The first part of Abbas's "Village Trilogy"-"Where is My Friend's Home", is a realist work that uses "recognized fiction" techniques to create a real look and feel for us.
In the second part of the village trilogy-"Life and Growth", the characters in the first part were reunited during the earthquake, which undoubtedly increased the sense of reality, especially because it was a disaster theme.
However, Abbas used a short plot of "Life and Growth" as the material to produce the final piece of the "Village Trilogy"-"Lover under the Olive Tree", but broke this reality.
In "Life and Growth", the young Hussein and his newlywed wife are the victims of two disasters. The earthquake caused them to lose a lot, and they decided to get married.
When watching "Lover under the Olive Tree", we found that Hussein and Taheri were two actors. They had known each other before filming. Hussein chased Taheri but did not have a good chance to contact. The shooting gave him hope.
At this time, we discovered that the "reality itself" in the second work we had previously accepted was just a fictional film fragment. In this way, Abbas destroyed the first two works of the "Village Trilogy". Authenticity.
This is Abbas’s brilliance. His film blurs the boundary between fiction and reality, giving people a documentary-like real-viewing and imaginary fictional mixed experience of two scenes, which is very strange. .
As netizens commented: Abbas's hometown trilogy is simply a miracle of the movie! 1 reaches the reality with the fiction of realism, 2 borrows the characters of 1 to reshape the reality of 1, and 3 completely destroys the reality of 2, so the authenticity of the trilogy collapses.
Therefore, it is recommended to watch Abbas’s "Village Trilogy" again. It is best to watch in order.
Today, after the second part, I will talk about the third part-"The Lover under the Olive Tree"
. It is about the crew who made the film "Endless" and encountered a problem during the filming. In every filming of
, actor Hussein and actress Taheri are always unable to act together.
It turned out that the young Hussein had already fallen in love with Taheri at first sight.
He seized every opportunity to confess like Taheri, but was rejected by her grandmother, and Taheri was silent except for a glance at him in the cemetery.
And he hasn't seen her for a long time, this shooting is the best opportunity for him.
So, in the first scene in their filming, Taheri learned that Hussein was the actor, she might be shy and could not respond to his greetings. After
, because she could not call him "Mr. Hussein", the director repeatedly called him NG.
Because they acted as newlyweds in the play, and "Mr." is the name of the husband in the local customs. In fact, in reality, she did not agree to his confession, so even in the play, she was stubborn. , And didn't want to shout. What's interesting about
is that Hussein also deliberately made the wrong line, so he was stopped by the director, and used the filming time to talk to her.
Hussein kept telling Taheri his thoughts, his love for her, his merits, and his imagined future:
I only want one thing, to make you happy, I want you to be happy. We can't just consider the house and wealth, understanding and intelligence are also very important. And you and I will, like everyone else, have a lot, and I can give you a future.
No matter what he said, she remained unmoved, read the book without saying a word, never even looked up at him, and did not give him an answer. The unilateral efforts of
have never responded, which made us feel good about the persistent and brave Hussein. Of course, it also stimulated our curiosity. We look forward to their love fate.
This is where Abbas is special.
repeatedly presents the NG scenes that other directors will not show, revealing the hidden emotions of the characters in the idle time.
uses these emotions to promote the development of the plot of the story, thereby constructing a new reality. At the end of the
film, filming was over, Taheri took the flowers her family had brought, and walked forward alone.
Afterwards, Hussein took his belongings and followed.
They walked through an olive grove, walked through the familiarOn the Z-shaped hillside, he still kept telling his thoughts.
The wind swept across the grass and olive trees, Taheri did not look back, did not stop, just walked forward.
until, they became the two "white dots" one behind the other in the picture, after which the latter caught up with the previous one and surpassed the past;
then, the two "white dots" moved and paused briefly ( I don’t know what’s said and what happened)...
Finally, one white dot continued to move forward, the other white dot turned around and turned back, the music became more joyful, and whether the girl agreed and what the future will be, we don’t know ...... The vision of
is the same as the last long shot of "Life and Growth", beautiful, joyful and poetic.
especially likes the evaluation of a netizen: the last shot poeticizes the earth.
Through the "Village Trilogy", we see Abbas behind the camera. He is a philosopher who thinks about life, an elder who cares about people, and a poetic master. There is a scene in the film
: As an illiterate Hussein, he wants to marry a literate Tahli. He has his own ideas and he cannot accept that his children are taught by uneducated mothers.
He said this to the director: If the landlord marries the landlord, the rich marry the rich, and the illiterate marry the illiterate, it's over. We should help each other, the landlord marries the illiterate, the rich marry the poor... The concept of
looks funny, but after listening to Abbas (the director represents Abbas), he did not deny it, just smiled slowly and took Out of the cigarette, I started smoking.
and this is a microcosm of Abbas's attitude towards life.
Through the lens, we can feel that Abbas is full of tolerance and care for the people around him. He knows their suffering, but appreciates their innocence.
