Abbas complex. He just simply wanted to love her.

In the past few days, on a whim, I pulled out "The Lover Under the Olive Tree" and read it again. It's been a long time since I found such a clean movie aftertaste. Thinking back to Abbas and his works, since I came into contact with them, I have always had a feeling of simplicity.

The 1994 film, the content will never be out of date. Men, women, love, marriage, social conditions. Elements that are repeated all the time. Abbas took off several layers of clothes, and finally showed us the most primitive and simple one. As Hussein keeps repeating, "I just want to give you simple happiness." Nothing else. The days always have to go on with two people holding hands. He just simply wanted to love her. The adult's initial state of fidelity to emotion and persistent pursuit. He did not shrink back because of his social status and the cynicism of others. And this kind of fearlessness in love would now be considered cheeky and over-the-top. Society gives us a sense of hierarchy. Even if it has nothing to do with family status now, it is replaced by hardware such as household registration, real estate and cars.

As he has always expected, Abbas has always brought me the simplest feelings of happiness.

Through the Olive Trees quotes

  • Hossein: Mam, I'm really sorry. I want to do everything you ask me, but I won't do masonry. I don't work in construction anymore. I came to act in your film. I will work as an actor, but not as a mason.
