    Everything is limited. We always take the good times for granted. In fact, we all live behind the protective shell of modern civilization. Women would rather be enslaved than aimless. Basically faithful to the original, and you know Bertolucci understands it from the beginning. However, the deleted part is not very good, and the understanding is not very thorough. What is "freedom"? Is it...

    One of Bertolucci's relatively unsuccessful works, the loss in the film is only because of illness, not the confusion of heart and...

    To put it bluntly, it's a road movie, but Bertolucci's shots will always have a magic power that attracts people's...

    Big stuffy film, old Bertolucci has given up on the narrative and plot, and exiled his emotions to the Sahara. There is finally a sermon at the end of the film, but it seems far-fetched. Lost films like this don’t necessarily have to be shot in the desert, and it’s too weak to express the subject purely through the set. The soundtrack and pictures are beautiful, but that belongs to Sakamoto Ryuichi and Sahara, and has nothing to do with Lao...

    Empty. Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Things happen only a certain number of time. And a small number, really....

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] North Africa leaves a lonely shadow, and the soul breaks the Sahara. He lost his life in a harsh environment, but found the relationship between husband and wife. The scenery of the Sahara in North Africa is matched with the ethereal music of Ryuichi Sakamoto, and a sense of sadness arises spontaneously. The second half of the plot is more protracted and sluggish, and it is still too simple. There is a spectacular view of the desert camel team, and the...

    Not all subjects are suitable for epics, some are destined to become classics, some will only make people feel...

    Under the veil of material and cultural foundations, we wantonly squander our tiny life energies, entangled in all kinds of dilemmas that we set ourselves up for: this is probably the message Bertolucci is trying to convey. But unfortunately, Bertolucci did not make a strong interpretation in the language of the film, and the whole film was superficial and focused on curiosity. Bertolucci's trilogy of different cultures all have the embarrassment of such a high-end and unsupportable starting...

    desert of love

    Death does not take away our loved ones, on the contrary, it keeps them, keeps them lovely forever, death is like the salt in our love, and life dissolves love.

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?
