    This is the highest state of love! Not for possession, but just to be able to coexist for a short moment in a common time and space, as long as you are where I can see, let you occupy my heart. So...

    The strong tension between pure beauty and own impure desire. To be honest, I don't think Mahler's symphony should be used all the time, and there should be some space when the protagonist is struggling. In addition, as a film based on a full-length lens, most of the scenes are very...

    I'm going to climb the top of the summit / I'm going to see the sunrise again / I'm going to see the best of God's blessed land / Until my eyes are tired / And let the white snow bury me / My grave is written / Here No one was buried / then / then and / let it go...

    #962|#SIFF2016Rewatch, believe in love. But more, lies in the stubborn longing for life. Artists wither, artworks are lonely. Mahler and Dirk Bogarde are nothing to brag...

    For an artist, it is an elusive futile effort to find the holiness from the banal. That boy, like the most beautiful existence in the world, drives the musician to destruction. In this Platonic attachment, all materialistic impulses have long been surpassed, and the fetters have lingered for a lifetime. (The beauty in Thomas Mann's writing lies in the impossibility of pursuing the ultimate beauty. As Wilde said, there are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what we want, and the...

    You can hit 100 stars for the beauty of the beautiful boy male supporting role! ! It's not so much about homosexuality as it is a film about aesthetics. I agree with what the musician said, humans cannot create beauty, we can only feel and learn what beauty is from nature and the universe (taste and aesthetics are also acquired learning experiences and results). The artist's labor is merely imitating and reproducing the beauty created by nature as much as possible. Therefore, being beautiful is...

    #SIFF2016# is in tears in front of the big screen. Aesthetics comes out of instinct, but it is invaluable to take care of beauty without disturbing it. On the one hand, the clouds are clear and the wind is clear, while on the other hand, it has already experienced a thousand sorrows. Such a rich and long, hopeless love and a subtle mood alternating between joys and sorrows adds to its tragic beauty from a private voyeuristic perspective. Beach Mirrors are really confusing. Until I die, there is...

    The musician Ashenbach, who was slowly eroding his life by disease, came to Venice, where cholera is endemic. Everything around seems to be lifeless. The old man on the boat, the boatman, the manager of the hotel, everyone looked like a demon sent by the god of death, and they led Ashenbach to find where the god of death was. But it was the beautiful Tacio who really led him to death, the beautiful boy who represented the beauty of reality, the beauty of nature, and the temptation of beauty. He...

    I don't agree that this "the most beautiful boy in film history" can be understood as the incarnation of classical beauty. If you look closely at those classic ancient Greek juvenile sculptures, you will find that this long-haired and glamorous boy is not very good either in face or body shape. In line with the classical definition of beauty. The beautiful boy is actually a symbolic symbol of life and time, and even has a hint of aggression. The evil smile and the mysterious behavior of the...

    The opening chapter leads to the paradox. Gustav arrives in a counter-movement posture, becoming an isolated person with a failure of communication, and at the same time becoming a moth to the flames prisoner under the new attraction. The collision of past memories and dream imaginings against reality, as well as the mysterious plague are all externalizations of fear. The push, pull and pan of the camera provide a solid and reliable observation dimension. Under the invisible barrier of the...
