Kiarostami’s film "Where Is My Friend's House?" takes a minimalist approach to depicts Ahmad’s spiritual and ethical quest amidst a quotidian and rigidly disciplined adult world. The film echoes the poem’s quest narrative through Ahmad’s mission to return his friend’s notebook, thereby saving his friend from the teacher’s harsh punishment. This narrative unfolds in a society where children navigate adult rules out of obedience and fear, but Kiarostami imbues his young protagonist with a profound sense of morality and determination to go against it.

阿巴斯的电影《我朋友的房子在哪里》运用极简主义手法，精妙地描绘了Ahmad严苛的成人世界中对精神与道德的追求。影片通过Ahmad归还朋友笔记本的使命，构建了一个诗意的叙事框架，既展示了他对朋友的深情厚谊，也让朋友免受老师的严厉惩罚。在这个充满顺从与恐惧的社会里，孩子们往往被迫遵循成人的规则，而阿巴斯则赋予了Ahmad德深邃的道德感和挑战规则的勇气。

Kiarostami’s realist style, characterized by instinctual camera work, profoundly captures Ahmad’s emotional journey. For example, when Ahmad is torn between obeying his mother’s command to stay home or taking the risk to return the notebook. This inner conflict is poignantly illustrated through a specific shot: Ahmad hesitates behind a hanged towel, pause for a second, before resolutely grabbing the notebook.

阿巴斯的现实主义风格，以本能的摄影技巧为特点，深刻地展现了艾哈迈德的情感历程。例如，当Ahmad在是否服从母亲的命令留在家中，还是冒险去归还笔记本之间挣扎时，这种内心的冲突通过一个特殊的镜头得到了生动的表现：他在挂着的毛巾后面犹豫了一瞬，停顿了一秒钟，最终决定毅然拿起笔记本。这一刻的犹豫和决断，深刻地揭示了他内心的矛盾。

Kiarostami juxtaposes intimate, kinetic shots of Ahmad with static, expansive landscape shots, transforming Ahmad’s seemingly simple quest into a grand odyssey. For example, there are multiple scenes of Abhadd running among the zigzag landscape towards a tree on the top of the hill which the zigzag could be a visual symbol of the difficulty of his journey while the tree mirrors the mystical symbol in the poem that inspired the film. Throughout his journey, Ahmad encounters numerous obstacles and indifferent adults, highlighting the rigid, dismissive nature of the adult world. Yet, his unwavering persistence underscores his moral integrity, symbolized by his navigation of the maze-like village.

阿巴斯通过将拍摄Ahmad的亲密动态的镜头与静态广阔的风景镜头并置，巧妙地将Ahmad看似简单的找寻转化为一场宏大的奥德赛。例如，影片中多次呈现出Ahmad在“之”字形的山路上奔跑的画面，他的目标是山顶上的一棵树。“之”字形的景致象征着他旅途中的艰难曲折，而那棵树可以联系到阿巴斯作为灵感起源的诗歌中的宗教符号。在整个旅程中，Ahmad遇到了种种障碍和冷漠的成年人，进一步凸显了成人世界的刻板与轻视。然而，他在迷宫般的村落中坚持不懈的精神，鲜明地展现了他的道德操守。

Kiarostami’s choice of a child protagonist reflects the notion that true moral highness and spirituality is often embodied by innocence and purity in a child like Ahmad, untainted by the complexities of worldly rules.In Persian mysticism, a friend can symbolize God, making Ahmad’s mission to return the notebook an allegory for seeking divine truth and embodying ethical responsibility. Thus, "Where Is My Friend's House?" is not only a story of a child’s journey but a meditation on spiritual quest and moral integrity amidst a dismissive adult world.

阿巴斯选择儿童作为主人公，体现了他对道德崇高与精神境界的独特理解——这些品质往往更容易在像艾哈迈德这样天真纯洁、未受世俗复杂规则玷污的孩子身上得以展现。在波斯神秘主义中，“朋友”常常作为神的符号象征，这使得Ahmad归还笔记本的使命成为了一个寻求神圣真理并履行道德责任的寓言。因此，这部电影不仅仅是一个孩子的故事，更是讽刺成人世界的冷漠和轻视，从而对精神追求与道德操守进行深刻沉思。
