Looking back for a moment, reborn forever

Ten stars. Accurately step on my most personal aesthetic orientation towards video, music, poetry, and narrative, but it is so inscrutable that it is impossible to interpret and there is no need to interpret it at all.

The atmosphere is greater than the story,

It is the pure emotion of high-concentration, high-dose, irregular smoking,

It is a raving collage, a memory collage, a dream collage, a metaphor, a symbol of a person's childhood, the history of many nations, and everyone's retrospect. The mirror is your heart, reflecting my soul. god.

At the beginning, a gust of wind whistled, but it always brushed the pasture, and the decisive departure at this moment is a sign of an infinite gentle return.

Time and space finally burst into flames, collapsed, and overlapped, instantly disappearing into the illusion, and instantly retrospectively surging back, the original heart was unattainable, the present heart is unattainable, and the future heart is unattainable.

    A broken mirror, every fragment is full of emotions, like every little thing hidden in the memory palace, in fact, they are all unusual, because they determine your current appearance. It's just that the memories in the film are a little depressed. As the director said, books are not payrolls, but a manifesto, and the poet's mission is to ignite the spark of the soul, not to foster idolatry. His films are not entertainment but dream reenactments.

    Everyone is obsessed with "understanding" a movie and explaining it with a consistent logic. But Lao Ta himself is actually opposed to deciphering his works. In his view: = artwork, which has no thoughts, meanings, plots, development, endings, and symbols should not be abused. The farther away the audience is from the content, the closer to the image. Therefore, any interpretation of the film is nothing but a self-projection. Emotional and intuitive touch and proximity are enough.

Mirror quotes

  • Father: It seems to make me return to the place, poignantly dear to my heart, where my grandfather's house used to be in which I was born 40 years ago right on the dinner table. Each time I try to enter it, something prevents me from doing that. I see this dream again and again. And when I see those walls made of logs and the dark entrance, even in my dream I become aware that I'm only dreaming it. And the overwhelming joy is clouded by anticipation of awakening. At times something happens and I stop dreaming of the house and the pine trees of my childhood around it. Then I get depressed. And I can't wait to see this dream in which I'l be a child again and feel happy again because everything will still be ahead, everything will be possible...

  • Forensic doctor: You know, I fell and found strange things here - roots, bushes... Has it ever occurred to you that plants can feel, know, even comprehend? The trees, this hazelnut bush...

    Natalya: This is an alder tree.

    Forensic doctor: It doesn't matter. They don't run about. Like us who are rushing, fussing, uttering banalities. That's because we don't trust nature that is inside us. Always this suspiciousness, haste, and no time to stop and think.
