Not a movie review

It’s a blessing to be able to wake up at four o’clock every day in this hot and cold season. You can make a cup of coffee and hide on the platform to watch a two-hour movie. By the way, you can also watch the sunrise that is imperfectly blocked by buildings. After watching "About Yili" at exactly 6:15, the birds called, the breeze, a little light from the east reflected on the opposite glass, the pale pink with a purple halo, just like Yili was placed before she disappeared by the sea. The kite hesitated for a while, and it was fleeting.

Fahati’s film is almost finished, except for the 2006 "Fireworks Wednesday", which currently loves Yili more than "A Farewell"...

At the beginning of life, several couples of men and women took their children on a seemingly ordinary vacation, with complicated dialogues and non-stop interspersed shots. The daily group dramas casually explained the relationship between the characters, and some subtle plots were intermittent. The contradiction focus of Duan is foreshadowing, foretelling that the child will drown, implying Yili's hidden anxiety, the tacit and selfish revelation of everyone's heart. As the center of the story, Yili disappeared miraculously in the third of the film. Is it dead or alive, escape or voluntary? Next is the search of the people, the separation of group relations, everyone enters an independent emotional point, a difference in attitude... The discovery of Yili's true background, and then the excuse of responsibility, implying the argumentation of moral indicators. Regarding the cause of Yili’s death, I think I’ve explained it very clearly. It’s simply saving the child. How could a woman who put on hand cream and then went to fly a kite with her child suddenly chose to commit suicide? Escape from reality to die is worse than death. At this moment, she chose Yili. Under the social background of Iran, Yili’s current situation and her choice are enough to make her unable to escape the shadow of death. She may live if she is bound by morals, ethics and religion. Down is also a life entangled with pain...

When Yili was flying a kite, she was as happy as a child. Running and laughing, the color flying in the sky may be the freedom she yearns for. Her last line is "I'm leaving now"... Death happens to meet her. Up her.

When Yili and Amed were chatting in the car, and asked about the reason for Amed’s divorce, Amed said: "The painful ending is better than the pain without ending." After listening, Yili's smile slowly disappeared and her face changed. Looking forward with an expression... the finishing touch.

    I really admire this writer.

    No matter how natural and powerful male power is in the film, the bits and pieces about love or the gentleness of infiltrating women run through this somewhat helpless and sad story.
