This one is adapted from news and current affairs and starred by real people, so all emotions are natural and sincere. There is no "performance" from beginning to end, only "reproducing yourself". The concept of "original script" is blurred and Iran is vividly presented. Their heartfelt tears and joyful forgiveness are far beyond the profound meaning of the film itself. Abbas used unpretentious images to wither and seal Xia Ji'an. Soul liberation and...

This method of blurring the boundary between reality and fiction and reproducing scenes is also used in many legal news...

The blurring of reality and fiction points to social problems through absurd stories. The end of "The Taste of Cherry" breaks the boundary of filming by zooming out the camera to the studio, while at the end of "Close-Up", the real and fake directors meet. After watching the two films in a row, you can feel Abbas' attitude towards the fate of the characters. . The intermittent soundtrack at the end brought me a kind of fascinated...

He clearly stated that a poor boy pretended to be a director and cheated. In fact, it reflected the suffering of some Iranian people at that time, and exposed the elite's rush for the upper class, and the double standard of "judging people by appearance" to the toiling public. The director is just an identity, not rich or poor, but in life, where can the poor who really care about art get a chance to "close-up"? ! His fault is not in pretending to cheat, but in - he is poor. It is worth...

Rewatch three years later. It turned out to be such a complex and light work. Abbas jumped between the formal chasm of documentary and feature film, and tried to blur the boundaries of each other several times, and the way he deconstructed the deep logic of this distinction was so simple - he just liberated the line of sight (the interior space of the car) Dissolving/de-objectifying), and properly pulling the line of sight (appearance of the jar/appearance of the subject and alternation...

9/10. Fake documentaries. Play the director and make life a movie. When I heard him describe all kinds of movies, my tears kept flowing. This is the deepest love for movies! At the end of the moving BGM and the bouquet of bright flowers, I saw hope of living. I want to change the title to...

The embarrassment of people and the squeeze of reality, Abbas continued the story concept in the passerby. At the end of the trial, the theme of the entire film has been bluntly stated, and the film is a gesture of "intervention" in the real society. Alternatively, this can also be seen as a film about cinema. Abbas conveyed his thoughts on cinema as an art form, namely intervention, critical observation and thinking about society and individuals, and humanistic concern for the state of human...

2013/09/20 I was also touched when I saw Sabzian crying at the door with flowers at the end. I miss that simple era, mistakes can be forgiven, because people still believe in beauty. A very special story, a very special movie; it is not so much that it is difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, it is better to say that reality and reality are the same, each of us is playing a drama. 2020/12/31
