The Mirror (1975 Tarkovsky) Cinema is the director's art, just as poetry is the poet's crystallization. Only when the film is liberated from the "plot" from the screenwriter is it truly free and independent art. If poetry is used to compare movies, then poetry's "image", "metaphor", "analog", "rhyme", "bixing", "contradiction" and other techniques and the condensed theme of divergent free association degree are borrowed from movies, then it is not "" The problem of lines and narrative logic on the plot" are "expression on the camera" and "editing skills". Therefore, a good art film examines the director's ability to "write poetry" with the lens, which is also a core of art film theory. If a writer wants to write a good work, he must first learn language and writing skills, and a director must learn audio-visual language if he wants to make a good work, instead of studying the "plot". Television is the art of screenwriting, and movies are the art of directing. If a movie is written only by the screenwriter, it is likely to lose its image quality and charm. So Tarkovsky's film is to tell us that he is a poet, not a storyteller. He uses images to write poetry. His images are free. As a poet, he uses his favorite audio-visual language to create "poetry", such as black and white images, such as slow motion, such as ticking water curtains, such as collapsed ceilings. They have no logic but together they are poetry of images, free expression.
