Our encounter was too short

"Soul Broken Venice", I have only watched half of it. Abassensha is right. Time is like an hourglass. When the time passes and the time begins to flow, there is no change in the sand. Unconsciously, when the sand is about to leak out, it is discovered that the original time has all passed. . When a man approaching old age stretches out his hand and speaks like this in a low voice, you will completely believe his feelings, and you will feel the pain deeply.



The change of time is silent, but it drives the youth into old age. When Abassensha saw that Takio in a white sailor suit, the feeling was really heart-wrenching - the 15-year-old Takio was so beautiful and amazing, the lines on the side were like forged by God himself. To the world, that kind of childishness and temptation between a child and a teenager - but I am old and can only sit like an old man, only the hot eyes can follow.



Farewell in front of the restaurant, Takio's short glance back and smile can really make this old man split in half, half of his reason told him to continue to leave, half of his suppressed passion called him to stay, he told himself: Takio, Our encounter was too short, God bless you.



I don't feel obscene at all, but I feel that the struggle of this old man is very pitiful. In front of absolute beauty, we can only bow down and worship forever. Takio, the most beautiful boy in the world, makes people want to grope carefully, makes people want to kiss every line of his face, makes people stare deeply, just look at him. Eyes wandering, smiling slightly, running happily, his beauty is like a dazzling light that illuminates the ignorant world, as if he was an angel who strayed into the mortal world, not owned by this mediocre world.



In front of such beauty, one can't help but feel ashamed, and one can't help but sigh: Why couldn't I meet this young man when I was young? Only with absolute youth, a fresh body, and a fearless drive, can one dare to approach such a beauty, and will not feel very wretched.



And I am old. Although I am not as old as Abassenshah, I have lost the courage to look at such a beautiful woman like him.



Can't help but feel dejected and regret watching this movie.

Death in Venice quotes

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: I remember we had one of these in my father's house. The aperture through which the sand runs is so tiny that... that first it seems as if the level in the upper glass never changes. To our eyes it appears that the sand runs out only... only at the end... and until it does, it's not worth thinking about... 'til the last moment... when there's no more time left to think about it.

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: You know sometimes I think that artists are rather like hunters aiming in the dark. They don't know what their target is, and they don't know if they've hit it. But you can't expect life to illuminate the target and steady your aim. The creation of beauty and purity is a spiritual act.

    Alfred: No Gustav, no. Beauty belongs to the senses. Only to the senses.
