1. There are often novels adapted into movies, but Aki's movies are reversed. Watching his movies, it is always easy to translate the pictures into words. He intentionally maintained the story, requiring actors to behave like props in order to keep a distance from the reality of life, and even intentionally made the film a myth full of miracles, condensing people's highest aspirations and spiritual ideals, perhaps, in his In the concept of , reality is inherently filthy, so it needs to be refined into something pure. When a French reporter asked him if he knew that Havre also means Heaven in French, he answered humorously: Heaven, a place everyone wants to go but can't, unless of course we die. In Le Havre (2011), there is a funny story: Marshall, a white man who claims to be the only person with albinism in a black family, refuses to give him the information, he will accuse him of racism, he taps his pocket, Threatened to have a recording. Such an obvious hoax caused unease among officials, and at the same time, the audience not only did not dismiss it as absurd, but also understood the possibility of such a plot.

2. The protagonist explains his career choices like this: There are better professions, but besides shepherds, it's closest to the people and the last to respect The Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount is: The poor Blessed are the people, because the kingdom of God is yours; Blessed are the hungry, because you will be satisfied; Blessed are the weeping, because you will rejoice; the world hates you, rejects you, and reproaches you for my sake Blessed are you when you reject your name as you reject evil, and then you should leap for joy, for your reward in heaven is great, and so were their fathers with the prophets. Therefore, it has to be pointed out that the male lead is the only person in the film with a surname, and like Karl Marx, he is called Marcel Marx.

3. In the modern age where "divineness" has been destroyed overwhelmingly, Aki has carried it forward. At a press conference in Cannes, Akey said that Hollywood has told us how bad the world is, so let me say something good.

4. André Wilms expressed his experience working with Aki Golismaji: Aki's performance has a humble style, he doesn't want you to show off, but his lines are very deep... He told me to act like an old gentleman , people in other people's movies are running around, but absolutely not in mine.
