"Eternity and a day"

finally watched "Eternity and a day" completely from beginning to end, and it is a big screen, which is really a blessing.

His eyes moved slowly with Angelopoulos' poetic lens, and his heart was also awakened softly. His emotions accumulated bit by bit, and he couldn't help himself. Leaving the dark space, the inner joy is the joy of encountering the great mind.

Angelopoulos' understated cinematic language, Eleni Karaindrou's poignant, almost heart-stopping melody, gave me a few moments of glimpses of eternity.

Angelopoulos is too great and too rich. On the way home, I told my friends that if I had the chance, I would watch Eternity and a day again, so that Angelopoulos could nourish his soul.

    106/100, the lingering poet is looking for the meaning of life in his last days, and the reality and reality intertwined by long shots are the unease of his life. You wandering people, you give up everything to pursue the bitter fruit called nostalgia, but it is a dream bubble after all. You think you have caught the firefly that represents life, but you are just the dust that shares the same illness with yourself. Dissipate, dissipate, pass away in this eternal day, the frankincense of wives and mothers waits in that "tomorrow", leaving only the wandering yellow-clothed people still hesitating silently.

    Black and white, gray-brown, green, blue and yellow, a speechless and vicissitudes of tomorrow, only time is eternal, wearing a gray-blue coat, walking through the black crowd, looking for a white beach, pulling the blue sea into the beach to play, let the salty sea breeze blow the gray-white beard , a dog that can no longer be taken care of, an old mother, a wife with black polka dots and white clothes, a dim yellow street lamp, a bright yellow child and three drivers with their heads bowed.

Eternity and a Day quotes

  • Alexandre: My only regret, Anna - but is it only one? - is to not have finished anything. I left all as a draft, shattered words here and there.

  • Alexandre: All passed by so quickly. This suspect pain... my stubbornness to want to learn,to want to know... then the darkness... the silence around me... the silence. All made me believe that before the end of winter with the ethereal silhouettes of the boats,and their sudden breakthroughs in the sky, with the lovers along the promenade,in the declining sun, and the hypocritical promise of the spring, all made me believe that before the end of winter... My only regret, Anna... but is it only one?... is not to have finished anything. I left it all as a draft, shattered words here and there.
