    So great! I liked the beginning and the end of "The Bell" very much. The bell-casting boy said that his father never told him the secret of bell-casting. Like divine revelation. Even Andre, who had sworn an oath of silence, spoke up. This is the moment of epiphany. In the beginning of all things, there was language. Seeing that the wandering artist later accused Andre of being a whistleblower, I went back and re-watched the scene where the three monks came to the wooden house, and was amazed at...

    Four and a half stars. [183min Blu-ray version] Tarkovsky's second feature film, a biopic of the icon painter Rublev, nearly three hours of black and white turned into a few minutes of color paintings, and the focus is not on creation but on the mental journey before creation. The shot scheduling is very good and very skillful, especially I am very impressed by the several ascending shots that God overlooked. Some of the scenes are similar to the old tower's debut "Ivan's Childhood" -...

    The first time I saw it, I barely followed, trying to figure it out, but couldn't figure it out. The second time I watched it, I stared at the lines, the plot was understood, but the result was still incomprehensible. This is the third time I've watched it. This time I watched it with the lines turned off, but I still can't understand it. However, it's more a lack of deep understanding (about suffering, art, religion, crime, and people's selective silence) than a lack of understanding, but that...

    @183min. It belongs to Tarkovsky's epic. The torrent of narrative density wraps the characters on the historical totem of spiritual imprints. The omniscient perspective behind Rublev examines all living beings. The group portraits of the characters in the place, some narrative associations and Kubrick, but compared with Tarkovsky's coverage and transcendence, it can still deduce the same level in the case of far less audio-visual richness. The thickness of the epic is partly due to the clarity...

    This is really the best Christian film and artist biography. He has encountered all the doubts in the hearts of true Christians and true artists, and the reactions of the people around him are very familiar. Yet I shamelessly took a nap in the middle of the war scene where the Tatars smeared the Russians, and missed the crucial moment of his...

    Watching such a heavy epic requires detours and reminiscences from time to time... The film is composed of a series of independent events, showing Tarkovsky's in-depth thinking on the suffering of the nation in the 15th century. The mirror is extraordinary and full of poetry. The bell-casting boy lay crying in Andre's arms, and the dry wood under his feet was stacked into a colorful...

    Tarkovsky's second feature film, depicting the life of the great Russian painter Andrei Rublev in the poetic cinematic language unique to the tower. In terms of style, "Andrei Rublev" is a historical film. It tells about the distant past, but from the narrative style of the film, it is also a work with a great sense of the times. Like Fellini's "La Dolce Vita," the film is made up of a chain of independent...

    The film is too long, heavy, and mixed with a little national suffering in Russia, so it still has an indecipherable tower label. Personally, I feel that Laota's works may be better with novels and poems as...

    Long shot epic. "What is artistic creation?" The allegory about "talent" is a kind of obscure divine revelation, "I saw it but didn't understand it, heard it but I didn't understand it", the large number of references to the "Bible" makes the film seem unusual repressed. However, from another old tower-style symbol - water and earth - it is still shocking, such as this Russian man who refuses the sky, so that the hot air balloon angle of the title still stubbornly faces the...

Andrei Rublev quotes

  • Andrei Rublyov: I am what I am. You couldn't teach me integrity.

  • Andrei Rublyov: You just spoke of Jesus. Perhaps he was born and crucified to reconcile God and man. Jesus came from God, so he is all-powerful. And if He died on the cross it was predetermined and His crucifixion and death were God's will. That would have aroused hatred not in those that crucified him but in those that loved him if they had been near him at that moment, because they loved him as a man only. But if He, of His own will, left them, He displayed injustice, or even cruelty. Maybe those who crucified him loved him because they helped in this divine plan.
