No one can show us the meaning of life through a train better than Abbas Kiarostami.
You have probably heard that life is like a train and we are the passengers in it, we must be aware of the departure time, the ultimate destination, and our tickets.
But no one can illustrate this so that your unconsciousness only catches the idea, not your mind.
The film is in three episodes.three episodes with one attitude in common: Tickets.
EPISODE 1: LOVE
It shows and teaches us a true love from an old experienced, life seen man who is a professor and has just fallen in love with his secretary princes. You can see the love, the depth of it through his glasses; And you can learn how to love. At he last seconds of this episode, the writer shows us that love is not just for one person, you can share your love with all of the people in the world as the old man shares his warm milk with the crying baby.
EPISODE 2: IGNORANCE
This episode shows exactly the opposite side of a human.show us how much ignorant a person can be.Show us how a person can bite people an become so lonely to wish to die.
the old woman,wants to go to her husbands funeral,and she is really upset.but she don't have the tolerance and can't control herself,so begins to share hes sorrowfulness so wildly with others that every one gets really so full of hatred that every body leaves her behind.
EPISODE 3: HUMANITY
It's very hard to show humanity in its real shape.everyone interpret humanity as a whole positive manner.but it is not. We, humans, are something in the middle. We have good attributes and bad ones. It is important to see each other in this way; Neither white nor black, just gray.
A group of Celtic FC fans are going to Rome to watch their team's match. They're dying for their team. But something interrupts heir happy trip. An Albanian family steals one of their tickets and at the end the boy who had accused the Albanians of the robbery, gives his own ticket to the girl and here is the most beautiful moment of life, here you can see humanity, passion and love.
I personally enjoyed the first and the last episodes and just pour some tears for the first one. That's all :)
