I want to see the world through the eyes of Abbas

The first thing that attracted me to this movie was the cover poster. I was wandering around the disc store in Guilin Book City, and I caught a glimpse of it and bought it without hesitation. Between the withered and yellow crops, there is a long country road, rolling, full of rhythm and beautiful lines, and the back of a pair of motorcycles is meaningful. The name of the movie is also worth pondering, and it is very poetic. The wind will carry us, there are many synonyms for carry, not take here, not bring, in English the word carry means "carry, support, support", so people feel a kind of silent human warmth and the thickness of life . The Chinese translation of "Gone With the Wind" reminded me of the light feather in Forrest Gump. I thought at the time, is this also a film closely related to life and destiny? It turns out that it is.

Wild countryside, no asphalt roads, not even a few trees. Dust runs after the vehicle, so loyal, just like the innocent eyes and dialogue of a little boy.

Abbas, through the lens, allows us to observe nature, which is to inspire us to make the most of life. We are usually not missing something, but missing something to discover.

Abbas' films are dull and unintelligible to most people. Just like the British patients to many moviegoers, many of them love literary films. Abbas is a film poet. His films are rich in imagery, and he needs to dig deep into the experience and have a lot of thought and life experience, including emotional experience, social observation, human nature thinking and so on. The language of the characters in Abbas's shots is often poetic, which may be related to Abbas's personal temperament and preferences. He is an Iranian poet himself. His poems are short and realistic. His words are not gorgeous, but full of imagination. Full of tension.
Here are a few poetic lines to memorize while watching:

When you are meant to be black, not even holy water can turn you white.
A person cannot live without love. (Disagree, but worth thinking about)
- What happened between God and the devil on Judgment Day?
- Very simple, God went to hell, the devil went to heaven.
Behind the window, the night was shaking. (This sentence is very poetic)
If I knew my guardian angel, the glass would not be attacked by the stone.
They say that the other world is more beautiful, but someone comes back from that world and tells us whether it is beautiful or not. . .

    Four brushes. 1. From the plot of "Ask for Way" repeated in the rural trilogy and the "search, loss and creation" pointed by the film, to "Taste of Cherry", which is unwilling to be born in this world, to "Gone with the Wind" to dig out the thigh bones In the daily poetry, Abbas expresses the protagonist’s attitude and pursuit of life and life by presenting certain specific behaviors in the film over and over again, extracting the most beautiful and touching feelings from the trivial and trivial. 2. A life without poetry, probably only endless repetition and nothingness. Our reproductive, working, and laboring cycles are just like the dung-ball pushing and clumsy turtle. 3. The long-distance dialogue ignores the sound distance; the characters in the cuts have no facial treatment; the use of the long lens is more smooth and natural than the previous work, and it flows in a soothing flow that is close to the normal state of life. 4. My night is simple and clear, Feng'er meets Ye. My night is full of pain. Listen, do you hear the shadow whispering. 5. "Death is the most terrible thing." After Abbas, there is no director who can bring me such a touch. |A person cannot survive without love (9.5/10)

    Most of the comments focused on the beauty of Abbas’ images, but it seemed that the story was not understood correctly. The story is about (should) a TV reporter covering the funeral ceremony of the ignorant feudal village in the village. The reporter and his friends live in the village and wait for their report material, that is, the death of an old man in the village. But day by day, the old man's condition gradually improved, but his friends and leaders urged him to go back and give up the report. In the middle of the journey, the reporter encountered a villager who was buried alive. He drove around to tell, and finally managed to rescue him. In the early hours of the next morning, when the reporter drove away from the village, he found that the old man had passed away. The villagers walked towards the old man in black clothes. The reporter just took a few photos and left. This actually means that when a person is really facing death, he realizes the heavy cruelty of death, and also understands his ignorance and selfishness in hopes that the old man will die soon and become his own report material. The wind blowing wheat waves, the most beautiful part, is also the only experience he has left his driving seat. The words of the doctor (philosopher) inspired him. After he left the village, he threw the bones found in the cemetery into the river.
