in the end holding a badly wounded lover, he asks infinitely sad and cautious:
"Do you love me at all ?" Ah, the old unsolved problem.
The sky is full of yellow sand, and the vast land of North Africa does not seem to be an ideal place for a traditional love to start. Is it the line between heaven and earth that makes people more lonely?
For Katherine, I feel that it is constantly changing during the viewing process. I feel that she has a brilliant technique to control love, but she may not have clear eyes to identify love. I
like her from the simple portraits copied from the caves, with a few strokes, But it also seems to be able to have life and start to be smart.
I watched "The English Patient" first and then "The Sheltered Sky", so when I see Kit later, I always think of another woman in the North African desert.
Kit and Port seem to suffer from love aphasia, which is very strange. , why did the place where I left New York and came to be a one-year walker was here?
The location factor is absolutely critical in both films, and without that context, the story seems to be very different.
We die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have...entered and swum up like rivers.
Fears we have hidden in ---- like this wretched cave.
I want all this marked on my body.
We're the real countries, not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men.
I know you'll come and carry me out into the Palace of Winds.
That's what I've wanted: to walk in such a place with you, with friends, on the earth without maps.
I especially like the words Katherine wrote to her lover when she was dying. It was also my favorite moment in the whole film, so worth it.
It is hoped that not only the borders on the map, but also the taboo lines on the mind can disappear?
The important thing is that everything can no longer be set according to the so-called strong.
Going back to the past, do people from the West want to find their true home in the North African desert? Life is indeed a difficult one.
Paul Bowles' original "The Sheltering Sky" was watched after the movie. My personal feeling is that it is more exciting.
There is no meaning to compare the movie at all. Bernardo Bertolucci's adaptation and interpretation follow his film language.
Interestingly, the role of the narrator in the film is Paul Bowles himself,
who was in his 80s at the time, perhaps more appropriately called a wise man.
Because we don't know when we will die,
we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well.
Port said that I have loved you for so many years, Port said that I have lived for you all these years,
Port said that you know? It's been ten years, and you haven't called me affectionately anymore. Seeing Kit lost her husband
in despair and despair, I miss her and Port's backs when they rode a bicycle together and sparred away.
These are two of my favorite films that just happened to tell stories that happened in North Africa. Whose memory doesn't matter, only love, that's great.
