"Mirror" - a feeling

Treva 2022-04-19 09:02:31

Eager to express, desperate to express, until the language malfunctions, starts to become coherent, starts to stutter (narrative becomes confused and clueless) to say things that language cannot describe. Tower: "'Mirror' is not a selfish work, I'm talking about the feelings I have with the people closest to me, my relationship with them and my feelings about failing to do my part." "I haven't seen you in a long time." Dad. The longer I haven't seen him, the more frustrated I get and the more afraid of seeing him. Obviously, I have mixed feelings about my parents. I don't feel like an adult when I'm with them, and I don't either I feel like they treat me like an adult. My relationship with my parents is a little weird and a little complicated, it's hard to articulate, it's not a straight-forward relationship. I love them a lot, but I never feel at ease with them, I Think they do too. I think they love me but are a little wary of me...they're too reserved to talk to me about it, of course I am. It just seems like it's going to go on like this. When you're noncommittal , it's hard to talk. Whose fault is this? It's them, or me, or everyone?" I didn't expect this feeling to be expressed in a movie, thank you Laota.

Mirror quotes

  • Father: It seems to make me return to the place, poignantly dear to my heart, where my grandfather's house used to be in which I was born 40 years ago right on the dinner table. Each time I try to enter it, something prevents me from doing that. I see this dream again and again. And when I see those walls made of logs and the dark entrance, even in my dream I become aware that I'm only dreaming it. And the overwhelming joy is clouded by anticipation of awakening. At times something happens and I stop dreaming of the house and the pine trees of my childhood around it. Then I get depressed. And I can't wait to see this dream in which I'l be a child again and feel happy again because everything will still be ahead, everything will be possible...

  • Forensic doctor: You know, I fell and found strange things here - roots, bushes... Has it ever occurred to you that plants can feel, know, even comprehend? The trees, this hazelnut bush...

    Natalya: This is an alder tree.

    Forensic doctor: It doesn't matter. They don't run about. Like us who are rushing, fussing, uttering banalities. That's because we don't trust nature that is inside us. Always this suspiciousness, haste, and no time to stop and think.
