fate

From the perspective of mysterious perception, the film explores the state of existence at the spiritual level of human beings with ultra-detailed psychological and emotional descriptions. The expression method is too symbolic and full of a lot of hints and metaphors, which makes it

difficult to understand the director's lens language and the themes behind it. Whether it is idealism or materialism, fate and mystery, everyone has experience in life, and this is mysticism. There is a theory that there is a certain gap between idealism and materialism, and

this gap is filled by mysticism. Director Kieslowski's creative space is the gap between rationality and idealism. Having said so much, I feel that I have fallen into the speculation of the concept of philosophical nouns. If I go

further it will not help the discussion of the theme of this film.
OK, back to the movie itself. Two VERONIQUEs, who have never met, but perceive each other, seem to share a soul and influence each other's fate. If so, let us believe in fate and mystery, will the essence of life be

nothing but meaninglessness? If we don't believe in destiny and we want to master our own destiny, will the essence of life go to another extreme, to endless greed? I think this is a multiple-choice question. A person cannot

believe in fate and feel that he can control his fate. I think I believe in destiny.
Others believe that the director expressed his resistance to politics through the film. If it really has such a meaning, it is either hidden too deep, or my understanding ability is limited and it is really difficult to understand. If we make a

superficial connection, maybe the political ecology, just like the essence of life, is as incomprehensible as the essence of life, full of fatalism, and various political forces also influence each other, eventually leading to nothingness. There is no absolute political right or wrong.

Then, the common meaning of politics and life lies in the process.

    #Northern Film Festival Review# The color tone, the color of the music and the color of the film are perfectly combined with the warm tone style film. 04:05, singing in the rain. 06:18, excellent run handling. 10:01, the world in the glass ball. 13:48, the pinball hits, the dust falls, an emotion. At 14:59, the Red Gloves reinforce themselves to see themselves. At 17:14, the tangled fingers loosened and ended the scene. At 24:05, the hunched old woman outside the window. 28:14, stunned to the ground, subjective shot. 38:09, puppet show, play within play. 48:26, a letter with a cord. At 49:30, light and shadow communicate. 01:19:34, the ring slid across the eyelids.

    #9# It seems like a kind of bondage with a strange expectation. The scene where the two girls meet by chance is very beautiful. The slow panning makes this moment seem like there are only two people and two girls. The gradual presentation of deja vu It feels like this coincidence or fate slowly emerges from another me in the world. It seems like an island resting after a long journey of searching.
