Watch "Gone With the Wind"

Watch the movie and write about your feelings. Simple, repetitive... Ceylon may have picked up Abbas' apple. Cinema does not only belong to Europe and Hollywood, Iranian master Abbas is a spirit and attitude. It seems that nothing happened, the village is still the village, the wheat field is still the wheat field. The sun that never seems to end. Although the national culture and space are different, the process of watching the film always reminds me of the countryside of my childhood: yellow earth, cows, sheep, chickens, as well as stumped homework, golden wheat fields and golden sunshine. Maybe Abbas' "Gone With the Wind", like "Mama and Seven Days", just shows a state of life, an attitude towards life. In a 52-second short tribute to the Lumière brothers, Abbas shows how an egg is scrambled, accompanied by fruitless phone calls. A film like a documentary, real and vivid. It seems that Hou Hsiao-hsien's films always have such a windy time. I always don't know what a movie is, just like every author has a different attitude towards life. Chaplin, Laota, Godard, Jia Zhangke... are all different. Li Bai and Lu Xun are also different. Will I be gentle? There is still a bit of a happy edge. I don't know if time sculpts us or are we sculpting time?

    #siff2017# The countryside of Abbas is still picturesque and poetic, with row upon row of country houses, wheat waves swaying in the wind, and the pursuit of light and shadow. The repeated pictures seem to correspond to the bland and trivial daily life, and the death that is repeatedly delayed but caught off guard in daily life is like a little wave in still water, which is probably life.

    3. For the first Abbas, there is no overall concept for the time being (can't write a general short comment), so let's talk about a few points of interest: 1. The color and composition itself have an unquestionable level (partly due to The Iranian plateau itself has a special geographical environment and features), and the vague narrative is just like the linear cycle of daily life, which is experimentally repeated and meaningless. 2. The question about the camera of interest is actually about experience and voyeurism Contradiction, on the one hand, is the lens presented to the audience, and on the other hand, is the lens of the protagonist in the painting; the allowed attention is based on understanding the flow and impermanence of death and life. The camera does not pay attention to death, but undoubtedly has a breakthrough system discipline. The power of negation 3. The possibility that fragments of life can be imaged and become public art, somewhat like one second in everyday life
