①Andrei Tarkovsky's 90th birthday/"You know, great romance is...no kisses, nothing, very pure, so that's what's great. Emotions...emotions that don't need words , is the most unforgettable.” ②1+1=1/ At the moment of staring at the mirror, the images of the poet and the madman overlap, reminiscent of Bergman’s “Masque.” At this point, the poet and the madman have completed the integration. The poet holds a candle and crosses the spring water again and again. "I understand you." Although the journey is difficult, there will always be someone who is willing to persevere and light the candle light. ③Castro-like The speech / The madman painfully proclaimed the prophecy of mankind with compassion for the world. However, if you are not still concerned about the world, how can you be so painful and care so much? With "Ode to Joy," the madman set himself on fire on the statue. The indifferent spectator's onlooker kills the remaining reason or idealism that lingers in the world. This reminds us of Solzhenitsyn, who accuses the country of violence, but does not want to never escape the identity conferred by his nationality. Maybe this is the reason why "nostalgia" troubles us. We can't escape our identity, because the desolate reality will always pull us back to our spiritual homeland... ④ The beauty of Tarkovsky's films is as always. The use of stacking, rolling, etc. to achieve scene conversion, the use of techniques is consummate. The repetition of music and even pictures is intentional by the director. I call it the "fugue" in the film. ⑤ "Poetry is untranslatable." (9.0/10)
