"The Horse of Turin" was directed and completed in 2011 by the famous Hungarian director Bela Tal. The film has the style of Bayesian. The film borrows people to fight against the harsh natural environment, and stubbornly survives in the harsh environment to show the indomitable human beings and the original intention of God. From a text point of view, "The Horse of Turin" is obviously not a pass, and the poor text content alone is not enough to support more than two hours of filming. Bella Tarr's signature sporty long takes and the film's personal imagery add to it. This film presents a story of "Seven Days of Destruction", in which the heroine dresses, fetches water, cooks, eats, and undresses for her father, day after day, monotonous and repetitive. This is a sense of alienation deliberately created by the director. In the middle of the film, the appearance of the role of the "wine buyer" breaks the inner space of the father and daughter. The director uses the mouth of the "wine buyer" to eloquently express the theme of the film. Scenes of God's duel. The film uses only the sound and no picture, and the sleepy narration enhances the sense of alienation in the film. The first shot of this film is a 5-minute long shot shot by Steadicam. The shot is far or near, flat or up. The soundtrack is based on religious sacred music, which enhances the mystery and ritual of the film. feel. The black and white tone style, the sporty and restrained way of moving the mirror, the plain, the wind swept the fallen leaves, the sandstorm, the dry well, the weeds, the scorching heat, the stone house, everything is so cold, simple, rough, and the wind will not disperse. Under the thick fog, the father and daughter depended on each other for life. The daily sitting, sleeping, and daze, as well as cooking and eating potatoes day after day for seven days, in the dark and cold atmosphere of the cold house outside, made people feel like living in a year. , the 155-minute film is simply unnerving. The actor scheduling in the house is also a must. The two people plus camera scheduling, wrong entry and wrong exit, partitioned lighting, and the two walking dead-like drama performances have added a lot to the film. Jansuo's successor, Bella Tarr, lived up to his reputation as "the last master of Europe". But I thought, what's the point of trying to make such a form-oriented film?

    1. Nietzsche said that when God died, he grieved for the rest of his life, laying on the back of a horse and weeping bitterly, sympathizing with all living beings. Then he became seriously ill and cried and said, "Mom, I'm an idiot". 2. In fact, people can declare that it does not matter if they do not recognize the existence of God, and God will not care. 3. This film clearly lists six days, because the seventh day is designated by God as "Sunday", God does not need human recognition, it is people who need God, giving people like fire

    "The Horse of Turin" reduces the lines to a minimum and produces a lot of blank space. Through the repeated scenes of life in long shots, it expresses the boring and eternal reincarnation of life, like the cold wind whistling outside the house: there is almost no storyline Under the appearance of the development of the film is actually a process of destruction, the horse, as a bystander of the film, is also a symbol of Nietzsche similar to the role of Kafka's "The Hunger Artist". Humanity desperately needs to be surpassed. Doomsday before noon

The Turin Horse quotes

  • Bernhard: Theirs is the moment... nature, infinite silence.

  • Narrator: In Turin on the 3rd of January 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Albert, perhaps to take a stroll, perhaps to go by the post office to collect his mail. Not far from him, the driver of a hansome cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver - Giuseppe? Carlo? Ettore? - loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene caused by the driver, by this time foaming at the mouth with rage. For the solidly built and full-moustached gentleman suddenly jumps up to the cab and throws his arms around the horse's neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words "Mutter, ich bin dumm!" and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, under the care of his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse.
