Gone with the wind

The soothing shots naturally record the words and deeds of the characters. Against the background of nature, plateaus, loess, wheat waves, and occasionally trees are reminiscent of the cave life in northwest China. The elderly sit in front of the room and chat at will; women take care of children and do housework; what about men? Out to work! It takes more than ten days for the child to go to school for the exam! Why do engineers come here? As if waiting for the death of some old woman. Answering the phone, driving up the mountain, driving up the mountain, answering the phone—his main behavior is this. And he was respected. What is he here for? In order to witness the funeral process of the people here? To witness the pilgrimage path? In order to complete the work assigned by others? Only he was anxious. But there was nothing he could do. In the end, he was relieved, life is not self-control, but is gone with the wind. The wind doesn't know when it starts or when it ends, the only thing we can do is to die with the wind!

    In such a barren land, I have the wind of the northwest, but I live in a different kind of "cave cave" and follow the simple etiquette. It is said that the earliest recorded wheat in human history was domesticated here. Abbas not only photographed stunning pastoral lyric poems, but also enjoyed the magic of wind and wheat waves between the unique customs and customs, and realized the true meaning of life and death. 7.5

    [2007-04-29], [2021-11-07 Rewatch] Rewatching the big screen, plus a better understanding of Abbas's concept, I still have some experience. For example, the male protagonist shaves his beard for the camera, which means that Binoche will apply lipstick to the camera in "Legal Copy" in the future. The falling apple and the falling football echo the "Take Me Home" in the future, and the dialogue with the well digger raises the question of Here comes the story of "Princess Shirin". The space of this film is chosen to be a must. The space scheduling of this small town built on the mountain is too rich. This film can be called the "repetition" method to the extreme. The play actually constructs a moral story (waiting for death/funeral to happen), and the way of hiding the plot is somewhat Hou Hsiao-hsien's usual technique.
