pursuit of beauty

This kind of appearance and temperament can really say a beautiful so so so beautiful from the bottom of my heart. I love you, love your face, love your temperament, love your beauty. I am willing to pursue beauty and give up life for beauty. I would like to stay in disease-ridden Venice to see you one more time. "What kind of road did I take?" A road that gave up life in pursuit of beauty. At the end of the film, Aschenbach sees Tazio heading into the depths of the sea with the sunset. He reached out his hand tremblingly, trying to reach the beautiful phantom, but finally collapsed weakly. Should he leave? No, if you leave the beautiful world, why should you die? "Silver Jiao" comes to mind. I always feel that the writer loves not only Yin Jiao, but also her youth and beauty. Yinjiao is just a carrier, carrying the writer's yearning for youth and beauty. Just like in this film, Tazio is also the embodiment of beauty. Tazio is beautiful, and so is the movie. Beautiful music, beautiful pictures. Background music runs throughout the film, a feast for the senses. The plot is no longer important, just for the pursuit of beauty. It's just a pity that the role of Tazio has made him an actor, and it has almost imprisoned him for life.

Such a smile, for me, everything

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.
