      Eternity And Day--Love Is The Eternal Homeland

      Part 1: Love is the eternal homeland The predicament and confusion of the poet and hero of "Eternity and a Day" are the same as all the world-weary: "Why do things always go wrong? Why? Why do we have to stink, hovering between pain and desire? Why have I been drifting all my life? Why... we don't know how to love? " Maybe there is a poet in the hearts of world-weary people,...

      eternal day

      Forgive me that the internet speed here is not very good, I fell asleep while watching it at noon. Watching An Zhe's films should always hold a pilgrimage heart, with tranquility and love, to experience this life, the thinking about the philosophy of life, and the great poetry. Greece is really so beautiful, I must stand on the rocks by the sea to take a short film, half the pure sky, half the rocks that have gone through the years. Maybe it's because I'm already in love...

      The life is sweet

      Eternity and a Day is the last part of the Balkan trilogy directed by Greek director Theo Angelopoulos, and the film is still a continuation of his typical style that utilize long takes to construct film language. This article selects a long shot of about 90 seconds starting at 1:46:30 and ending at 1:47:57 at the end of the film, while the shot is not the longest or the most striking one in the film but it also has its special...

      eternity is fleeting

      We are trapped in our own time and space, extending our world in various ways. No matter how vast the world is, it still cannot surpass tomorrow. In the film, the protagonist continues poems and buys vocabulary. He seems to want to expand his life from the cognition of the world. The words he bought from children are full of bitterness and helplessness, as if telling us that we are all exiles of time, wandering in our own back. In the memory that does not go away, but the night is already...

      How will we say goodbye to this feast of life?

      ★★★★★ This is a movie that I can't forget for a long time after watching it, and I am still immersed in a touch of sadness after a few days. The rhythm of the film is very slow, and as the long takes progress little by little, I feel like I'm about to settle down. The cool-toned picture, the formal composition, even if there is no ups and downs in the plot, it is very worthwhile just to appreciate the photography. A monologue like a poem, even if you don't understand it, you can feel the...

      The camera language and soundtrack are really good. The first half of the film is too dull. The interweaving of reality, memory, and imagination makes it difficult for the audience to interpret. It is only in the second half that they gradually feel some kind of rich poetry about life. The settings of the wedding, the bus performance, and the last paragraph are very loving. Hit the heart. But I don't like movies with too strong microphone...

      I don't understand, I don't understand what the movie is going to express, I don't understand the behavioral logic of the characters, I don't understand what story this is about, and I don't understand the meaning of this kind of film. In the end, I don't understand Theo Angelopoulos, not only his movies, but also his profound thoughts and poetic feelings like the sea. ....

      I like that kind of long shot very much. After the protagonist's first-person introduction and scheduling, the protagonist is added to this shot. There is a poetic sense of looping and reciprocating. It can be said that An Zhe constructed his own wild strawberry with long mirrors and...

      An Zhe's poetic quality is not only contained in his lines and shots, but also in the soundtrack and in "memory". The dense rain that penetrates time creates an image mist unique to...

      Love can be a day or an eternity, as long as you know how to love. Every time I look at Mr. An Zhe's works, I have to take a few deep breaths, and I feel infinite sadness after reading it. The gloomy picture, the long shot of the logo, is silent but loud. Anzhe, you left too...

    Evaluation action

    The whole film of "Eternity And A Day" uses condensed and soothing lens language, interspersed with the intersection of time and space that director Theo Angelopoulos is good at, and leads the audience through a person's life with perceptual techniques and poetic narration. The whole film embodies a strong Greek tragedy plot, and the soundtrack made by the female composer Elena Karandro for the film is even more exciting   . (Comment...

    • The Child: You're smiling but I know you're sad.

    • Alexandre: I know that one you will leave. The wind pushes your eyes away but today give me this day as if it was the last.

    • Alexandre: Why, mother, nothing happens as we wish? Why? Why does one have to rot in silence torn between pain and desire? Why did I live my life in exile. Tell me mother, why can't one learn to love?
