Taste of Cherry Comments

    Movies come from the simplest, most nuanced moments, which Abbas magnifies with minimalism. He wrote a poem without explaining it, told a story and told you it was just a movie, all you do is imagine, guess. Tarkovsky said that "a thousand people read the same book, it is a thousand different books", why did he commit suicide? Is it a debt problem? What exactly does a cherry taste like? Maybe Abbas doesn't know either, but your answer is the answer to these...

    Godly movie. The picture and mirror movement are so smooth and natural. The narration is not redundant at all, conveys the simple meaning of life, and has touching poetry. Coming out of the movie theater and feeling like seeing it on the big screen is such a blessing, such a...

    ⒈Compared with the three major international film festivals in Europe, Oscar is still more popular; ⒉It seems that we are quite expensive to buy cherries, but unfortunately the taste does not make me very fond; Burial? ⒋Speaking of: 2015's "Taxi" and "Life and Flow" are somewhat similar in shooting techniques; and "Roadside Picnic" and "The Lover under the Olive Tree" have similar road driving shots;...

    I've tasted cherries, as a symbol of hope, it's not sacred, it's the little everyday things caught in the dirt, and it's the same thing that brings you despair. It's not negative, in the movie you're just driving around the same stretch of road, there are several different people in the passenger seat, and no one can really understand one person. This form is our life, going round and round in the repetitive routine, always alone, and constantly heading for the end of...

    Just like the curvy highway, Abbas appeared as the creator to manipulate this suicide story with no reason and an unknown ending and loop it, feeling death and life in the dark scenes of the movie, and all decisions depend on oneself, the meaning of life. 2016 Archives Memorial Abbas Retrospective. 2021.10.31 Archives 4K restored version, Kurds, Afghanistan and Turkey can also feel the director's metaphor for Iran's religious, political and historical destiny, and more importantly, every time...

    About the right to choose life, the possibility of living. Life is not imposed on us. There are too many existential dialogues in the film, and I cannot digest it for the time being because of my shallow life experience and weak perception of life and death. Anthony Minghella once said: "If Samuel Beckett made a movie, it should look like Kiarostami's work." Abbas responded: "Perhaps, Beckett did make a Bass movie. "The Movie" starring Te...

    Ten years later, when I looked at the archive again, I actually cried. The theme of this film is so grand and full of love for life. The starry sky is splendid, the sunset is gorgeous, the spring water is clear, the cherries are sweet, and even the faint sound of thunder and the sound of the rain are all reminiscent of life. What reason is there to die? I think the richer the heart, the less likely it is to seek death, because there are so many interesting and beautiful things to be nostalgic,...

    like very much! What I focus on is not why people despair, but how people face...

    To be honest, as I am spoiled by commercial films, I always have an instinctive sense of vigilance and repulsion towards those films that "look at how artistic I am an artist and my images", such as "Peace of the Twig". Or a long shot of the old tower that is taken away from life. But I have never had any rejection of Abbas, his camera gaze is so soulful, so warm, his artistic expression is perfectly hidden behind the realist image, hidden in the simple story and the same among simple...

    Why didn't I kill myself

    I happened to come across this movie - "The Taste of Cherries". At that time, I had a very stressful job. Basically every weekend, I needed to spend tens of yuan to go to the star-rated cinema to watch the latest movies, so as to let my spirits rise. Paralyzed in the dark shadows, when the curtain...

Taste of Cherry quotes

  • Mr. Bagheri: Some things are easier to do than to say.

  • Mr. Badii: I've decided to free myself from this life.

    The seminarian: What for?

    Mr. Badii: It wouldn't help you to know and I can't talk about it and you wouldn't understand. It's not because you don't understand but you can't feel what I feel. You can sympathize, understand, show compassion. But feel my pain? No. You suffer and so do I. I understand you. You comprehend my pain, but you can't feel it
