About "Close Up"

The deepest impression of Abbas before watching it is Godard's evaluation: the movie ends with Abbas. After reading this "Close-Up", which according to my friends is the most satisfactory to Abbas, I have to admire Godard's accuracy of generalization. Most of the so-called films that break fiction and reality have a hidden paradox: how can reality be designed? This makes most of the films that use this as a gimmick seem deliberate and boring. On the other hand, as far as my own viewing interests are concerned, going to the cinema to watch movies is precisely to escape reality, rather than hoping to experience reality again. But what impresses me about "Close-Up" is that after breaking the boundaries of reality and reality and transcending the shackles of film techniques, Abbas returned to the film itself. part of the healing. Movies that can hit people's hearts are made of absurdities as real as life. Abbas does the opposite, giving life a movie-like romance. This is not only Abbas' confession to the film, but also his appreciation of life Antidote given. The movie came to an abrupt end like the only time it appeared in the background music, and even so, until I typed these words after returning to my residence from the library, I could still hear the echo of the empty can at the beginning of the movie rolling down the slope.

    A very interesting subject for movie fans, if it were Hollywood, it would definitely make a suspenseful crime film full of suspense, but that would undoubtedly add his own position and criticism, so Abbas adopted a kind of documentary that is close to but not a documentary. Traveling between documentaries and feature films, and boldly provoking both, Abbas has since gone international. Godard exclaimed after seeing it: The movie starts with Graffis and ends with Abbas!
