It may have nothing to do with the language of the entire film, and the emotions behind the story are more moving. As I gradually lost the falsity in the film in the film, the imitation record, and the event restoration, I found that Abbas had already broken the boundary between the real and the virtual. This movie based on news and current affairs, starring real people, and reproducing the whole process is probably only him. It can be seen that all emotions are natural and sincere, and there is no "performance" from beginning to end, only "reproducing yourself".
The film is the director's favorite. As he always did, he blurred the concept of "original script" and presented Iran vividly. Their heartfelt tears and joyful forgiveness went beyond the profound meaning of the film itself. , Abbas liberates and redeems Xia Ji'an's withered and closed soul with a simple and unpretentious image. That warm encounter is the most perfect ending of the film. The lens is engraved with time, and the image is preserved and moved.

    The blurring of reality and fiction points to social problems through absurd stories. The end of "The Taste of Cherry" breaks the boundary of filming by zooming out the camera to the studio, while at the end of "Close-Up", the real and fake directors meet. After watching the two films in a row, you can feel Abbas' attitude towards the fate of the characters. . The intermittent soundtrack at the end brought me a kind of fascinated touch?
