    That sky, no matter how many times I look at it, is so quiet and beautiful. Ordinary days kill love, but death can wake it up like thunder, make it sublime, and cause the soul to be buried. You look at her eyes, what a huge difference before and after. Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack is always so perfect, and Bertolucci is always able to interpret exotic flavors so...

    When I watched comfort of the strangers, I suddenly remembered this piece. The discovery of Wikipedia, the original work was written in 1949, and the background is set in 1947. After the war, the first generation of confused middle class went directly to North Africa, until the nth generation of young women had an affair with the wretched uncle in Tokyo, carrying forward the lost...

    The sunset in North Africa, with its peculiar hues and breathtaking warm red, is maddeningly beautiful. The still bald John Malkovich, music by Ryuichi Sakamoto. It's not the sky that covers it, it's...

    7 points. Bertolucci's Oriental Trilogy. The virtuous couple embarked on a journey of exile to relieve the post-war + tin marriage itch, but under the Saharan sky is not a paradise of paradise - what should be disintegrated, returned, retained, and escaped will not change. Ryuichi Sakamoto's main theme. The orange desert, the blue moonlit night, the mysterious ventriloquism three times: those eternal moments. The version I watched was 5 minutes less erotic...

    Flies in Africa scared people to death, and a camel in the tribe deceived a white American, Mrs. Yazhai, who fell from the sky. This story tells us not to travel...

    lost under a veiled sky

    Lao Bei's films often make people feel very boring, "Last Tango in Paris" is boring, "Stealing Fragrance" is boring, "Dreamer" is brighter because of the magnificent background of the times and the young and uninhibited heart, but there are still some It was dark and dull. This "The Covered Sky" is...

    The Sheltering Sky - a story about being lost

    Like most couples who have been married for ten years, Potter and Kit lived a dull life without passion, and there were silent gunpowders everywhere. They came to the Sahara in North Africa together with their friend Rayner.
        Potter and Kit are lost in the desert, secret wars are intertwined...

The Sheltering Sky quotes

  • Kit Moresby: According to Port, everyone eventually gets used to anything.

    Tunner: If that were true, it would be the end of progress.

    Kit Moresby: No, I'm sure it's true. I just don't know whether it's good or bad.

    Port Moresby: Neither.

  • Port Moresby: Could you be happy here?

    Kit Moresby: Happy? Happy? How do you mean?

    Port Moresby: I mean, could you like it here?

    Kit Moresby: How do I know? God, I wish you wouldn't ask me questions like this! Really! I can't answer them. What do you want me to say? "Yes, I'll be happy in Africa"? I like Ain Krorfa so much, but I can't tell whether I want to stay for a month or I want to leave tomorrow.

    Tunner: You couldn't leave tomorrow even if you wanted to. Can't get any information about how to get out of this place. No buses, not even a fruit truck. Nobody speaks English. Anybody for a nightcap?
