peeping desire
Peeping is a sight that will not be returned to look back, and the peeping person tries to observe all the movements of the subject in an evasive or camouflaged position, with the aim of knowing everything. This line of sight is achieved in the film. By observing from the outside world, we learn the secrets of the character and deduce his inner world and desires from his every move. Privacy must not exist under broad scrutiny. Shameful acts may be reciprocated with outright disgust, or perhaps best understood.
In real social interaction, what people present to others is only intentional or only a part of it. A beautiful woman may indulge her beloved in the presence of her beloved, but may snore in the middle of the night when there is no one there. People have their own door, which is silently closed when crying, in order to hide the invisible picture behind the door, so as to avoid social death after the truth is revealed.
Secret, the word itself indicates the contradiction between privacy and publicity. Secrets are reasonable and even important and touching to those who hold them, but there are threats to the surrounding. Tomac's love was beautifully nurtured from the artistic life, hot passion, and smart imagination he had seen, but once this incident was revealed, he was just a voyeur with incomplete morals and was not worthy of sympathy. Therefore, a thing that defies the outside world but cherishes it is the basic definition of secret, and peeping is a silent gaze that quietly searches for secrets and never reports.
one-way crush
A crush gaze is a desire to hide. Once the desire is discovered, the object will fly away, so the desire can only observe the movements lurking underwater in a low-flying attitude. He cannot cast his eyes openly into the eyes of his subjects to display greed, but can only quietly place his thoughts in the interlacing of his mind. Therefore, his eyes are always directed towards the small gap between the closed doors, and the scenery exposed in the gap is allowed to be the object of his unrequited love.
sympathy in eyes
In the movie, Tomac was hurt because of Magda's heartache and tears, and then hurt himself. Not only does he approximate Magda's confidant, but he also learns the meaning of tears. Fragmental narration is not as good as panoramic viewing. It is more empathetic to friends and more concerned about familiarity, that is, it comes from long-term understanding and goes beyond narrowness.
true love
Tarkovsky said that true love exists in a bilateral relationship, and one-way love is not love. Some people say that one-way love does not integrate the emotions of the other party, but is just the narcissism caused by this party's own feelings. According to this saying, love grass, love animals, many times the emotion that cannot be answered is not true love, but can only be a broad concept of love, a kind of joy of staring.
I agree that unrequited love is not love, because love that is not recognized by the object of unrequited love lacks the most important witnesses, and it may be a unilaterally fabricated lie and illusion. In the movie, two people reveal their secrets, so the eyes of the two people in this mismatched love relationship meet. The unrequited lover still holds love, while the unrequited lover is only interested. Magda thinks that she is not worthy of Tomac's kindness, and that the truth she has not revealed will scare her love away, so she says that she is not worthy of Tomac's precious and intense passion, which is all illusion.
Tomac's sincerity was pierced by a bayonet, so this sacrificial love was confirmed by the pain of the real loss of life. Magda also understands that Tomac's love may be unbiased after containing her.
Love is to lose oneself, to give everything, and it doesn't matter if the other party destroys everything, because the object of that love is the incarnation of dignity higher than one's self. In that relationship, the two fully opened lives cherish and care for each other. Although the endless hurt to each other can prove the eternity of this love, they are unwilling to practice.
