China News Service, Sanya, December 7 (Reporter Wang Xiaobin) The Hainan Island International Film Festival is being held in Sanya. The famous Iranian director Asha Fahati attended the "Master Carnival" on the 6th to share his film creation experience.
Fahadi is an Iranian film director, screenwriter and producer. His films have won more than one Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Cannes Palme d’Or, Berlin Golden Bears and other awards, "Nader and Westminster: A Parting" (hereinafter referred to as ""A Parting"), "Salesman" "Won widespread praise from fans all over the world.
In the event of the day, Fahati proposed the concept of "subconscious bank" in film creation. He compares the human heart to a bank that constantly stores experiences, where everyone stores the information they have absorbed since childhood. He believes that the starting point for film creation is to "withdraw money" from this bank.
"There is a saying in Iran: words from the heart can reach the heart of the listener." Fahati said, "I attach great importance to the subconscious, that is to say, use my heart to write scripts."
Fahati believes, Everyone has a "subliminal bank", but if you want to "withdraw money" from it to create a movie, you need more skills. To this end, he shared some of his own "withdrawal" experience.
Fahati said that he had such a picture in his mind since he was young: in the afternoon, a man in a wet trench coat, looking at the sea. He asked himself, who is this man? Why are you drenched? Did he fall into the water? Why doesn't he change clothes?
After thinking about it, Fahadi found the answer: The man's wife fell into the water, but he could not save her. But in this story, his wife is the protagonist. As a result, there was the film "About Yili" that made Fahati the best director at the Berlin International Film Festival. A similar experience of
also occurred in the creation of Oscar's best foreign language film "A Farewell". Fahati said that because of his grandfather's experience, there was a picture in his mind: a man took his father to take a bath. Fahati asked himself: Why is this man bathing his father alone? What about other family members? Is he divorced?
The structure of divorce and sick father in "A Farewell", the "subconscious" from these "drawings" gradually became clear.
Fahati believes that the "subconscious" is only the starting point for the long journey of film creation. In the following process, creators need to use crisis as a stone and plunge into the reality that is as calm as water.
"Throw a small stone in the pool, and the waves it stirred up and down, the waves will reflect hundreds of different pictures. That stone is a crisis, placed in reality, and then reality will respond to us and give us Show a different situation and appearance." Fahati explained.
When talking about the creative theme of the movie, Fahati said that even children’s bedtime stories have multiple interpretations. In the movie, the audience will have different thematic associations according to their own personality and attitude. Therefore, Fahati advises film creators not to rush to a single theme to make a film, but to expand the theme and leave room for multiple interpretations.
As for the audience's interpretation, Fahati believes that creators do not need to give standard answers, and should leave the thinking process to the audience, "If I judge it, this is totally insulting the audience." (End)
