some messy thoughts

Even in sacred church ceremonies, there are staff who don't follow the rules. The priest took off his hat in exasperation and entered through the side door. After that, like everyone waiting outside the door, we could hear what was happening inside by the sound. But everyone was expressionless. Then the priest opened the door and tilted his head to signal everyone to go in. That action doesn't look like a priest anymore.

The male protagonist is very sensitive to violence and danger. It is most obvious in the scene of the plane. Shows unease, but doesn't run away. Maybe this is Palestinian nationality?

When getting off the plane, the male protagonist slammed the door and knocked the captain who was saying "Welcome to Paris" to the ground. At the same time, the door blocked the view of the audience, so that people could not see the captain's condition. Seeing this scene can not help but smile.

If everyone is naturally open and armed with weapons, perhaps the world will be very peaceful instead.

In the movie, the male protagonist watches the world like a god. With his hands behind his back, he kept silent, observing the world as he walked.

The sound of a siren just within earshot can make one involuntarily nervous. That's its "meaning".

When I saw the last tall man dancing the folk dance with his eyes closed, his heart was filled with emotion. It seems to taste his moment: sour, yearning, intoxicated...

"I want to tell you something. You Palestinians are weird. People all over the world drink to forget. Only you people drink to remember."

There are two scenes I don't understand. The woman carries the water and waters it with the neighbors.

There is only a feeling of emptiness after reading it. No matter where you go, even if you change countries, there are still misfortunes, unfriendliness, and violence.

    #2019EUFILM# 86/100, a complete surprise! It is a comedy movie similar to the style of Wes Anderson + Jacques Tati. A large number of fixed shots are used to present the space under the regular composition. The action lag is caused by the extremely uniform line of sight. of humor. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. However, there is a political meaning similar to "Synonyms" hidden under the surface of the cold humor. All visual symbols that can be dismantled will only generate meaning after the interpretation, which will not be offensive at all. // Laughing with the whole audience in the theater is simply satisfying.

    Relaxed + happy, but inside is painful and affectionate. Express like those laid-back little European comics. It's like the work of Xiaomin's second child has become a movie.

I will start by asking you to share with us your experience as a filmmaker and to speak about the ways of being and feeling that have or have not permitted you to achieve... the conditions of becoming what we call a citizen of the world. Is you sense, your identity... of place a thing of the past? Has your nomadic existence extinguished your love of one place? And extended it to a love of all places? In other words are you a perfect stranger?
