Journey with the Cross

Many people say that watching Tarkovsky will bring tears to my eyes. I regret that I do not have such sensitive and slightly crazy feelings. I admire Tarkovsky very much. It could be that his is what I think is one of the few masters (and Ingmar Bergman) who can speak to human metaphysics through the lens of film. I can't figure out the character of this master, but I have always been deeply moved by the master's sense of responsibility for mankind. In the body of this master, he has carried too many human crosses. In his works, there are concerns about human nature, people's concerns, and concerns about the future of mankind. There are more concerns about human beliefs. From the perspective of the process of industrial society, Tarkovsky put forward his ultimate view on "abandoning the gods". Especially in Nostalgia, the director tells about the journey of his life.
Tarkovsky is the most responsible director in my opinion. He once said in the engraving time: I was familiar with "War and Peace" when I was a child, which made my mind no longer contain garbage. Tarkovsky's obsession with art stems from this book. He has always maintained a high degree of vigilance about art. In his opinion, an artist is definitely not a "people who play with art", not a person who makes jokes about art. It's a real profession, a serious one, one that concerns the human soul, he mentioned: he doesn't like Spielberg, he's a good film director, but he's not an artist. Perhaps he was referring to Spielberg's lack of an attitude of caring about human values, despite being able to perform excellent films. This should be something everyone should learn.
I came from a film background, so I should be considered a half-academic, but from my personal point of view, many people during college did not follow the footsteps of art. I don't want to crave what others do, but at least people should show an attitude, especially as an artistic person. It's hard for me to imagine a human being who has lost his utopia. How is that different from George Orwell's "1984"? I think in contemporary China, what people lack more is a persistent personal belief, rather than material poverty. Today, how many people can live a prosperous spiritual life? From the perspective of movies, I have no qualifications or reasons to criticize Hollywood, but I have at least seen the impact of the Hollywood model on the Chinese people's market, and people are scrambling to say Watching in the cinema, constantly refreshing the box office, but knowing Tarkovsky, it can be said that it is pitiful.
I have always insisted that art is serious, and that human beings should adhere to a belief. Tarkovsky illustrates this well. Reading his poetic chapters, I feel a belief that I have never had before. However live. There was a sublime, passionate emotion at that time, "Why are there tears in my eyes, because of the depth of my love for this land." I felt this passion in the master's poem, which is a distant path No matter how dark the future is, human beings will always find their own light.
