Well, it's another movie that I'm about to sleep with. I think, why do I always find such a movie to watch recently.

It's another story about a man who wanted to die and didn't die, but at the end of the movie, I don't know if the man died, maybe he didn't, because he went back to the old man and said that he was going to wake him up tomorrow. It's the same as "A Man Named XX Decided to Die" last time, except that one is from France and the other is from Iran.

If I want to die, why do I have to go to great lengths to die in this way? It's better to just take sleeping pills at home, and I have to find someone to bury myself in the mountain. Isn't that just because I don't want to die, anyone who wants to die can do anything? It's dead, this story tells a long time!

I wouldn't do it if I was asked by someone like this, but for the sake of money, I wouldn't have to endure it! (Haha just kidding, it doesn't really make sense to say such a thing now, because only the choice made at that time when it really happened is the real one's own choice.)

In fact, what the film wants to talk about is that life is actually beautiful. After the old man ate the delicious cherries before he died, he felt that life was actually beautiful and didn't want to die. Maybe the idea of ​​suicide is just falling into a pit without sunlight. When you come out of this dark pit and see the sun, you will feel that life is beautiful again!

But a fact is: In fact, everyone is moving towards death. Whether you want to die sooner or later, it is actually just a matter of the length of time. No matter how much people struggle and toss in this process, time passes little by little. Yes, there is nothing that can’t be passed, nothing that won’t come, what can’t be let go, and what’s let go, in fact, it will be far away from you. This is the truth of the world: death.

    When the movie is only used as a tool to tell the truth, it loses its taste~~

    Three brushes and five stars. Open valve mark, four stars for the second time in 191019, ten years. Abbas-style gripping, I have watched two films in which the protagonist wants to commit suicide in a short period of time, hahaha. The film designed winding mountain roads related to life and death, passers-by of all ages, dirt dumped by trucks, rain at the end, trees by the suicide hole and lonely trees in the mountains, airplanes, birds, taxidermy, and soldiers. A young child and a stable old man, the whole piece looks natural and smooth, but in fact it often "interrupts advertisements", quite experimental and alternative films, undercurrents are surging, but also make people miss and think. In the short comment, some people said that the dialogue is very preaching, so the movie has to say "Have you eaten" and "I love you" to not preach, hehe.
