Ta'm e guilass

It is a work of art, one of those movies that can not be censored because of the content, thus a good point for an Iranian director. Something I like about Kiarostami's work is that the director does not try to cheat you. Even you can sense the presence of camera in some scenes and the reward is the beautiful picture, like walking in a picture gallery hand in hand with your beloved friend. And suddenly a nice picture catches your attention and you feel happy of the time you spend. If you feel lonely or hopeless, Taste of cherry gives you the sensation that at least you are not alone in this feeling. Still it does not impose any view on you, if the life is always merciful and happy or not. You yourself should decide the end of movie, then after watching the film it lives with your unconscious mind. My view is that Badii is looking for a marvel or sign to believe in life. He appeals against the death penalty that he sentenced himself to. If no reason to live he found a reason to die and benefit a needy person.

巴迪埃伊开着汽车在德黑兰效外徘徊。许多失业者想为他工作，但他没有雇用他们。在公共电话亭，他听到一个年轻人对接电话的人说他缺钱花，巴迪埃伊主动请他搭便车，表示愿意资助，条件是在他当晚自杀后将其尸体掩埋，结果遭到拒绝。后来他又先后找到几个人：收集废塑料袋的人、库尔德士兵、阿富汗看门人以及神学院学生，但他们都拒绝了他的请求。还郑重地告诉他自杀是错误的。最后，一个叫巴盖里的人同意帮他的忙。但到片尾，我们看到巴迪埃伊在品尝新鲜的樱桃，旁白的声音问道：“你是否想放弃樱桃的滋味呢？"
