In 1990, a major earthquake struck north-west Iran《Where's my friend's house》the location of the film was in this area, where the director drove his son to look for actors in the film. instead of the perceived sadism of a villager who was reached by his father and his son along the road for the rest of his life, he was actively involved in post-earthquake reconstruction efforts and valued life even more. in particular, the young couple who married on the second day after the earthquake felt more alive than the villagers who had experienced it. finally, they did not see the actors who played the two small masters, but some said they had just been seen. The audience should remember《Where's my friend's house》The sweet actor boy, who was in his place of residence in 1990, had almost destroyed everything. The fate of the actor remains unknown, and Abbas returned to his home after the earthquake in a car in search of his children. On the way, the director saw a lot of shocking images, ruins、Sad people、Death……the director was surprised, however, that people were not indulging in grief, but rather rebuilding their homes after the disaster. death increases the value of life for the living, lives with more courage, hopes are not lost, and there is a more climax in the film, a marriage between men and women after an earthquake. in the end, the little actor didn't find it, putting a light, sad light on the tone of the positive action. behind-the-scenes production: the film recorded the news of the journey to the disaster area and received the Rossilini Humanitarian Spirit Award for the 1992 Cannes International Film Festival、Gold Camera Award. It is interesting to see this film, where there is a feeling of a dream, where the sense of life is stripped from the footprints of the search, as if it had been a long trip with Abbas, with time slowly passing in peace with the landscape. The comment made by Japanese director Hezawaming, who once described Abbas's work as “unmatched” is far too undefined, but from this film, Abbas's face and the hearts of the pitiful are indeed enough for the master's seal, and his thoughts on life are an endless source of inquiry and creative inspiration. There are some scenes in this film that will《Lover under the olive tree》This re-emergence is more a reflection of the notion that movies are “dreaming”. The film and the previous one《Where's my friend's house》And then《Lover under the olive tree》A “village trilogy”。
