“Why does someone have to die?”
“Some one has to die in order that the rest of us value life more, it is contrast.”
“And who will die, tell me?”
“The poets will die, and the visionary .”
There is beautiful music in this movie which is perfectly coordinating to scenery and the development of story. The plots are so discrete that the stories of the 3 women are intertwined and therefore it is hard to distinguish the character of one woman out of the other 2. However, it is even not a bit chaos when one particular day of each of the three women is so mixed up with the others'. The reason is that the three women are so similar, melancholy, thoughtful, being loved and independent , though they lived in different periods of time.
It reminds me one thing: when I was preparing the AW, with the topic of history, I always wrote some cliché and never really mean anything. This movie informs me that the virtue of history can be demonstrated by exploring the similarity between contemporary people and ancient ones. They must have a lot of features in common, not generally, but specifically a certain group of people who have the similar thoughts and senses. If the history records every living in the world before us, I reckon that everyone at present could find his/her prototypical image in the past. Life is composed of basic elements such as genes are made of 5 basic DNAs. Different people have different composition of basic elements of life hence make the world so flexible that you always find people distinctive. If we find out the basic elements of life,such as the attitude toward things, the reaction to occasions, it may be a better approach to know people.
