Three feelings:
one is the scene where the protagonist's wheel is empty and the workers spontaneously come to help, which makes people teary-eyed;
the other is Abbas Kiarostami's cherishing of the camera. The innocuous people are more just voices, except that the security guard finally gave a scene and the woman who bought the ticket;
the third is the controversy in the last part, which can be simply understood as a tidbit, and it can be considered that the director was teased nonsensically. , can also be used as a part of the play, telling people that even insignificant people are still living full of vitality.

Finally, for the subject of the film. In a word: Give yourself a chance to face death and see if God will do it.

    "Survivor" is about driving down the road in search of earthquake survivors. The Taste of Cherry is a man who drives down the road seeking to bury himself. It is as simple as only one person, one car and one mountain road. They have no answer in the end, whether to live or die.

    I don't think I've ever really tasted the taste of cherries. The ultimate in Abbas's philosophical films, driving to and fro on the road of life and death, may be enlightened or confused. The flavor of the plot is still very light, and it is all driven by dialogue. Those empty mirrors, which have been photographed steadily, imply some kind of true meaning of life. The ending suddenly takes on an experimental nature, creating a connection between light and shadow and reality. Take a closer look at this beautiful world, and there will be a lot of nostalgia in my heart.

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
