Russian heavy

I have bought a collection of Tarkovsky's films for a long time, and I haven't finished watching it yet. A genius director who died in his 50s, with only 7 and a half films, has such a profound and expansive power, so that the viewer will not be able to manage the spirit, converge his mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and dare not watch it rashly.

The reason why people look bored is that people's hearts are too impetuous. Such a movie is always worthy of life; it is people's frivolity and shallowness, I'm sorry for such a movie, and I'm sorry for my short life.

"Homesickness" is Tarkovsky's most poetic film. The film can be made so elegant and solemn, poetic and literary, it is hard to imagine without seeing it. There are many masters who are good at expressing dreams. Here in Tarkovsky, dreams and reality are one, and the fear and melancholy in the memories are also accompanied by one's life. As an artist who was mercilessly exiled by the former Soviet Union government, he has always had a deep affection for the land of Russia. It is not so much that people are wandering, it is more that rootless plants are wandering. The film uses abstract and symbolic methods to make this Behaved incisively and vividly. When I watched this movie, the book I was reading was Herzen’s "The Past and Thoughts". In a daze, I felt that Herzen and Tarkovsky were the same person—the kind of painful and depressed Russian intellectuals. The strong character, that kind of humanistic spirit dripping with blood, grew up on their land and is unique to their nation. The endless struggle with fate is their destiny, and this struggle, whether successful or not, has achieved their indestructible national dignity.

Write down a passage from Herzen: Only strong people admit their faults, only strong people are humble, only strong people forgive-and indeed only strong people laugh, but his laughter often resembles tears.

    Sculpting time, sculpting Tarkovsky's movie, in the early spring afternoon, lethargic. Knowing that he is a master, and also knowing that the master is awesome, I just feel too bored. I have a headache all afternoon. If the film is purely artistic, is it too torturous? The old man died suddenly when he was 54 years old. He is the same age as the old man, right? !

    It has a great influence on my vision, but after watching it again after ten years, I don't like it so much.
