Sometimes you pour tea, sometimes I pour water

The first Abbas, only then did I know the origin of "The Case of Qiu Ju" and "No One Can Be Missed". Simple and clean film language, great sorrow and joy are scattered in the olive grove, the clouds are light and the wind is light. Feelings are stubbornness and persistence after 50 years of being together ... ding ding... bang bang, Hussein carried a water bottle across the fields to chase the girl he liked, those well-matched traps, the hustle and bustle of the highway, all lost their color, and the whole world was quiet.
It was the first time I heard the words Hussein said in the car, and I heard that with both feet on the ground, steadfast, daring to look around, daring to move forward: "It is best that a scholar marry an illiterate, a rich man. People marry poor people, people who have no homes, marry landlords, so that everyone can help each other, I think it is better, if two people get married, and when they die, they have two rooms, then they can't have their heads in one and their feet in the other. Time.” (The dewdrop that wrote Abbas’s film language is so good, all his favorite lines are there) It has nothing to do with the four words of communism, and before these four words appeared, human beings were already living.
Sometimes you pour tea, sometimes I pour water. This is probably life.
