    Movie network news(Text/Cannes Film Festival Reporting Group) On May 20th, French time, Palme d ‘Or director abbas kiarostami appeared in the main competition unit of Cannes. Set in Japan, the film tells the love story between an old scholar and a young girl. The whole film was created by director Abbas with Japanese style, but from the accurate and smooth dialogue, we can see some connection between the film and the director’s previous work.

    The film "Like Love" tells the story of an old scholar Watanabe and a college girl, Jingzi, who want to keep their relationship after spending a night, but they are constantly blocked by people. At the beginning of the film, the director shot it for 5 minutes with a fixed position and lens, and made the heroine Gao Lilin keep silent and not show her picture. And with a prop of her mobile phone, she explained the relationship between Jingzi and her boyfriend clearly, which was not clever.

    When sending Kyoko to school, Watanabe met Kyoko’s boyfriend, Zeming. He lied that he was Kyoko’s grandfather according to his age, and talked about their relationship with Zeming. He also tried to persuade Zeming to break up with Kyoko. After Jingzi got into the car after the test, the most wonderful paragraph in the film also appeared. Three people with their own worries sat in the narrow space of the car and communicated with each other with truth and falsehood. An ordinary three-person dialogue scene, under the control and scheduling of the director, not only did not show stagnation and constraint, but showed incomparable vitality.

    Just after Watanabe, an old scholar, fell into a close relationship with Kyoko, the fate surrounding him and Kyoko seemed to become an organic life, which developed in a new direction with their choice. The test topic of Jingzi in the film "Evolution" also coincides with the proposition of "selective evolution of fate". However, in the changing fate, every character seems to have a final destination. People soar with the waves of fate, and in the end they are inevitably thrown back to the shore, soaked and shivering. For Watanabe, if you choose a crystal, you will also choose to be bright. So when it was finally discovered that Kyoko was lying, Zeming ran to Watanabe’s house to make trouble, the big stone thrown at the window also came from the hand of fate.

    The film "Like Love" is regarded as the next episode of director Abbas’s previous work, and the two films eventually form a series of "exotic love" by Abbas. Just as Woody Allen traveled around Europe, Abbas, the great director, also made films abroad in recent years. The background of this film is set in Tokyo, and Gao Lilin and Jia Guangliang are all Japanese stars. Watching this film, you can easily find that Abbas, as a foreigner, observes Japanese society carefully. At the same time, it is not difficult to find the differences between the film and Japanese films in the standard Japanese scenery of "Like Love".
