The grief and helplessness on the deathbed, finally relieved

As always, the pictures and music are beautiful. If you look at it from a literary perspective, it is a poem rather than a novel. It has a structure, but it does not focus on the story. The scene kept flashing and flashing. When Alexander was dying, he recalled the past with too many regrets, reluctance and melancholy. Facing my mother, I think why do people experience pain; facing my wife, I have too much guilt, because I am immersed in my creation, I have little company with my wife, and I often travel far away, and my wife has many complaints; Poets who read, continue to write their own works, are in trouble. A child who escaped from a foreign country and came to Greece, met with him, and accompanied Alexander through the last day of his life. While watching the movie, I always think of "The Taste of Cherry" and "Father Trapped in Time". He will leave "tomorrow" (severely ill, terminally ill, and the doctor also said he is powerless), Alexander has to deal with a lot of things "today", such as his dog needs foster care, but his daughter and son-in-law obviously let him down, and the son-in-law does not like to see him So he had to leave it to the nanny. He kept walking into scenes from the past, with his old friends (wife and friends) by his side, and the movie didn't let a young man play it, just "walked in", but they appeared and disappeared, leaving Alexander behind. Much like a dramatic form of expression, "The Gaze of Ulysses" also jumps and leaps across history. The songs sung by the little boy are very poetic, but at the same time he faces a cruel reality - the situation in his hometown is turbulent, bandits are rampant, he becomes an orphan and escapes with a big partner, but he is kidnapped and controlled by the local triad, and finally he is a big boy. Playmates have misfortunes.

    Eternal sensual poetry. 1. Slowly push the long mirror from end to end to travel through time and space in a single panning shot, An Zhe's aesthetic formalization. 2. Creeping corpses on the power grid at the border and a bicycle convoy in yellow raincoats. 3. How long will it last tomorrow? It is both a day and eternity. 4. Lonely Words Buy Words Poorly-Kofra, Exile, Late Night. 5. Time is a child, playing sandbags at the beach. 6. The cremation of Sellin, weeping in the ward, the bus band, eternal in the fleeting. (9.5/10)

    Warm up. Looking at the ascetic coffee shop with Dengshe friends (located on the 6th floor of the commercial building, the interior is made of Nordic wooden tables and chairs with gray and black stone brick walls, there is a whole bookcase, and there is an old Yamaha piano in the corner, planted with ficus leaves and iron wires fern). One of the participants was an aunt who was in her 60s. She talked about how her 90-year-old mother received a critical illness notice every time she was sent to the hospital. She came to know her attitude towards death and "what is eternity", just like the old poet in the movie. question. "The inspiration for the film came from my own aging," Anzhe said. At the end of the film, the old poet prayed to the sea with three words: Korfulamu: the happiness of a child in the arms of a mother in Greek. Xenitis: means an outsider in a historical situation. Argathin: refers to a state of time, meaning "twilight, late twilight". The lyrical language is also joined by young Albanian boys abandoned after the Balkan geopolitical game, who witnessed a microcosm of modern Greek history on the bus. And then: snow-covered peaks, loud bells, and I wish I could hear you talk about those ports and that vast world.

Eternity and a Day quotes

  • Alexandre: Why, mother, nothing happens as we wish? Why? Why does one have to rot in silence torn between pain and desire? Why did I live my life in exile. Tell me mother, why can't one learn to love?

  • 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.
