1. Professor Su Mu's homework led me to watch this film
2. The man drives the carriage home, the end of the day is the beginning of the film
3. The woman undresses the man, the woman dresses the man, the man undresses himself, the woman Wear your own clothes...
4. The camera is facing the man and eating potatoes, the camera is facing the woman and eating potatoes, the camera is facing the center line of the dining table and the man and the woman are eating potatoes...
5. The woman sits by the window and meditates. The man sits by the window and meditates. The man sits by the window and meditates, the woman sits by the other window and meditates together...
6. The woman sits by the window and meditates, with an empty chair next to it and a portrait on the wall, which seems to be the woman's mother
7. The hustle and bustle outside the window It forms a strong contrast with the tranquility of the room, and also makes a plausible reason to turn back halfway.
8. The whole film is black and white, and there is no color scheduling, so that the composition becomes the only element of the beauty of the film.
9. Symmetrical composition, golden ratio composition, Tic-tac-toe composition
10. So the whole film is actually about Gypsies, does it really bring bad luck?
11. The climax of the two plots is the wine buyer & the gypsies, and the rest are all the boring daily life of father and daughter
12. The woman is washing clothes, the man hangs the clothesline without a word, and the woman hangs up the clothes without a word after washing Clothes, the tacit understanding that flows between the two is also very depressing
. 13. Finally, the sunlight disappeared and the alcohol lamp did not light up. It seems to be an analogy, alluding to some social phenomenon.

    Why is the wind more ruthless, my heart is more and more delusional, like a speck of dust, dancing wildly with the wind, I have to hold my hands firmly, but the courage that drifts away, I will become a giant, step on the strength, step on the dream, and walk in the direction of the wind blowing Blow, my pride, indulge, blow, don't ruin my pure garden, let the wind blow, let it be messy

    Pathetic music + lots of action + long shots with fixed camera + philosophical dialogue. The film tells the six-day life of a father and daughter. Although the actions are repeated, a proposition is introduced every day, destruction, war, escape, return, religion, and the death of despair. The final long shot of gnawing on raw food has a strong sense of religious suffering. As a symbol, the horse also represents people.

The Turin Horse quotes

  • Bernhard: Theirs is the moment... nature, infinite silence.

  • Narrator: In Turin on the 3rd of January 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Albert, perhaps to take a stroll, perhaps to go by the post office to collect his mail. Not far from him, the driver of a hansome cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver - Giuseppe? Carlo? Ettore? - loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene caused by the driver, by this time foaming at the mouth with rage. For the solidly built and full-moustached gentleman suddenly jumps up to the cab and throws his arms around the horse's neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words "Mutter, ich bin dumm!" and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, under the care of his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse.
