Repainting "The Taste of Cherry" at the Abbas retrospective. At the end of the film, the soldiers holding flowers in the most obscure and real DV smiled. Abbas on the set used the walkie-talkie to talk about the ending, and "St James Infirmary" faintly sounded. This famous jazz song is about a funeral. It also appeared in Camus' "The Plague", and it also appeared in Larsvon's "I Made This House".

After humming and humming, I remembered the harmonica man's song in "Once Upon a Time in the West". It's not how similar the interval relationship is. The shocking feeling of watching "Once Upon a Time in the West" at SIFF this year is still very clear. Telling the ground is also the texture of the distant past, and the feeling that has not been clear all of a sudden becomes clear and sharp.

Think of what Mr. Buddy said to the first passenger (the soldier), the happiest time of his life with his brothers while serving in the military. In the end, the tidbits in the DV crossed the boundaries of reality and fiction and touched the memories of the protagonists in the movie. They are smiling faces, sitting loosely in the shade of a tree or in the sun, resting and laughing. Serious and heavy discussions of life and death have nothing to do with them.
Perhaps, some of them will become Mr. Buddy who is struggling to live or die, or, this is Buddy who closed his eyes and dreamed on a rainy night. The war in the dream is full of smiles holding flowers.
Abbas once said, "This funeral song appealed to me because there was an inescapable joy and optimism in Armstrong's performance, and this is the view of life that this film hopes to convey. I also think that this song is essentially Very close to Gayamo's poetry - happiness, finally born of sadness."
Might as well listen to that dirge, "St James Infirmary," dedicated to Mr. Buddy, and to all of them.
