The most vivid loneliness

On March 13, 1996, French Polish film master Krzysztof Kieslowski passed away in Paris-heart failure. When a heart bears the most inescapable ugliness and pessimism, original sin and indifference from the human soul, no matter how vigorous it has been, it will end up in a sad stagnation after exhaustion. Kieslowski is like the tropical rain forest in Brazil, absorbing all the evils emitted by the world and releasing the cleanest oxygen through photosynthesis. No matter you or me, when this oxygen penetrates your heart and spleen, you will be throbbing with all the good things in life.
The master’s works are familiar to all enthusiasts. From "Double-Sided Veronica", "Red, White and Blue Series" to "Ten Commandments", and "Walking to Heaven", each one is utterly sound, and I am most intoxicated by "Red Porn fans. This kind of liking may come from my understanding of Kieslowski. He is indeed a weird old man. In the early days of shooting documentaries, he always emphasized one sentence: "How do people perform their duties in a stressful life." When he discovered that "the closer humans are to the camera, the easier it is to disappear." I considered my own film road, how to use the most appropriate film language to tell about the feelings and self in the background of the complicated life, and confused with the close and alienated you, me and him. This kind of thinking led to the 1991 "Double-Sided Veronica" and the subsequent "Red, White and Blue Series".
Kieslowski has never regarded movies as his entirety. He is always awake in the ocean of movies. He understands that movies are a means to express his perception of life. So when someone asked if he likes movies, he replied blankly: "No!" This is the man who would rather read a book and go to the cinema on weekdays, but he took pictures that made countless of us breathe heavy and obsessed with force. Movies, I have to say that the talent of movies is born with him.
"My only strength is that I am pessimistic." The master explained his character in this way. In "Blue" and "White", pessimism seems to fill the air around us, and everyone has nowhere to hide. And all pessimism is caused by loneliness. The night is a nightmare for all human beings, especially when it comes you are alone. In "Red Love", you will find that all the protagonists will have a dog, whether it is an old judge who eavesdrops on someone's phone, a heroine who is always suspected by her boyfriend, or a young judge who is given a green hat by his girlfriend. Animals are human friends, and dogs are especially human. It will jump around with you when you are happy, curl up beside you quietly when you are sad, and stick out your tongue to lick your tears when you cry. Its loyalty to you can surpass any of you. A boyfriend and girlfriend. Just like the old judge’s dog in the film, even though its owner ignored him and tried to give it to the heroine who bruised it, when it healed, it would still fly back to find its owner, even if He once abandoned it.
In "Farewell My Concubine", Cheng Dieyi is sobbing like saying, "If you say it is a lifetime, that is, one year, one month, one day, and one hour will not be called a lifetime." The feelings of a lifetime are equal to love. Can people do it? If you can't do it, why do you have to promise and cheat? Dogs can't speak, so naturally they can't swear, they just stare at their watery eyes, stubbornly returning to your side when you kick it away. There has never been an animal as familiar with betrayal as humans, and there has never been an animal as loyal and loyal as a dog.
Every person who is naturally pessimistic is lonely and afraid of being alone. There is a small animal around him, which may be a cat or a dog. At least at night, when there is no one around, he can still taste the taste of hugging and feel the other A body temperature.
In "Red Love", the old judge who has been betrayed by his most beloved woman will never close the door at home. In his opinion, nothing is eternal, and things to go can't be kept, so he rejected the dog returned by the heroine. Instead of suffering in the future, it is better to cut off the roots of love now. Injured people always instinctively reject others, like a protective mechanism. "If you are afraid of love, you won't be in love." After all, people are emotional animals, and a rock-solid closure will be squeezed out of a crack by the glow of emotion. A kind-hearted female protagonist, loves life, is extremely loyal to her boyfriend in a different place but has to endure his unwarranted suspicion. The old man who sees the bottle thrown will come forward to help, and the dog will send it to the hospital if he hurts it. Find the owner. When the two met, the old man was melted, and he let out a sigh of emotion, "Unfortunately, I was born 30 years earlier than you." The ice melted, and the water flow would be faster than any river, and the same was true of feelings. The old man began to change. Reported to the police his behavior of tapping other people's phones; watching his dog change from being alone to the mother of six puppies; opening the dusty garage, starting the graceful and luxurious Mercedes-Benz, the suit and leather shoes appeared in the performance of the heroine, It is hidden in a corner where no one has ever noticed. The silent feelings are like a tree that will not bloom. There is no strong redness, only the rhizomes that have penetrated into the ground for several tens of meters, spreading, stretching, and tightly grasping the soil.
At the end of the film, the heroine's ship to Britain was hit by heavy rain, and countless people were killed. The old judge's expression was horrified, and the seven surviving people appeared on the TV screen one after another. The old man's nervous eyes were flushed. The first one is not, neither is the second.... The sixth is not, until the appearance of the seventh person: tears are hanging in her eyes, she does not seem to be removed from the panic just now, her hair drops off, and her lips Wei Zhang, behind her is a red background. The old man swallowed, as if exhausted as he had passed his life in an instant, he silently walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside. Through a piece of broken glass, a broken heart is quietly healing.
