I just finished watching Nostalgia and I felt a little hazy when I finished watching it. Then I looked for a lot of movie reviews and analysis, and I probably have a little understanding of a few movie clips. At present, I feel that this movie is a bit like A film of spirit and faith, in addition to the apparent nostalgia of the male protagonist for the superficial thoughts of his hometown and relatives, there is also a deeper spiritual nostalgia. Like in the end, why did the male protagonist want to help that Dominic madman to transport the candle from one side of the bath to the other over and over again, because the burning candle is like a faint light like hope, just like Dominic did before he set himself on fire As in the speech, people don't realize that the real end of the world has come (this is the same as he had locked his family at home for 7 years before because he thought the turbid world outside was like the end of the world or not far from it, he I want to save my family. That is, as the male protagonist said: "The madman is closer to the truth or the truth", the madman Dominic may have realized the truth and felt that this materialistic world has no faith, but the prosperous world on the surface is no different from the apocalypse , do not want to let their family members get lost or degenerate in it) and deduce that if you want to survive in this filthy world, you need to have faith, and the faith in the world has changed with the degeneration of people and society, just like the film In the beginning of the church, a character like a priest said: "If people only ask or ask, and do not kneel and pray, will the miracle still be achieved?" I think it is also a kind of nostalgia, not the kind of nostalgia that misses the hometown in the literal sense, but the nostalgic nostalgia for the ideal state of beliefs that existed before the society in the past had fallen and people lost. The reason why I think this is more like a spiritual and philosophical movie is because the change in the experience and mentality of the hero of the whole film is more like a spiritual change of a person, as if it is for his own private affairs, which is similar to collecting himself. Poetry or article material to start a story, and then meet Dominic and become enlightened (like there may be a dream, he was looking in the mirror and he saw Dominic in the mirror, I think it may be that he really understood at that moment Dominica's crazy behavior at that time and the reason why he wanted to send candles in the hot spring) In the end, even if he was about to die, he would send the candles to the other side for "the great cause of human revival".

    It's homesickness that can't go back, and faith that can't be guessed. These two emotions seem to be ingeniously combined. Except for some still amazing scene images and god-like scheduling, I don't like the way this film is handled. Eugenia’s explicit symbol of desire, Dominic’s speech and Andre’s last difficult lighting of candles, are extremely formalistic, almost spreading the truth on the screen, deviating from the aesthetics of the old tower.

    9.0 Holding the candle in the wind, walking through the mist on the spring and heading for the eternal land - he made me, a religious atheist, start to think about what faith is.
