Crazy Narrative in the Anxious Age

Outstanding women will always be more self-sufficient than men, better able to recognize the essence of life, and more pursued; in their lives, men continue to appear, young men encountered in girls’ generation, middle-aged men living together after marriage, And the last old man of life.

Men are the masters of this world. However, men are naturally more fond of looking at the world, but less caring about themselves. Observing the role of a man, he becomes more of a woman. Good women's evaluations of men—such as the wives in The Knife in the Water—are utterly inferior.

Every 20-year-old girl meets a man who makes her heart fascinating, and there is no one who is free, full of fantasy, and has ambitious pursuits. Finally they met and fell in love and stayed with each other, but men love the world even more-they make money, calculate, invest; calculate cost performance and position. Finally, when the 20-year-old woman entered middle age, she discovered that the free, fanciful, and ambitious man had disappeared. Instead, she was replaced by a bald man who wandered around the city all day long.

She was silent, because she knew that all of this was inevitable: life must be plain and lasting.

However, when another free, imaginary boy challenged his man’s authority, she would also say: "'Do you think you are not him? He was just like you when he was 20 years old! One day, you will become His!" The

boy is ignorant and scared, but still exudes the charm of innocence and freedom; the woman is wise and compassionate, but still longs for the passing years and youth.

In my opinion, this is a story about the essence of life.

    It was of epochal significance for Poland at that time, but the film itself was actually average, and the contradictions and conflicts between the characters were a little less tense.

    It starts with a vague picture and ends at a stagnant intersection. With three people in one boat, the camera successfully played the role of a voyeur; suspicion and jealousy permeated throughout, and the "record" without a position did not kill the suspense, but rather provoked harassment. The knife that fell into the water has been pierced to the bottom of the sea.

Knife in the Water quotes

  • Young Man: [reciting a poem] Night. The oil in my lamp is low, Mosquitoes whine about me, That handful of stars above, Mother, are they you? Are you the white sail on the lake, Or the waves that lap the shore? Have you strewn my pages with stardust?

  • Andrzej: What d'you think you look like?

    Krystyna: Like your wife.

    Andrzej: Without me you'd be a whore!
