Abbas, through the lens, allows us to observe nature, which is to inspire us to make the most of life. We are usually not missing something, but missing something to discover.
Abbas' films are dull and unintelligible to most people. Just like the British patients to many moviegoers, many of them love literary films. Abbas is a film poet. His films are rich in imagery, and he needs to dig deep into the experience and have a lot of thought and life experience, including emotional experience, social observation, human nature thinking and so on. The language of the characters in Abbas's shots is often poetic, which may be related to Abbas's personal temperament and preferences. He is an Iranian poet himself. His poems are short and realistic. His words are not gorgeous, but full of imagination. Full of tension.

A person cannot live without love. (Disagree, but worth thinking about)
- What happened between God and the devil on Judgment Day?
- Very simple, God went to hell, the devil went to heaven.
Behind the window, the night was shaking. (This sentence is very poetic)
If I knew my guardian angel, the glass would not be attacked by the stone.
They say that the other world is more beautiful, but someone comes back from that world and tells us whether it is beautiful or not. . .
