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?
