This film is a rare love film by Abbas, but it has almost nothing in common with other love films, because it does not look like a romance film at all, it does not talk about love or divide the relationship. And, we don’t even know whether the heroine finally agreed to the young man’s proposal. The young man flew back. Whether it was because of joy or sorrow, everyone probably had their own interpretation.
The film is one of Abbas's sweetest, simple, and humorous films. At the same time, it does not lose the content level and multiple attitudes to the film form. It can be called a film in a film, a film of deep human nature. The long shot at the end of the film is said to have changed the history of film and reached the culmination of a great art film.
The film is the most mature work of Abbas in the early days. The structure of the play is well integrated, and the last long shot of several minutes is a classic among the classics, with a long charm.
The film has a complicated layered structure, and Abbas deliberately blurs the line between reality and fiction. In such a "play in play", the audience has been deeply confused in Abbas's lens, unable to distinguish whether each scene they see is the plot of the film shot in the film or the real love that happened. What impressed movie fans the most was the 4-minute long-distance long shot at the end. Abbas used an ambiguous and poetic way to confess the fate of the protagonist, leaving endless meaning and suspense.
