the darkness of freedom

He was trying to climb up the sand slope while continuing to slide down. Watching this scene, I almost realized the truth of life.

Whose freedom is the real freedom? All mortals come to the world to break free from their mother's body. As a human being as small as dust, how can they think that the big world is a cage.

Especially when you can choose the item, choose the label, choose the music, choose the spouse, choose another place to go. "I, a free me, how can I be trapped in such a place, ridiculous, I will go out one day!" No matter how

precious freedom is, it cannot be worth the water to quench your thirst.

The biologist told the woman in the sand house about life in Tokyo. He talked passionately, and she listened calmly. She said, I don't want to go anywhere, I still have to dig sand, and where else do I need to go, here is my home.

Yes, the director depicts despair with mundane dialogue. Home, crumbling, on the verge of destruction, supports everything in life.

People will not always obey some noble and primitive tacit understanding in the spirit and make endless attempts, such as the pursuit of "freedom", it is difficult to judge whether the submission after experiencing severe torture is a lie, if we put this kind of Submission to the judgment as true is equivalent to acknowledging that people can live like animals, obeying certain rules in their instincts and living, digging sand for living, and living for digging sand.

Over and over again, he found his passion in the sand cave, that is, the discovery that the sand pit can store water, he "breaks away" from the trap of slavery, and finds his "freedom" in the passion he puts in, the scope of this "freedom", It's just the size of a sand cave, he still has no news of Tokyo, and he can't go to the sea, but these things now seem to him, but Erer, the question "what is life itself" that once devastated him is no longer important.

Nobility, baseness, narrowness and breadth have already been explained, and as a human being, the only choice is to give meaning to existence in surrendering to fate.

    When a man and a widow live together in the same room, some sparks will inevitably spark, and then the "Stockholm Syndrome" of being under house arrest occurs. I watched the 147-point director's cut version. Except for the sand girl's "innuendo" curve, which can generate fancy thoughts with the sand dunes, there is no more nutritious picture. In fact, can there be really good things in 1964? Certainly not. So don't go after it deliberately, just enjoy the movie honestly.

    Best private film history. The game between the sexes in the claustrophobic space, the question and speculation of existentialism, and the reconstruction of the post-war Japanese social model. Written by Abe Public House, directed by Emissary Hiroshi Kawara, and scored by Toru Takemitsu, it is a masterpiece of film history created by the right time and place and people. The desert in the film is like a sea of ​​time and space, firmly sealing those who step into this place, and slowly engulfing the dignity and hope of what is a human being. The unfortunate insect lovers were tortured by the gravel to the critical point of sociality and animality, and then used their remaining rationality to find the meaning of living in such a space. The photography is shocking, and the opening sound and picture are separated to clarify the metaphorical theme; the flow of sand dunes reflects the actions and psychology of both sexes; insects and gravel-covered body parts frequently appear in close-up, highlighting the animal nature of man under the conflict between man and the environment. What's interesting is the attitude towards science in the film. Science seems to have a kind of inspiration to the East, and there is always a kind of mysticism in science in the eyes of the director...
