    Most moving movie of the last few years

    This is the most moving movie I've seen in years. Determined to read all of Abbas's works.

    I have only seen two of Abbas's later works - "Legal Copy" and "Like a River of Love". Neither is an Iranian story, and neither is "Where Is My Friend's Home" as shocking. While watching the film, I imagined...

    Rule Breakers and Silent Expressers

    Abbas is memorable, and his work is worth seeing again, after all, he enjoys such a high international reputation.   In the screening list in September 2016, Xiaoxitian Art Cinema arranged a memorial exhibition for Abbas. I didn't know him well. I bought a ticket to watch "Where Is My Friend's...

    where is my friend's house

    8.5 points. very small story. The process of searching for the corresponding topic is also found in other Abbas films. The protagonist is running on the road and will unconsciously contact the lover under the olive tree in the chase through the woods. It was a long road, but Ahmed kept running...

    Charming "MacGuffin"

    1. The mother didn't listen to the little boy Amud's story at all, but just thought that the child just wanted to play without doing his homework. And Ahmed has been persistently repeating that one of the characteristics that distinguishes children from adults is repetition, and explains why he...

    Ahmed's Workbook Return RPG

    The whole film is like the RPG game of the protagonist Ahmed. First of all, you must escape from home and face the endless orders of the mother, the devil, how to embark on the journey. After successfully escaping from home, I went to Muhammad's village to look for him. There were many distractions...

    live in my heart

    In fact, before watching this movie, I always felt that adults were indifferent and selfish in front of children , mercenary but self-righteous educating children, so children subtly became such adults. After watching the movie, this feeling is stronger, children have their own thinking and...

    Simplicity reflects human nature

    This is a relatively classic movie of Abbas. On the surface, it is just a story of a child who sends homework to his classmates, but is blocked by parents and others. However, comparing Abbas's biography, you will find that he actually epitomizes his childhood. into that child's life. Iranians have...

    The movie ends with Abbas.

    After watching "The Taste of Cherries", I have no feeling, but after watching "Where Is My Friend's Home", I can't help but shout that the movie ends with Abbas! So I have the same taste as Godard hehe. When I first started watching it, I still felt very uncomfortable with "regardless of whether it...

    Bundled Education - "Where Is My Friend's Home"

    This film allowed me to see the relationship between the three generations of "old, middle-aged, and children" in Iran and its implications for Iranian society. Children are educated in primary schools, obeying the teacher's instructions, and "doing homework" becomes the primary task of the...

    where is our home

    This is the first Abbas work I have ever seen.    The first Iranian director I came into contact with was Majid Majidi. Then, after reading the overwhelming comments about Abbas, I went back and watched his film.    Abbas' films are for seasoned moviegoers. Because the first-time moviegoers choose...
