Pretending to be a director is meant to be a show...

"Because of my love for art and film".

"I think what the director is shooting is my life story, and my pain has been seen. The rich cannot understand and see the pain and wishes of the poor, but the director can make it visible to everyone...

"I have received unprecedented respect and deference from them...

"I didn't lie, I brought the filming team into your house in the end, and you all ended up in the filming of this film." …

The best thing about this show is that after the meeting between the real and the fake directors in the final scene, Abbas deliberately blurred the recording of the dialogue with each other, leaving us as the audience the greatest space for creation and imagination. The real director knows that there is a recording device, but the fake director doesn't know.... And between knowing and not knowing, how should we as the audience "direct" the content of the dialogue after they meet? Who is playing? Who needs to act? Does a real director need to act...? But what is certain is that the fake director does not need to act, he must be acting in real...

A good movie should be a person who starts from the source and lives with the essence...and this fake director not only has it, but also brings his love. This is a movie about the power of love. Although it has a round-trip between reality and fantasy...

"Pretending to be a director is a show in itself."

"Once there is a grudge, art wears a veil".

    #BIFF# The restoration version supervised by Abbas himself in September 2015, the restoration quality is very good. "Why Perform" docudrama. In the last scene, the liar who was filmed by the director to play the director was released from prison to meet the real director, and the mic was picked up intermittently, bringing out another theme related to "acting": truth.

    Amplify the lie and see the truth behind it. Zoom in on the accusation to see the trust behind it. Apologize for zooming in and look at the expectations behind it. Behind this close-up is tenderness, a flower, a tear, and a smile of cruel life. I really like Abbas, redefine film, tell me how the art of life and the language of film can be combined, and all of this is inseparable from kindness and love.
