Revisited Tarkovsky's "Ivan's Childhood". The last time I saw it was eight or nine years ago. This time I watched it because I came across the photo of the filming scene of the classic kiss scene in the film. Listening to music, reading a book, or choosing a movie is often an inspiration. Instant craving, satisfied in 95 minutes.
Under Laota's camera, each character is a philosopher, muttering to himself, facing reality deeply and intensely. In the war, smiles and love are leftovers, and the audience is amazed by it. He also photographed a few dreams, which were bizarre, beautiful to death, or depressing to death.
War keeps children away. Better not to mention optimism, romanticism. That's all propaganda.
Sartre has also seen the film and wrote a review, which is full of ideological interpretations. This is probably one of the bad influences he has on me. He believes that war-torn people, "once they fall asleep, they return to their childishness." This makes the protagonist Ivan look like a monster. So much so that when Laota responded, he felt that Sartre was only talking about ideology and forgot that the film was a work of art.
New Year approached. Plague puts everyone at risk. The film lives from 1962 to today. Many people today do not know how long they will live.
