When the poet and the female interpreter traveled halfway through Italy to find the Church of Our Lady in the opening chapter, he said: I am tired of the morbid beauty, just to find myself. At this time, he has been in self-isolation for a long time, and he is eager to find the reason and the method to break through the closed. The reason why the poet wanted to find the Notre Dame Cathedral was because he liked the picture "The Virgin in Childbirth", because his wife looked like the Virgin Mary in it, and her name happened to be Mary. The image of the Virgin also represents the mother. The author likes that painting because he misses his mother and wife in his hometown. From The Mirror, we can know that the images of mother and wife in Tarkovsky's mind are interlinked. In the dialogue between the hotel and the female translator, the poet said: Poetry is untranslatable, any art is untranslatable, and people of different nationalities cannot understand each other unless there are no borders. This is the source of the poet's self-isolation. Because of the cultural barriers in foreign countries, he cannot be understood by others, which leads to unfreedom of thought, thus forming the current self-isolation. And the solution is to go back to the hometown, where one's mind is free. Just like the maid who burned down the master's house in order to return to her southern homeland. But this method cannot be realized, just like a musician returns to the hometown he has been thinking about all the time, and later finds that things are wrong, the hometown in his heart is long gone, and finally he can only commit suicide by drinking alcohol, and the hometown of the poet is actually long gone. The female translators here try their best to discuss poetry, art, musicians with the poet... in order to integrate into his spiritual world, understand his heart, and lift his closure. Because of the first time I saw him, I was attracted to him by his melancholy and mystery. She had a dream: a multi-legged bug landed on her face, she tried her best to shake it down, but she couldn't step on it. That bug was her desire, and she wanted to ask for it, but she couldn't. The poet, in a dream, reunites her with his wife, and wants to make love to her, in order to lift the closure. But he failed, and his pregnant wife appeared in his bed the next second, shattering all his fantasies. What he pursues is spiritual freedom, and physical comfort cannot break the closure. As the female translator said: He is a saint, and he only loves the Virgin. When the poet meets the madman, he feels hope. Because he found that he and the madman were in the same spirit: the same closed, the same yearning for spiritual freedom. The difference is that the poet is a kind of self-closure, while the madman is the closure brought about by the real society. He understood why he kept his family at home for 7 years, because people in society were addicted to the material world, no longer pursued spiritual freedom, lost their beliefs, and the end of the world was about to come. He wants to protect his family. He went to the lunatic to find a way to lift the mental closure. The madman told him: He used to be selfish and only wanted to save his family, but now he wants to save everyone in the world. He also gave him that candle to light it to travel across the holy water - St. Catherine's Hot Springs. He is admonishing the poet to act in order to obtain spiritual freedom, and lighting a candle to cross the holy water is an act. As the priest said to the female interpreter in the Church of Our Lady: Only by kneeling can miracles occur. Faith is an expression of spiritual freedom. After the poet followed the lunatic into the house, he suddenly appeared from the right side of the screen to the left, and the lunatic disappeared. After the madman sent the poet away, the poet also suddenly disappeared. 1+1=1 is written on the wall. It shows that poets and lunatics are one body, and they both pursue spiritual freedom. From the letter that the female translator wrote to the poet's musician before his death, we learned that he did not return to his hometown because he missed the female slave, but because he felt that he had become a sculpture in Italy, and his thoughts were completely imprisoned. But after he returned to his hometown, he found that his hometown was no longer the one he remembered, and finally chose to commit suicide. The poet discovers that his hometown cannot save him, and he begins to drink heavily, in a Russian-style building. In the dream, he was on the dilapidated street again, and the ancient towering building was like a boundless prison imprisoning him. No matter how far he went, there seemed to be no end to it. He looked in the mirror, what appeared in the mirror was the musician's face, and at that moment he and the musician were connected across time and space in the soul. The madman delivered a speech on the main theme of "Thinking is Free" in the square, and alerted the world by self-fencing, trying to awaken their pursuit of spiritual freedom. But people were still bored spectators, unmoved by his death. At this time, Tarkovsky must be as desperate as a madman, burning himself, but unable to awaken any soul. The poet finally took the first step out of his self-isolation. He lit a candle, and after untold hardships, he was finally sent to the other side of the holy water. The haunting nostalgia still exists, because the hometown that I miss is no longer there, it only exists in my memory and dreams. My hometown is beautiful because I can't go back, and sad because I can't go back. Miracle. Faith is an expression of spiritual freedom.
