A creator leaves the country to make an overseas film. If it is all about the emotional story of the people of the country, it is better to make it, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed. But Farhadi showed his excellent talent in writing and directing through this film. The four main characters , one is an Iranian and the other is an Iranian immigrant. The heroine and daughter are both French. I don’t know how the French people see their emotions. As a Chinese audience, I can’t see the timidity.
Compared with "A Farewell" and "The Salesman", the depth of the work has been somewhat discounted, but Farhadi inadvertently demonstrated his ability to construct a plot, and the plot would turn around at any time during the progress of the plot, so that the boring film did not appear to be boring. So boring.
Excellent creators can't be like Chief Jia who can only play the simple way, and the masters of theatrical films who can show off their skills are the real masters. In this sense, Farhadi will soon be on par with Woody Allen.
Woody's films, in addition to a considerable proportion of chatter films, are also part of works that learn the rules of genre films, especially in recent years "The End of the Game", which surprised me the most, an old man in his 80s, without aging. sign. The existence of Woody and Yang Zhenning allows greasy middle-aged men to talk about pulp and bracelets calmly.
Finally, taking this film as an example, I would like to talk about a play experience. From the beginning, the film hints to the audience that the stepdaughter loves the stepfather, but has never confessed, making the audience think that the last two people will have an emotional explosion or that the stepfather will adopt the stepdaughter. But Farhadi didn't write it that way, which is brilliant. If the audience wants it, it is a movie; if the audience wants it, this is life.
