An Zhe observed a day's life of the dying old man with a calm long shot. He used poetic long shots, composition, and colors to show the old man's contemplation of death and memories of life. Combining scenes and poems, the inner monologue presents a picture of consciousness. Flowing picture.

Interactive music with strangers is used to reflect the long-term loneliness of the elderly, and the inner monologue casts a layer of gray inside, like the fog on the seashore.

The daughter's selfishness, indifference is prolonged with a long shot. The indifference to the father and the rejection of the puppy are also the voices of refusing to accept the father.

Interspersed with reality, dreams and fantasies, recalling the figure of his wife and repenting for his neglected love, it clearly describes the world where the poet is immersed in creation and also neglects his wife. His wife wants him to be with him, but he rushes to the cliff to pursue it.

The white fog also cast a shadow on the Greek society. Children who entered the country illegally were hunted down by the police for survival and trafficked by human traffickers. An Zhe calmly recorded all this with a long lens, and made a silent complaint. The moment the children got off the car The innocent smile creates a huge contrast effect, which is an invisible attack on the unreasonable society.

The children on the border plainly told the memories of fleeing, but the content was startling, sweating for him, but the pictures were calm and vast, using the contrast to amplify the tension of the pain and fear in the memories. The dead bodies imprisoned in iron nets on the border move intermittently, using surrealism to show the dead people's struggle for life.

The combination of the depressing picture and the lively wedding highlights the desolation of the old man's state of mind. The puppies who have nowhere to live get sustenance, and the rest of the old man's life is still wandering.

The corners of Sailin's mouth moved slightly, and when the children paid homage to him, he let him continue to tell stories and exchange texts. The firelight reflects on the child's face, and the warmth and belief in survival he once bestowed will remain in the child's memory like a fire burning.

The next clip shows the old man saying goodbye to his mother, and the double sadness penetrates the viewer's heart. The mother has Alzheimer's, but her memory is lingering on having called her son to dinner, like a yellow light shining in a dark room. The old man said goodbye to his mother with a sincere voice from the bottom of his heart, and the voice was so sad and painful that he could not break free.

The words that the poet bought back reflect that the old man is wandering in his native land, but he is a stranger in a familiar country.

A lifetime is concentrated on the station. The essence of love: passing away and betrayal, and then another stranger will pick up the flower; the passion of revolution is like a red flag, but then it falls asleep; the music of passion is like the ideal of blood, but it fades away like this Suddenly; poets use poetry to praise and affirm life. The three riders in yellow raincoats are like a wandering journey.

The whistle of the ship wailed, and the child's life accompanied the ship to the lost night. The old man stopped in the middle of the road, his thoughts undulating like the rain sweeper.

The old man returns to the empty house at the end of his life, but fantasizes about making up for the love he once lost to his wife.

The titles of eternity and one day can be interpreted in multiple ways. Children and the elderly get along for one day, but the kindness and humanitarian care of the elderly will leave children with eternal warmth. It can also be the last day of the old man's life to reflect on eternal memories.

The director said that the soundtrack was the unspoiled blood in the film. The soundtrack felt like a thorn to me, drawing blood from my heart. The other is a tribute to the sadness of life.

"How long will it last tomorrow?" "One more day than forever."

    Sending apples will rot, sending roses will wilt, sending white grapes will be crushed, and I will send my tears...

    [Angelopoulos "Balkan Trilogy", the third] Four and a half stars. It belongs to the relatively easy-to-understand works of Anzhe dimension. Bergman has "Wild Strawberry", Angel has "Eternal and One Day". Wandering poets and wandering children, black reality and white memories, present all kinds of helplessness in life. Meet the tomorrow that will never be seen, meet the tomorrow that will never be known. "—How long will it last tomorrow?—One more day than forever." At first glance, you may think that these An Zhe films have not made much progress in their techniques, but if you look closely, you can find that An Zhe's 360° + panning in the early stage has also been used. Combined with the viewpoint, the environment, and even its original level is perfectly integrated with the text. Favorite scene: ①The music starts again after the music is turned off, and the surreal audience’s subjective known turns into the reality of the objective unknown; ②The people on the fence at the border of the snow are full of people, staring at the hard-to-reach places like "Stork" ; ③It was only when he pulled away that he found the poet in the ruins, the protagonist slowly walked into the dreamlike scene, and finally walked to the ruins of life in person.
