Wilderness: The house in the vast universe: A metaphor for the old man of the century under the rule of God: a metaphor for the Pope, priests and daughters: a metaphor for us humans (the general public) Drunkards: a metaphor for the theologians who realize that God is dying Old horses: a metaphor Philosophers represented by Nietzsche (I didn't realize until I saw half the fucking way that the old horse was the metaphorical Nietzsche) Gypsies: the well of self-consciousness brought from the cosmic flood: the source of belief in God The night is exhausted: God is dead The last fire: awake and extinguished, extinguished and lit again, metaphor for the awakening of human self-consciousness. The sixth day: the era of human beings, in the darkness, groping for raw potatoes, or silence, etc. die.

    Homework done before translating film reviews. Saw Tal's long shot, but it's very engaging. A sharp expression of the predicament of human existence. Kelemen's photography is great.

The Turin Horse quotes

  • Bernhard: Theirs is the moment... nature, infinite silence.

  • Narrator: In Turin on the 3rd of January 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Albert, perhaps to take a stroll, perhaps to go by the post office to collect his mail. Not far from him, the driver of a hansome cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver - Giuseppe? Carlo? Ettore? - loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene caused by the driver, by this time foaming at the mouth with rage. For the solidly built and full-moustached gentleman suddenly jumps up to the cab and throws his arms around the horse's neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words "Mutter, ich bin dumm!" and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, under the care of his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse.
