Abbas shocked me again.

While watching the movie, I tried to come to two conclusions: I divided the world into two parts, the real and the spiritual; and most of us, like the law enforcement officer behind the close-up of Hussein and the one at the beginning of the movie taxi driver.

The first is...

Thinking of the final judgment in Camus' "The Outsider," how trusting and precious it is to sometimes hear "yes, I regret it, but I am not sorry."

Thinking of "Crime and Punishment", a small number of people bear the so-called "evil" in this world, so that the fate of the wider mankind can be...

The first Abbas work, half-documentary, half-drama, replete with courtroom close-ups and long dialogue, recounts the fraudulent affair of a film lover, Sabzion, and for the client himself that may be Just an inevitable accident. 1.

Teacher Dai Jinhua often compares film to a "parallelogram", with images, sound, time and space on the four corners. Since the development of film, "audio-visual language", as the most important and only way for film to present itself, has always been a lame-image as a visual medium has been highly...

This is an unbelievable divine film, and there are too many intertextualities and fables worth pondering. The male protagonist is an unemployed movie fan who pretends to be an Iranian director and goes to a wealthy family to fool others to make a movie. Abbas grasped this subject with the...

Sure enough, watching an Iranian movie for the first time was a little uncomfortable.

There is only BGM at the beginning and end of the whole process

It may have nothing to do with the language of the entire film, and the emotions behind the story are more moving. As I gradually lost the falsity in the film in the film, the imitation record, and the event restoration, I found that Abbas had already broken the boundary between the real and the...

"Close-up" is not quite clear why the film is called a close-up, and tells the crazy obsession and deception of an ordinary person who imagines himself as a film director. It's a little bit incomprehensible that this film is regarded as a classic documentary. At the beginning of the chapter, the...
