      Ulysses' Gaze--Bystander Gaze and Thinking

      The protagonist is always like an observer who is not in the story. Everything that happens around him is sometimes related to him and sometimes irrelevant. The bystander represents staring. Like the scenery in the fog, it can also be regarded as an "epic road movie" in my classification.

      Trapped in time all the time, unable to distinguish between the present and the past, it seems that he has another identity and can do anything before. The time changes suddenly, and...

      Top 1 most difficult movies to eat during the Spring Festival in 2022

      First of all, An Zhe's movies are notoriously boring movies! It’s still 3 hours long, and it’s really only on the evening of the Spring Festival when I’m so busy that I started watching it after I made up my mind. I didn’t get a clue in the first 50 minutes of watching it. It’s really hypnotizing. !

      The houses in Albania in the 1990s are really familiar, standard...

      search, journey, doubt, nostalgia

      I'll come back
      with someone else's clothes, someone else's name
      but you know my return is unpredictable
      If you see me and don't believe it and say,
      "You're not here"
      I'll show you the signs
      and you'll be I'll trust me
      I'll talk to you about
      the lemon tree in your garden The
      cold window pierced by the moonlight
      And the marks on the limbs The marks of
      love

      As we step closer to the dream Between
      every hug
      Between every call...

      gaze


      Resurrection of long and still souls in flowing time
      Travel is a lonely dwelling lair
      Shipwrecks and nostalgia can't keep your
      sad face
      Your eyes are like a diffuse fog
      , migrating slowly, soaking clothes

      The wilderness of Arakawa and the reciprocating snow
      We wandered side by side in the fog
      , blowing away all the mysteries
      , leaving only the white fruit
      left for the stars to open and bathe
      in, leaving solid and sincere...

      poet angelopoulos

      This time, Angelopoulos chose to walk around the national border, looking at this virtual and reality in a dynamic way. It looks very narrow but spans between two different ethnic groups, which is especially difficult to cross. The boundaries formed over tens of thousands of years separate cultures, languages, blood, politics, and ideas. Although there are countless people in this world who have the greatest feelings, they can only surpass one lifetime. No matter how many desires, no matter how...

      An Zhe thinks that no matter he studies architecture, the music should be good, the space feels really good, and to put it purely, but as a movie, I still don't like his style very...

      Powerful and heavy. The ruins stare at time, the wanderers stare at their hometown, the unbelievers stare at memory, and the author stares at images. It can be regarded as An Zhe's most important autobiography, which condenses all aspects of his grief. A lot of good shots and scheduling are also totally film-historical...

      In the poetic white fog, there is an unreachable tomorrow, and the ruins on both sides of the road are a cruel and mournful past. The body walks alone on the road, but when it reaches the destination, the soul is already full of emptiness on the way. The origin of the movie, it was an era of peace and love, a time and space that I wanted to escape from, and it was the exit that exuded a faint light, and only by staring at it can I persist in...

      I love the beach scene at the beginning! The whole is very long and there are many paragraphs, and some English lines still make me a little uncomfortable. The driver gives nature's biscuits and respects the snow's guidance. This section is simply too cute! The old woman standing alone at the intersection, the protagonist reunites with her mother in the past tense, and the plainclothes dance and take people away in the music, "A fog is a festival." Shots covered in fog. 0729, SAC,...

      I watched it for three days and fell asleep twice, but I have to admit that there are some beautiful episodes, for Lenin's sake. ....

    Movie quotes

    • A: I didn't expect to see you suddenly, I guess... For a moment, I thought I was dreaming of you... Like I did all these past years... Do you remember the railway station?... You were shivering in the rain, like now... The wind was blowing hard... I was going away, but I meant to come back soon... And then I got lost, wandering along strange routes... If I could stretch out my hands, I would touch you... And time will be held again... But something is holding me back... I wish I could tell you I'd return... But something is holding me back... The journey isn't over, not yet!

    • A: Good night, good night... Parting is such sweet sorrow... that I shall say good night, till it be tomorrow... sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breasts... would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest... Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell... his help to crave, and my dear hap to tell!

    • A: [final lines] When I return, It will be with another man's clothes. Another man's name. My coming will be unexpected. If you look at me unbelieving, and say "You are not He", I will show you signs and you will believe me. I will tell you about the lemon tree in your garden. The corner window that lets in the moonlight. And then signs of the body, signs of love. And as we climb, trembling, to our old room, between one embrace and the next , etween lovers' calls, I will tell you about the journey all the night long. And in all the nights to come. Between one embrace and the next. Between lovers' calls. A whole human adventure. The story that never ends...
