This is a somewhat ironic and absurd film about dreams interpreting dreams. His contradictions and absurdities remind us that this is not life, this is a work of art, and this is a film.
Because JD went to see this movie, I was deeply attracted by the beginning of the movie. I especially liked the shot of the balloon floating from Alaska to New York. With the right theme song, it seemed to bring the audience from primitive to modern. Then the camera freezes on the scene where Axel wakes up from his sleep, and he says: Good morning, Columbus.
I watched this scene N times, and I kept thinking about the meaning of Hello Columbus.
Axel is a young man in New York who doesn't want to live a modern mainstream life. He would rather face a fish with a soul every day than a car that can make money every day. He hopes that he can go to Alaska and live a simple and primitive life. He has all kinds of dreams, and he likes all kinds of unrealistic things, so much so that he is deeply attracted by Erin's dream of flying, whose innocence and full of fantasy make Axel feel affectionate. So they started their crazy flight plan and crazy love.
However, the reality still defeated their love. Irene's doubts and lack of self-confidence led to their emotional contradiction. Coupled with the contradiction between Grace and Irene, and the emotional entanglement with Axel, everything finally broke out. In the end what remains is the broken love and the lonely freedom of Axel. He went to Alaska alone to live a primitive life.
Hello Columbus.
Mom said that even though America is no longer the America where the New World was discovered, she would still say hello Columbus.
Dad says work is like a hat for you, even without pants it won't embarrass you.
In yesterday's class, the teacher talked about Mexico and Mayan culture, and about the primitive Indians in the Americas she saw in Mexico. The ancient civilization was so fascinating. And the Indians are now forced by whites into the slums of Mexico City, and there is almost no Mayan culture left.
This kind of simplicity, this kind of primitiveness, this kind of culture is a kind of human existence. And is this existence without various masks and various weapons closer to the soul?
Suddenly understand, hello Columbus, is what Axel wants to say to this modern world as a primitive man, a native who is close to the soul and close to the soul.
I'm a native Indian, and when I wake up and see these white men from afar, say hello: Good morning, Columbus!
