suspected that Ahmad is looking for The dramatic effect could explain the origin of this exceptional cut scene. However, many film critics think that this paragraph was deliberately done by the director to express the loneliness of the old man. I agree with this statement, but I think the most ingenious part of this paragraph is to deliberately create a time difference, because almost all the plots before this were in the It happened on a continuous timeline, and time has never been lost. The old man closed the window and then followed the scene of Ahmad squatting in the corner and sobbing. Could it be that Ahmad was just crying because he couldn't find Nemazadi? Obviously, the father who is playing with the radio indifferently is more likely to remind us of the mother's constant "wait for father to come back, I will let him teach you a good lesson" and the grandfather's words "I don't necessarily remember pocket money, it's impossible to beat once every four days. Forgetting", this hidden violent scene, makes it easier for us to complete the sublimation of the theme in our imagination.
Many people lamented that Abbas was able to make the trivia between children so touching. In fact, if we analyze it, the narrative content of this film is so simple, but the dramatic structure or dramatic conflict is so wonderful. The film begins with the teacher's criticism of Nemazadi's strict calendar, emphasizing the importance of the workbook, and laying the groundwork for the birth of dramatic conflict (contradiction). The workbook created an opportunity, soiled Nemazadi's pants and left a clue. Viewers already knew that Ahmad had taken Nemazadi's workbook by mistake, and knew what that meant for Nemazadi. Viewers start to wonder how Ahmad knew he had taken Nemazadi's workbook by mistake, but Ahmad was called by his mother to do some chores (conflict). Finally, Ahmad discovered Nemazadi's workbook and proposed to go to Bosti to return the workbook, but his mother thought that he wanted to go out with Ali and was not allowed to go out (conflict). Taking advantage of the opportunity to buy bread, Ahmad sneaked to Posti, and the audience began to worry about how Ahmad would find Nemazadi. With the help of passers-by, Ahmad found a house with trousers similar to Nemazadi's, but no one answered the door (conflict). Found an old man but refused to help (conflict). Begging for help from an elderly woman with limited mobility, but her pants were taken away (conflict). The person who took the pants denied it was Nemazadi's pants (clue interrupted). Ahmad finds a blue door, Nemazadi's cousin Hemati has just left (conflict). Ahmad rushed back to Ke Erkai, but was stopped by his grandfather (the clue was interrupted). Ahmad heard Nemazadi mentioned by the iron gate craftsman but was ignored (conflict). Ahmad followed the iron gate craftsman's donkey to Posty, but he was lost (the clue was interrupted). Ahmad heard the donkey bark and found the iron gate craftsman again. At this time, a child wearing pants similar to Nemazadi walked out of the room. The audience thought that he had finally found it, but the child's face was always on his shoulders. The window he was carrying was blocked, the craftsman took the window, the child was blocked by the donkey, and finally the donkey turned around slowly, and the audience realized that the child was not Nemazadi, and the audience fell into disappointment again. followed. The craftsman's child told Ahmad that he was also called Nemazadi, and that Nemazadi, whom Ahmad was looking for, lived in a door with a dead tree beside the forge. Ahmad found the dead tree, but was told by the old doorman that Nemazadi had just left (conflict). The old doorman took Ahmad to find Nemazadi, the child of the iron door craftsman (the clue was interrupted). Ahmad was writing his homework overnight, and the audience couldn't help worrying about Nemazadi's fate. the next day, The teacher checked the homework one by one, it was Nemazadi's turn, but Ahmad was late (conflict). Ahmad finally caught up with the teacher's inspection, and the teacher said it was okay (the ending). We can see that the audience is still worried about the fate of the characters in the film until the end of the film, attracted by the suspense caused by the dramatic conflict.
