conscience and memory

Everyone has a conscience and remembers Tarkovsky's "Mirror" Beauty is ineffable, ineffable. Paradoxically, poetry is also ineffable. If you like to read poetry, and there are things in your dreams that you can't understand but are deeply moved, then go see this movie, it's art within art. Best movie I've seen so far. Good to see I don't know how to express it. It is as if the wind crossed the hills and dreamed of the crooning of horses in the fragrance of the earth. A call from the bottom of the well, somewhere far away. The swallows had already returned to the eaves, the sunset glow was red and wet, and under the tiled house, the soil mixed with rainwater ran wildly in the people's residence. The door was blown open by the storm, my mother held me and waited for the lightning, and my deepest fears came from afar, and the dark depths murmured. I mourned for a sky when I was pulled back. Just as I was being pulled back, I mourned for a sky where you jumped off the top of the mountain, and you were met with emptiness. I should be like a horse. In my childhood, my horse was silent, quiet and loyal. I am like a dandelion seed that has been blown off, in a movie, I turned my head and saw in the wind the land that was once, the mother that was once (now its stem is dry at the feet of pedestrians) I am doomed to die, death It's always as it should be to survive. The person you thought was never who you thought you were. Only the mountain knew me. When I knelt down and kowtowed to the mountain and prayed for it to take me away, it rained in the distance, the wind was blowing, and I heard Feng's voice tweet. The hometown is far away, the homeland is not yet safe, and the people have not returned. Humans are still alive, life is exhausted, and the mystery remains unsolved. All that should always be remembered by us, turned into beautiful memories and poems, from which we can no longer speak. Good luck to Jun, I like "Mirror", a small mirror, wearing my soul in the hole, asking about my existence. My immortality is enough, because my blood has flowed through vicissitudes. - Tarkovsky, The Mirror

    When I read it, I always feel like I have seen it, but I really haven't seen it. Of course it is not enough to watch it once. The film’s preset is probably to allow you to relive it countless times. But I think as long as I enter the movie theater with my brain, it is okay to understand the main line. I don't know what it means to brag about being asleep in the cinema with a friend doing this.

    Like Kurosawa Akira's last "Dream", this is an extremely personal movie, and it is filmed for oneself to see. The windy trees in the countryside, the dilapidated and water-stained walls of urban apartments, and the silent faces in the mirrors are dizzy into painting-like shots by Tasman’s poems and soundtracks. We can only find a very small part of ourselves, and the rest belong to millions of fans.

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.
