let go

The film is very well done. The director puts us in the cramped interior space of the car, or zigzags back and forth on the loess wasteland, externalizing the characters' psychological space into the physical space. This sense of alienation and tension jumped out unexpectedly at the end. The actor who played the protagonist handed the director a cigarette, the soldiers played in groups resting beside the grave, and the loess plateau turned into a green field. Abbas understood depression. Depressed people can easily cry when they see the ending of this movie. He probably didn't shoot it for something as specific as depression, it's just that I see it in it.

    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 questions.

    If you can really understand it, you will definitely love it.

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
