      Shadow of the Wind and the Car of the Night

      When watching this film, I always think of "Shadow of the Wind". It is also because of a book that I pursued an author and visited a few old friends, so as to understand the past in the context of the turbulent family and country.

      There are also similarities between the characters. Amadeu is as erudite, calm, and honest as Miguel; Estefania is as beautiful and entangled as Nuria, but she loves the writer Julian, so Amadeu is more like their coincidence. And Jorge, another of Amadeu's...

      If it were you, would you want to try a different life?

      An act of kindness aroused a strong curiosity about the experiences of others, which made the university professor who lived a turbulent life go beyond the track that was not necessarily loved but already solidified, and embarked on the night train to Lisbon, revealing a wonderful life.

      When I first saw the film, I felt that this process of peeping at the ups and downs of others that we only have when reading books and watching movies can be visualized as a...

      Movies and travel

      Records in Canberra on August 29, 2014:

      Last night, I finished watching the movie "Night Train to Lisbon", which I did not watch the night before. The beginning and the end of the movie are the same few sentences. The protagonist of the movie slowly reads it right down to the depths of his soul. I heard it: "we travel to ourselves when we go to a place that we have covered a stretch of our life, no matter how brief it may have been. But by traveling...

      We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place; we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there. We travel to our souls when we go to a place that we have covered a stretch of our life, no matter how brief it may have been.

      But by traveling to ourselves, we must confront our own loneliness. And isn't it so that everything we do is done out of fear of loneliness. Isn't that why we renounce all the things...

      Well directed, well acted, and well filmed. But the script and editing are too bad, the screenwriter has almost no use of dramatic language, the rhythm is too fast, and the transitions are very rigid. A typical European literary...

    Evaluation action

    The film basically follows the idea of ​​the original book. The man in the film who suddenly wants to jump into a wonderful journey is the representative of many Europeans who live with nothing but numb and numb. And such an act of breaking the order shows that it is right. The passion of life and the unknown. Although every actor performed well in the film, I have to say that this film full of reflections and philosophical discussions...

    Movie quotes

    • Amadeu: We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place. We stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there. We travel to ourselves when we go to a place. Now we have covered the stretch of our lives, no matter how brief it may have been.

    • Amadeu: What could... what should be done, with all the time that lies ahead of us? Open and unshaped, feather-light in its freedom and lead-heavy in its uncertainty? Is it a wish, dreamlike and nostalgic, to stand once again at that point in life, and be able to take a completely different direction to the one which has made us who we are?

    • Amadeu: But by travelling to ourselves we must confront our own loneliness. And isn't it so everything we do is done out of fear of loneliness? Isn't that why we renounce all the things we will regret at the end of our lives?
