我的观后感:
Director Fereydoun Jeyrani has fabricated a tragic ending for this love tale. Love ends while violence sees the day.
Another film I watched most recently "Life is beautiful" (1998) is also about love and family 'out of norm', facing tragic fate which seemed beyond anybody's control. But faith and happily-ever-after souls triumphed not by discrediting and questioning vehemently other's evil intention but rise above it with a blissful faith that is untarnishable no matter how evildoers try to subject it to.
Two details in "The Last Supper" touched me deeply.
1. Mrs. Mashreghi was about to leave the room and told the Univ. officer 'I refuse to answer any more question". He stated that if she walked out of that room and didn't write down all she know, both her and her student will be expeled from the University. Mrs. Mashreghi turned around. Walked to the table, grabbed the pen, take a long look at Univ. administrative personnel, and wrote down "I felt earthly love towards him".
2. In the beginnig and at the end of the film, Mrs. Mashreghi's old nanny was telling the story with tears. 'My lady wants to write everything down in a book. So people will know her story....'. After Q&A section seemed over, the police says 'She doesn't want to see her father. She only wants to see you.' ( she, being Mrs. mashreghi's daughter). On her way to the cell, the nanny stopped by the standing father, " I don't want her to die...'. the father says with a seemingly heartbroken emotion. In the cell room, the daughter was asking 'Is my mother still alive?'. 'Yes, She is...". The old nanny says without hesitatation. 'Do you want to keep her letter? Can you read it to me? ' The nanny hold hands with the daughter. The young woman repeats her mother's words monotoniously to her mother's most faithful old nanny: ....A woman's heart must be filled with love. Or else, malice, hatred and revenge eat her away... You want me to stand on earth and yet run away from early love?...
I remember this line from my fortune cookie, "Society prepared its crime and criminal commits them." WOW! i shared my cookie with the other two friends that were dining with me that night. And i wondered how fortunate i am that I undertand what it is trying to say and i haven't committed any crime by laws of my day. I had my toils, i had my woes but i haven't been in jail although i married once to a man who had been in jail in Canada. I am in love with a Chinese writer who got out the jail in China after 9 months short stay from September, 1989.
When Mrs. Mashreghi wrote down 'I felt earthly love towards him', i doubt that i can ever feel exactly what she has on her mind. The film is in Farsi with English subtitles. Can I ever ever grasp the undertone of her language through the lense of filming and how can I know for sure what is common between us?
'I felt earthly love towards him' can be
1. 'I shall feel earthly love towards him'
2. my heavenly love command me that i bent my will to write this down 'I feel earthly love towards him'
3. I am following what i feel at that moment and i copy it down what he once wrote me 'i felt earthly love to you'
My teacher, my lover, my inspiration once wrote this long essay, professing a profound view on Chinese history. In our ancient history, timelines are always blurred by our classic notion of time in our language. Scientific inquiries on history done by the West must focus on timelines which is the universal measure of all things objective. Yet if we tell the history as it concerns our living in our time, can you tell 'what is in the future and what is now and what is past' from what is in our mind and what is not?'
The eternal recurrence of the same 'The Last Supper'.
