Everything is clear, not imposed by fate!

Everything is clear, not imposed by fate!

The root of the tragedy is the fear of prophecy. If the Queen had taken a skeptical attitude towards the prophecy, she would not have been eroded by a huge sense of fear to make the decision to kill her son. However, given the background of the time and the unshakable extent of religious beliefs, this kind of prophecy seems like the eye of the sky. Make them unbelievable! This seems to explain the inevitability of fate and the existence of the...

Divinity or Oedipus?

"Oedipus" is so well known that it can almost be equated with the word "mother's plot". Freud did not think that his theory based on sexual struggle could also promote people's understanding. Because modern people are so rich and convenient, they can arbitrarily choose what they need from classical myths and legends, and they don't need to care about the rest. Was Oedipus merely a mother-in-law? I think the world should not be made up of only two different sex organs! The greatness of Oedipus...

Can we escape fate?

His son will kill his father and mother, the prophet foretold. However, no matter how Corinthus evaded, the oracle was quietly fulfilled.

Can we escape fate?

From a young age, I was indoctrinated to want to hold fate by the throat like Beethoven, I was taught knowledge to change fate, and I was told that fate is in my own hands. is this real? Can we change those fates in the dark?

It is said that this is an era of belief in science, and we must eradicate ignorance...

evil in return

I found this film because Hegel cited it as a material for analysis many times in the chapter on ethics and legal system. This film is only a paragraph in the tragedy of Oedipus, and the story of Antigone in the back is closer to the ethics and law.
　　
Oedipus was abandoned by his biological parents at birth, and his biological parents also confessed that those who abandoned him killed him. Fortunately, the man was sympathetic and did not do anything. It should be said that the...

Very good adaptation, the transcendent fate at the end, the echo of the subjective lens at the end is very novel, and the two scenes of Oedipus knowing the prophecy and killing his father on the way of wandering are also very...

#2021 Italian Film Masters Exhibition Sure enough, Pasolini’s films still need to be seen in cinemas, and Mr. Mark Muller’s Chinese is also very good. Because there is more focus on watching films with a guided tour, I understand that the director makes the myth “travel” "The style is also reflected in Medea. After watching the movie, I suddenly understood that this film is about the Oedipus complex. With this concept, I focused on watching how the director came back. The autobiographical...

#ItalianFilmMastersExhibition# Thanks to Professor Mark Muller's pre-screening guide, I realized that the director used the modern Italian style from the beginning to the end to satirize the past and the present, as well as the autobiographical arrangement. Project the fate of nowhere to escape in ancient Greek mythology to the reflection and powerlessness of reality. The so-called "ancient costume" is really a bit primitive. I saw the male protagonist's self-mutilated eyes at the end and...

Adapted from an ancient legend. Tragedy Song. The picture of the film has a simple beauty, which is amazing. 2010.8.21 Last night, I completely read the five-part story of Oedipus in "Ancient Greek Mythology". I remembered this movie I watched in the summer, and I was very moved and shocked. The score was adjusted from 4 to 5. Once again a homage to the great Greek mythology....
