Director's note
The human attempt to find or make the meaning of life. Exactly, these centuries that are called modern and post-modern eras.
For many people, the previous meanings of life are demeaned. They are living in a world where suffering by lack of meaning.
He is attempting to search some valuable things in history and current stories.
But The farther he goes, the less he finds
If we assume that the mankind is the same by his thoughts and in the other side, existence is a feeling into the mind. So conclude if we want to know about human, his life, meaning of life or existence we have to think about thinking.
The question is how do the human think?
So we studied
Ahmad Vakili and we are guided to the Deeper layers of meaning. Those depend on the culture, history, geographic areas and …
For understanding these concepts, we need some fundamental philosophical concepts such as archetypes.
So, an Iranian person wants to research on himself, he has to study three fundamental topics. Poetry and Literature, Image and Elegy
“The Image” define how do the people observation and how to represent.
