Impressions of Abbas: "Life and Flow", "Where is My Friend's House", "The Taste of Cherry", "White Balloon"... He is good at revealing the deepest human emotions from ordinary events. His films have their own unique style, simple language and profound concepts coexist. I said that it was unexpected because the subject matter was not the kind of movies with a strong "rural" flavor in the past (sorry, I only watched the early classic works of Abbas), but it was unexpected because Abbas' quiet camera took people. Deeply substituting into the characters' emotions and embarrassing situations.
The movie comes to an abrupt end at the climax. With the sound of broken glass, subtitles began to appear, giving people infinite reverie. This is a simple story, a story that happened within 24 hours, a girl who relied on assisted dating to earn money to study abroad, a grumpy and jealous car mechanic boyfriend, and a retired university professor. The intersection of the three protagonists unfolds in the characters' behaviors and role assumptions... The characters with a sense of substitution are both real and imaginary. The professor chose the girl's service because he missed his deceased wife; the girl went round and round in the taxi just to see her grandmother, but she didn't dare to meet her in person; her boyfriend was very annoyed by his friend's revelation, and he was very angry. Love a girl but feel inferior. From the beginning of the conversation, the girl said that she was like the professor's wife, and the professor looked at the sleeping girl and couldn't help but feel the love of the elders for the child. The next day, the professor was mistaken by her boyfriend for the girl's grandfather. Until the incident came to light, the girl was beaten, and the professor took her home but was chased downstairs by her boyfriend. The swords were drawn, the girl was trembling with her head in her arms, and the boyfriend slapped the door roughly. The professor scrambled around the house until there was a loud bang, the glass was smashed, and the movie ended.
What happened later. Boyfriend rushed upstairs to fight the two of them? Girl desperately begging for mercy? Will the professor's embarrassing explanation work? In the final analysis, the contradiction in the whole film stems from the emptiness and loneliness of modern people's life. The girl needs to make up for it through assisted dating in order to live and study, so that she alienates her family. The boyfriend knows that the girl has done such a thing and is afraid that she will betray him and leave him. He has been living alone, his wife has died, and his children have not cared much about him. Everyone is struggling to move forward in this bizarre world. Some crossroads allow some people to meet, and some crossroads make some people go their separate ways.
The title of the movie, such as Mu Aihe, is actually quite acne-prone. It is obviously not love in the traditional sense, but it is just a trace of human feelings in the warmth and warmth of human feelings, and it is not so deep feelings. No matter where the background of the story is placed, it is actually the same in the bones.
