    Quiet and obscure love, dull enough. Divine love was projected on the stunning young man, unaware that death loomed over him. Ah I died for love. The beautiful boy is fleeting, but the movie makes his beauty eternal. If you pay attention to the CC remake poster, the artist did not paint but actually made his plaster - "He has seen Medusa's eyes, and her beauty is immortal." The original novel "Dead in Venice" is better than the movie, The original book describes the boy in this way - "This is...

    Very strange movie. I think it is not a gay movie in the modern sense at all, but rather like a philosophical movie that answers what art is. It points to beauty, love, and death, but it is still a mystery. The youth is as beautiful as San Sebastian. His eyes and consciousness are so...

    Tony Leung said that his favorite movies are "Citizen Kane", "Break in Venice" and "The Ten Commandments". It is not surprising at all, because they happen to represent the three components of the movie: story, beauty and humanity. As a result, three directors helped him achieve a perfect blueprint for art films. They are: Lee An, Wong Kar Wai and Hou Xiaoxian. —— The narrative rhythm is slow, and the soundtrack and atmosphere are beautiful. The director often uses the moving zoom...

    What is modern art? It was the plague, the flower of evil, the wife Orpheus could not look back at. Beauty is a plague, just like Visconti's extreme monotonous mirroring and flooding of Mahler in his twilight years, so morbid, as morbid as...

Death in Venice quotes

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: I remember we had one of these in my father's house. The aperture through which the sand runs is so tiny that... that first it seems as if the level in the upper glass never changes. To our eyes it appears that the sand runs out only... only at the end... and until it does, it's not worth thinking about... 'til the last moment... when there's no more time left to think about it.

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: You know sometimes I think that artists are rather like hunters aiming in the dark. They don't know what their target is, and they don't know if they've hit it. But you can't expect life to illuminate the target and steady your aim. The creation of beauty and purity is a spiritual act.

    Alfred: No Gustav, no. Beauty belongs to the senses. Only to the senses.
