Most of the people who have read Nietzsche's life will deeply remember the biggest turning point and tragedy in his life. He saw someone whipping a horse that was unwilling to walk forward on the streets of Turin. Trapped in madness for ten years, until the end of life. No one knows and no one can guess what kind of shaking and destruction this profound thinker experienced in those short minutes, but the dramatic reality fable of this scene has left people countless contemplation and imagination. More than a hundred years later, director Beratar interprets what he understands about Nietzsche's philosophy of life with a highly allegorical film. In terms of form, the film is presented in black and white, and the long shots are rather dull. From the first scene of the father driving the carriage home, all the scenes in the following six days are concentrated around the father and daughter's cottage, and this house is like An island in the wilderness. In the film, multiple camera arrangements are used to show a very simple scene. For example, at the beginning, the father and the horse walk endlessly and endlessly in the wind. The complex movement of the camera makes the camera observe the person and horse in the wind from various angles. This scene lasted about four and a half minutes, and for the audience, there was also a trace of panic in the long waiting, which was almost tormented by patience. The camera stares at the monotonous scene for a long time, and this long period of time beyond the message to be conveyed by the picture forces the audience to think about the meaning beyond the image. There is not much dialogue in the film, the silence of the blockbuster is drowned in the whistling wind, and the soundtrack always repeats several monotonous melody parts. Perhaps the personal experience during the viewing process is also part of the content of the film, the monotony experienced by the audience. And boredom coincides with the despair and nothingness that destroys the will to life. In the film, the life of the father and daughter is recorded for six very symbolic days. At first glance, it seems extremely monotonous and long. The camera takes the trouble to show the repeated life of the two. This reproduction is so deliberate that in such a perspective Under these circumstances, ordinary life has become an almost religious ritual. In this way, the creator makes us feel very strongly and intuitively that this repetition until death is the normal state of life. The film connects six days with similar plots, but there are obvious changes every day, but this variation of life does not bring hope but leads to destruction. With the accumulation of ominous visions, the closed and repetitive life is destroyed. Tear open the bigger and bigger gap, and the rhythm becomes more and more urgent in perception, and in the repetition and change of the plot, the emotion also gradually advances to a climax. On the first day, when the father came home, the daughter led the horse into the stable with him, went back to the house, changed his clothes, boiled and ate potatoes, sat by the window and stared into the distance, turned off the lights and went to sleep. For the next five days, these behaviors were repeated The ground is shown in the camera, and it can be speculated that such days have probably passed countless days. Only this time my father said, "The wood borers are silent. I've been listening to them for fifty-eight years, and now I can't hear them." "They really stopped. What happened?" "I don't know, go to sleep." The changes on the first day are trivial. Although it is easy to detect, no one realizes what kind of misfortune this portends, and no one investigates deeply. This kind of neglect and indifference can be traced back to the cognitive limitations of the whole human being, and things will always come later. It has become obvious that the helplessness of human beings is always in hindsight. The next day, they got up, fetched water, ate potatoes, and prepared to drive the carriage out, but despite the rage and beatings of their father, the horse would not take a step forward. Animals are sharp before disaster strikes, while humans are always dull and unaware of what is coming. They reluctantly took the horses back to the stables, went back to the house to chop wood for laundry, and in the afternoon a friend came to buy wine from them, because the city was in ruins. His tirade at his desk is the longest dialogue in the film, and it's the part that directly expresses a thought-provoking point. "Everything is in ruin, everything has fallen, it is man's own judgment, his own judgment... They have to understand the fact that there is neither God nor God... Life force redefines the value of existence. But in the film, "there is no God, there is no God" in the people who buy wine is a negative interpretation. The father and daughter ignore all kinds of ominous signs and accept them. How many of them are fates that are powerless to resist? Depressed will with no desire to resist? After people get rid of traditional rules, it does not mean to obtain real freedom. After the collapse of the divine power they rely on, how can human beings rebuild the indestructible rock of faith and will? In many people's understanding, the old man who appeared the next day to buy wine implies the god of wine in Nietzsche's philosophy, and in his early works, he explained this spirit as obtaining from personal suffering and destruction and merging with the noumenon of life in the universe. Tragic intoxication, later refers to tragic intoxication from the absolute meaninglessness of life. Nietzsche's philosophical theory is positive and high-spirited. Although he admits the meaninglessness and nothingness of life, he also points out a way out for life: rebuilding the meaning of life on the ruins of the world and realizing its own value. But this "real nihilism" always means a potential threat, and once this positive nihilism is subverted, perhaps we will fall back into the fear of negative nihilism, as argued by Schopenhauer against Nietzsche , After smashing spiritual idols, people have a sense of meaninglessness and desertion in life. In the movie, this kind of "desert" is represented as a lonely house in the wilderness, as if isolated from the world, and after the horse refused to pull the cart and they failed to move away, the boundless barren besieged them here. In this monotonous and boring story, there will be a kind of fear immersed in the bone marrow that gradually begins to invade, whether it is the horse that began to resist but was unable to change his destiny in the Piazza Turin, or the human beings who were silently facing destruction. No matter what you choose, life is still like the stone of Sisyphus. What kind of despair destroys Superman's will? God is dead and Nietzsche is mad. Perhaps the only good thing is that most of us don't even touch or understand this despair, the ignorance of ordinary people is a protection and a shackle, ignorant and joyful, only one day, we accidentally He looked up into the distance, and suddenly realized that he was everything that was forbidden, "Our eyes are our prison, and where we look is the prison's walls." Afterwards, how can human beings rebuild the indestructible rock of faith and will?
