When people mention Akira Kurosawa, the first movie can be "Rashomon" or "Seven Samurai", but it will definitely not be the "Dream" completed by the Japanese emperor at the age of 80. This director, who has influenced the people of the world, is good at portraying the world in black and white. In his twilight years, he used such a perfect dream to show everyone his extraordinary ability to control color. When I was young, as an audience with no professional knowledge, what I was deeply attracted by it was undoubtedly the beautiful rainbow and the peach blossom that spreads in the depths of the wild flowers and grass on the border of heaven and earth. rain. How can I ask, such an overwhelming gorgeous color, blooming in the eyes of Van Gogh under the scorching sun, what would it be if it were not a dream? This is a real dream, but the container that holds this dream is no longer the brain that ordinary people use to carry dreams, but a thick roll of film. "Wild Strawberry" is also the pinnacle of stream of consciousness that depicts dreams, but uses black and white to depict the once bleak and shriveled emotional world of old professor Isak Borg to the audience. In the dream, the gray transition zone is lost. Excessive exposure makes the white so dazzling and the black so lonely. This is an untouchable world. There may be a space for a time, or it may not exist at all. Therefore, it loses the softest and balanced colors of the real world, and therefore, together with the gorgeous lights and shadows in "Dream", it hits us. soul.
"Dream" puts two childhood dreams at the front of the film. This arrangement is reasonable. Compared with the six dreams in the back, these two seem to have a less close relationship with the actual theme. In this lengthy dream, in these eight seemingly unrelated dreams, intertwined are nature, life, death, war, and human nature... the most irresistible thing in this world. subject. Compared with "Wild Strawberry", the connection between dreams uses the life trajectory of the protagonist as a series, which is a bit more coherent; and the theme of dreams is also a personal review and reflection on the past of life. The two actions of looking forward and looking back are always the latter rather than the former. We really doubt the beauty of tomorrow because it is unknown, but we dare not look back at the past, because those are established. Because of how cruel it was to look at one's own past. Those uncertain futures are still in our hands, while those unchangeable pasts are trampled in the mud of interpretation under our feet. Even if the family is rich, even if the wind calls the rain, even if the attention is paid, who can say that those people have no regrets in their hearts? Just as Michael Jackson spent huge sums of money to build Neverland to make up for the lack of emotion in his childhood, when the old professor Isak Borg realized that his life was coming to an end because of a dream, his body, his brain and his heart were all overwhelmed. Consciously began to think about the past. Is a memory or a regret.
"What drove me to make 'Wild Strawberry' came from my strong desire to try to express my strong desire to my parents who had deserted me. My parents were extra-spatial and mythical at the time, and that attempt was doomed to fail. Years later, they Being transformed into an ordinary human being, the resentment I held since I was a child gradually disappeared. Only then can we live in harmony and get along with each other.” In Bergman on Cinema, Bergman said. . There is no doubt that the dreams in "Wild Strawberries" are Isak Borg's as well as Bergman's. Dreams interpret Isak Borg's true heart, while "Wild Strawberry" interprets Bergman's true humanity. Another similarity between "Dream" and "Wild Strawberry" is that both depict the old man's dream. I think yes, the panic of imminent death can be felt so clearly by anyone other than an elderly person whose life is about to fall. In front of the god of death, the truest side of man will appear. Truth at death, breaking through false pretense. It will eventually make you understand that it doesn't matter what others think of you, or how you probe your life. The important thing is that you have to spend the time in a real way that the rain can't stop falling between your fingers. The loss of years and time is difficult to look back on, but it has to be done. Unwilling to be honest with my heart, I don't have the courage to face my failure, so the dream came as expected. It declares that there is not much time left, that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and now, the time for judgment has come. The real in the dream, the real terrible.
Throughout the years of ups and downs in the movie, there are not a few people who use dreams to convey emotions. The recent hit 3D blockbuster, "Alice in Wonderland", which has long held an irreplaceable position in children's hearts, is not also a fairy tale dream for children? It seems that its audience should be children, but adults who go to watch it abound. It's real, it's so real that it exists in the heart of each of us in childhood. Every child has grown up, strong dreams and strength. The body is the container that holds our emotions and spirit. Clearing the layers of fog, those plots in the dream are the loudest cry in our hearts. In fact, none of us have the right to choose our own life, which is hopeless. There are too many helpless things in the world, unfairness that is unaccustomed to, guns and ammunition that we are tired of, and decadent nature that is unbearable... It is not easy to control yourself, so how can you expect to control the world? But we have the right to let the world hear our voice and use dreams.
I can't make it real the way I want, but I still want to present it to the world. Please, listen carefully.
Forgot how long ago, has been flying into his dream. Jinse has fifty strings for no reason. He shuttles back and forth among the flowers in his dreams. He laughs and he is free. When he woke up, he no longer knew whether he dreamed of the light butterfly with that figure, or a long dream that he was no more than a butterfly.
And dream and life, which is real and which is illusory, and who really knows.
