Respect life and enjoy nature

I watched the film "THE WIND WILL CARRY US" (THE WIND WILL CARRY US) written and directed by the Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami many times, and I finally got a general idea. To be honest, the process of watching is very sad. The film looks at a primitive village on the Loess Plateau in Iran from the eyes of an engineer from outside, with a sense of curiosity and voyeurism. The extremely simple image seems to be a pure record of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the engineer in the village. In fact, the film is full of symbols. The dung shell man pushed his food hard. After being kicked by the engineer, the tortoise could still turn around and move forward with difficulty. The dying old man finally let go without saving his life. The villagers working on the mountain survived the collapse but survived. In the end, natural death is the greatest respect for life, and any form of abnormal death is a denial of the existence of life. No matter how rough life is, it is a landscape of my beautiful life. Compared with heaven, milk is more beautiful. Everyone has their own views on the purpose and meaning of life, and we will never give a standard answer. Perhaps we will continue to revise our views along with our mood. But in any case, respecting life and enjoying the gifts of nature is the prerequisite to answer why you are alive, otherwise all thinking about life will be empty and lose the moral foundation.
The film reproduces the myth of Sisyphus and deliberately maintains the recording style. The shots are mostly mid- to long-range shooting. The audience stays out as pure spectators, making it easy to watch and think rationally.
The following is an excerpt from the golden sentence ----
1. When the engineer followed the little boy to school, he asked him: What a beautiful white village, why is it called Black Valley and not White Valley? The boy replied that his ancestor called it (the debate between black and white, beauty and ugliness, remembering Jia Pingwa's ugliness is the most beautiful)
2. The little boy told the engineer: There are two roads to the school. (You can only walk one way forever and miss the other, but different roads have different scenery)
3. The little boy said that my house is too small, and the engineer said that small things have its value. You are small but very smart! The little boy replied that I am growing up, and the house will not grow up. (Distinguish the size, make the best use of everything)
4. When you are destined to be black, even holy water can't turn you white (fatalistic taste, everyone comes to the world with original sin)
5. A person without love can't live. (Don't say this, Wei Wei's song was sung?)
6. The female stall owner told the engineer that the car window was open and helped him put the camera away, and told him that the car made of gold would not be lost here. (Although life is inconvenient but the folk customs are simple, it reminds me of the lines of the British drama Choqixiang to Zhuozhen: Poverty is not a curse but an inconvenience. I have been to closed and primitive villages during the tour to empathize with the problems common in developing countries. : The process of commercialization makes people savage)
7. Arguing about who is more tiring between men and women on the street between the children of the coffee stall and the old man sitting on the street is interesting and deep (the difference between male and female yin and yang, the dialogue is too interesting ^o ^)
8. The exam question mentioned by the little boy: What happened between God and the devil on Judgment Day?
The engineer said it was simple, God went to hell and the devil went to heaven, and then immediately corrected and said, no, God went to heaven and the devil went to hell! (Difference between good and evil)
9. The little boy tells the engineer: Whoever eats the food that the patient makes can realize a wish (the one who loves to return, karma)
10. The engineer asks the man who digs the hole, why don’t you Ask someone to help. Answer: It's better to work alone, and it won't be messy. (Three monks hit ≧∇≦)
11. If I knew my guardian angel, the glass would not be attacked by stones. (The digger is doing good for the village to improve the mobile phone signal. Love is his guardian angel. When the cave collapses, the stone supports him in a small space to win rescue time.)
12. Doctor: They say that another world is more beautiful, but Who has come back from that world to tell us whether it is beautiful or not. I like to live and ride a motorcycle to see this beautiful world. (Materialistically speaking, being born like a white horse passing a gap, living is beautiful, cherish it)
13. There will be no water to drink even at sea.
There are many meanings in the film, and it is all about educating the world through the role. The protagonist may represent us in reality. The little boy in the film repeatedly said that he had to take an exam, and finally the little boy said that I knew the answer.
In life, we often have to face various exams in life. What kind of answers will we give?

    Overall, it's still a work of melancholy optimism. The cramped villages on the vast plains, the crowded people, the turtle who desperately turned over, the dung beetle who fell into the pit with the dung ball, all worked hard, the dying old man, the well digger who never showed his face, and the There are poems recited from time to time, all of which explain the beauty of this world and the illusion of the next life, and the fear of death. I think this is a religious country

    Don't speak, let the wind speak, let a tree speak, let a road to infinity speak, let the child's eyes speak. Kiarostami, who was in elementary school, hadn't spoken to anyone. He draws pictures with eyes, and only children’s eyes are a gift from God. Human work may still leave some traces in a short period of time, but the human voice and the sorrow and joy of life and death in it may be just an inexplicable wind, a cloud that has just stopped. Some people compare the large and small roads that appear in this movie and even Abbas’s movie to Abbas’s movie itself, his shots, and real life equal or even lower shots—that's what a child usually does. Only by the perspective can we see the things that most people don't want to see or can't see.
