    4.5 Compared with "Poems Endless", it is much more realistic. I plan to watch the two documentaries of Jordu. "Films have healing properties." These two biographies of him are too similar to psychotherapy. Old Jordu, re-examining childhood to form new cognition. The path of self-exploration of the violent father combined religion, history, and politics in his father's story, which made a huge difference. Jordu keeps expressing the separation of spirit and flesh, the objective world is an...

    God is your father, son, friend, neighbor, you, me, and us. Your mind is a fractal of the Universe. The movie points out a path of quest for the soul, heading towards the North Node. The sympathetic person learns to be brave, and the brave man has lost the cage of the flesh and the "self". Death and pain are eternal, and trembling and mourning with love and hope. We can only learn to grind them all together into powder and dust into...

    Poetry is an endless prequel, but it mainly talks about his father's political disenchantment, and the change of perspective is a bit unnatural....

    I am not very interested in this gorgeous and fantastic narrative method, and personally prefer a more realistic narrative method. This is a film where the director looks back on himself and his family, and the narrative of the whole story is good. However, it is filled with too many elements, too many images and symbols, from Stalin to religion, so much that it is almost overflowing from the film. The director only appears in the film, there is no need for the film, only the director's...

    Shadow 20299: I watched "Poems Without End" first, I never thought that "Dance of Reality" is more ZZ, only the wind, but as Bob Dylan said: the answer is floating in the wind, the answer is in the wind...

    Well, such straightforward surrealism is difficult to understand. But I like some of the lines in it are very...

    The prequel of "Poems Endless", the childhood story is nothing to watch, but the experience of the father who believes in communism is more tortuous and...

    The magical reality of home and country, the absurd history of homeland and people. Wanton and publicized strange imagination, gorgeous and cold like a dream. The hatred of politics and the wonderful conversion of faith, the insane inclination and the incomplete reason, the kindness that hangs like a thread, the peace and tranquility that is like a dream at last, the magical land and national character that people can't understand and love, Violence, darkness, optimism, simplicity and...

    The opening poem

    ODE TO MONEY
    Money is like blood,
    it gives life if it flows.
    Money is like Christ,
    it blesses you if you share it.
    Money is like Buddha,
    if you don't work,
    you don't get it.
    Money enlightens those who use it
    to open the flower of the world,
    and damns those who glorify it,...

    About Childhood Fantasy

    A little background to explain. Playing the father. In fact, it is the director's son.
    The film is actually a semi-autobiographical film by the director. The director himself is that child.
    The real director's father is as tough as the movie.
    And the real mother's wish when she was a child was to...

The Dance of Reality quotes

  • Alejandro as a child: The darkness is swallowing everything. It's going to devour us.

    Sara: Alejandrito, do I love you?

    Alejandro as a child: Yes, Mama.

    Sara: How much?

    Alejandro as a child: From the sky to the earth.

    Sara: This is not my love, it comes from God. I am merely the sender. As God creates all, so we all radiate His love. My son, the darkness loves you as much as I do, for it is God's shadow.

  • Alejandro as an Adult: [From film trailer] You and I, have only been memories, never reality. Something is dreaming us, surrender yourself to illusion. Live! Everything that you will become, you already are. What you search for, is already within you. Rejoice in your sufferings, thanks to them, you will reach me.
