The perfect composition at your fingertips, the homesickness of countless long shots. Tarkovsky put the complex feelings and fragmented memories of going home to the country in this movie. Carving...

Freedom should be straightforward and therefore poetic. It's so beautiful. The rhythm is correct and beautiful, but it feels too long. There should be a way to speed up the rhythm but also achieve the same mood... Photography is so beautiful that there is nothing to say. Just write down your understanding, it feels like you'll forget it soon. I think it's about the conflict between primitive desire and civilization. Civilization refers to simple integrity and correctness. Freedom is a kind of...

If there is a poem to say, it becomes a shadow in Tarkovsky's "Homesickness". The madman Dominic and the poet Gorchakov are two sides of him. One cannot inhabit the soul, the other is always wandering; the other uses self-immolation to wake up the world, and the other guards the candlelight. In the close-up of the seven-minute flame at the end of the film, the fire burned and extinguished, and then reignited. I thought of Ann Rand’s poem. Finally, the candlelight burned and reached the other...

I can't forget the fragment of the writer walking slowly with a candle. "Emotions that don't need words are unforgettable." The director's poetic language all expresses the return to the ancient Russian...

The old tower becomes a poet and gives his soul to a lunatic. A self-enclosed poet and a madman isolated from the world, two similar people overlap in the mirror: the madman chooses to self-immolate to follow his faith; the poet walks in the dry hot spring with a candle, and finally falls by the candle . In fact, the "1+1=1" (everything in one body) on the wall has already indicated the unity of the director, poet, and musician, that is, the homesickness that everyone has and cannot be...

It's homesickness that can't go back, and faith that can't be guessed. These two emotions seem to be ingeniously combined. Except for some still amazing scene images and god-like scheduling, I don't like the way this film is handled. Eugenia’s explicit symbol of desire, Dominic’s speech and Andre’s last difficult lighting of candles, are extremely formalistic, almost spreading the truth on the screen, deviating from the aesthetics of the old...

Give me an unextinguishable candlelight for eight minutes, so as to miss the atonement, the soul is lost, waiting for me to reach the other shore, the oil is exhausted, the lamp is withered, and the lamp is withered to sleep, and finally...
