    A true masterpiece, an insurmountable peak. The use of color, the control of the camera, the release of poetry, the beginning and the end, the documentary fragments, are all touching, and all exude philosophical brilliance. Bach’s John Passion puts a complicated and delicate sacred shell on the whole film. It's great, it's great. 2021.09.28 Tarkovsky was really influenced by haiku. From this perspective, he has the same kind of wabi-sabi as Ozu, but the old tower has a supernatural power in its...

    Like Kurosawa Akira's last "Dream", this is an extremely personal movie, and it is filmed for oneself to see. The windy trees in the countryside, the dilapidated and water-stained walls of urban apartments, and the silent faces in the mirrors are dizzy into painting-like shots by Tasman’s poems and soundtracks. We can only find a very small part of ourselves, and the rest belong to millions of...

    Take memory in the same way: Bergman's medium is consciousness, from the inside to the outside. There is a strong sense of chaos, the soul is out of the body, and the emotions are infected; Tarkovsky's medium is the environment, the outside world itself. Flowing water, raging fire, mirror surface, the atmosphere is clear, the light and shadow are excellent, but the emotions are difficult to capture. I can appreciate beauty, but not all beauty is what I love. This kind of movie is like peeking...

    92/100, use a mirror to examine, use images to connect, use memory to compose poems, regardless of sadness and joy. The natural elements of water, fire, earth and air are used as puzzles to amplify the sound of the environment to create a strong audiovisual, and each paragraph has a clear characteristic of main vision + main hearing. It seems that there is no logic and rhythm, but when it is fully integrated, the staring side I can perceive this perfect channeling, the energy transmitted seems...

    A soul without a body is guilty, just like a naked body without thinking, doing nothing, without inspiration, without a poem, a mystery, and never answering: Who can return after dancing in a place where no one is company? I dreamt of another soul, which has a strange dress: it runs and burns, from suspicion to hope, it is pure and transparent, like burning alcohol, fleetingly leaving only the lilac on the table: Forever in...

    If you use one word to describe this movie, it is poetic. Lao Ta transformed his father's poems into video poems. In fact, they talked about the same theme as "Solaris". Time and memory are the eternal life of mankind. In the limited time of life, mankind still has to do a lot of wrong things. But looking back on my life, everything that I had in contact with my life constituted a lifetime memory. Whether it was clear or vague, this memory was like everything in the mirror after all, and it was...

    In Tarkovsky's autobiographical film in the context of the former Soviet Union, some people have to be more afraid of things when they do things, and then the camera turns to Stalin on the wall. History is the mirror, and the dream language of images of black and white interwoven at different times like fragments of water and fire. Chinese fragments are also a kind of contrast, not to mention the shadows that many later works have been influenced to refer to. The film version of the Northern...

    The autobiographical elements of the old tower in the movie cannot be easily traced. On the contrary, these autobiographical elements are superimposed, interlaced and other crossing methods, like fragments of a mirror, need the audience to piece together. In addition, the music of the Soviet-Russian avant-garde Edward Artemiev is perfectly combined with the scene of the wind and the ringing in the movie. PS: There is a piercing lens in the movie. Didn't Old Tower notice...

    Resolutely one star, the movie is not used to embarrass the audience, never watch Tarkovsky...

Mirror quotes

  • Father: It seems to make me return to the place, poignantly dear to my heart, where my grandfather's house used to be in which I was born 40 years ago right on the dinner table. Each time I try to enter it, something prevents me from doing that. I see this dream again and again. And when I see those walls made of logs and the dark entrance, even in my dream I become aware that I'm only dreaming it. And the overwhelming joy is clouded by anticipation of awakening. At times something happens and I stop dreaming of the house and the pine trees of my childhood around it. Then I get depressed. And I can't wait to see this dream in which I'l be a child again and feel happy again because everything will still be ahead, everything will be possible...

  • Forensic doctor: You know, I fell and found strange things here - roots, bushes... Has it ever occurred to you that plants can feel, know, even comprehend? The trees, this hazelnut bush...

    Natalya: This is an alder tree.

    Forensic doctor: It doesn't matter. They don't run about. Like us who are rushing, fussing, uttering banalities. That's because we don't trust nature that is inside us. Always this suspiciousness, haste, and no time to stop and think.
