Lover under the olive tree - Abbas' masterpiece!
The original intention of buying this disc was to go for famous masterpieces, because my teacher told me that you may not understand many things very well, but you must understand them. But after watching this movie, I was surprised to find that not every master's work is difficult to understand. Maybe it has something to do with the nature of my work. When I watched the hero and heroine perform the same action over and over again, and said the same words, I laughed almost madly. This scene often occurs in my work.
The film uses a traditional linear structure to tell the story, which is not very clear on the surface, but in fact its causes, processes and results are told in a very orderly manner.
The use of large long shots and voiceovers is also a major feature of the film. Long shots can make the audience feel a real, continuous and colorful sound and picture recording. It narrates the story calmly and objectively. Right and wrong evaluation, leave it to the audience to complete. The voice-over creates two spaces for the picture and the sound, and the mirrors on the side of the car in the film are also well used. For example, when the director and the actor are driving home in the car, they encounter a group of migrating women on the road. They stop and let them get in the car. It reflects the scene where they are happy to get on the bus, which creates interest in the dullness.
The way the film ends is also very special. The boy does not give up chasing the girl he likes, through the large olive grove, the two become little white spots on the green field, and finally, the little white spots at the back catch up with the little white spots in front. , we don't know what they said, but after a while, the little white dot representing the boy ran back. The music starts and the movie ends. I think the boy must have got the girl's words, that's why he runs happily like this? Hehe~ Abbas once again made us smile.
