Is Azaro happy?

This year's Cannes best screenwriter award film "Happy Lazaro" has resources. The Italian director of the film came from a philosophy department, and I can imagine it is my favorite style. But I didn't expect it to be so simple and magical. The story is simple, the 16 cm film makes the picture rough and distant, and the strong Azzaro has a pair of deer-like eyes. . . Is Azaro happy? In his enigmatic pure eyes like a deer, there is ignorance, holiness, servility, loyalty, selflessness, and fearlessness arising from ignorance. The director explores the weakness of human nature, the difference between urban and rural origin, the role of education, the lost path of politics, the emptiness of religion, the conflict between tradition and modernity, the weakness and inaction of art, the source of stratification, and the homeland that cannot be returned. The final image is: Lazaro falls, the old wolf is wandering in the streets, good people (or ignorant people) and weak wolves will not be able to adapt to the current society. The director is not reiterating the law of the jungle, she is just asking us to participate in the discussion. In this magical and rough real world, human nature is mixed with divinity, servitude and animal nature. Can it survive all the current harsh winters, political and religious issues? Economic and moral winter. It is a sad and poetic philosophical image. But the grief is not serious. The director let the music of the church organ "escape" and played it specially for Azzaro and his party. This is her effort to give the world some compassion.

Happy as Lazzaro quotes

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: Human beings are like animals. Set them free and they realize they are slaves locked in their own misery. Right now, they suffer, but they don't know. I exploit them, they exploit that poor man. It's a chain reaction that can't be stopped.

  • Marchesa Alfonsina De Luna: He who knows himself well is humbled in his own presence. And the praise of other men provokes no pleasure. If I were to know everything in the universe and scorned the charity who would bring me the grace of God? Who would judge my actions? One should go beyond the thirst for knowledge that is the root of distraction and disappointment.
