Time and space are intertwined, can one day be eternal? (When we surrender to time, this kind of conceptual theme of thinking about time and trying to master it is really touching.) Boys are exiles of space, and old people are exiles of time. If you think about it, Wild Strawberry and Babuban and Pain and Glory are all themes that look back on life from the perspective of the elderly. This one has a deeper focus on death and time, and is more tragic.
This eternal day is coming to an end, and the elderly mother staggers to the window where the white gauze is fluttering and calls Alexander to have dinner, echoing the beginning of the little Alexander playing by the sea. (again childhood)
Learning to love on the last day of life
The conversation between Alexander and the boy before he got out of the hospital before getting on the bus was also interesting. On the other side of the axis of life, you have to travel all over the port and the world. The fear of the unknown makes you cry together. One is the wandering without support, and the other is the death of loneliness and desertion.
And then there's the most surreal bit of bus roaming in Full Movie. See a very reasonable interpretation. "Two people got on the bus. The person wearing a yellow raincoat and riding a bicycle outside the window represents time. They are sitting at a constant speed, which shows that the objective time has never stopped. But the grandparents and grandchildren in the car have been smiling at each other. The little boy I opened the window and saw the ship that took him away, and the time inside the car turned into eternity. The man with the red flag, the couple who were in conflict, the band, and the poet appeared in sequence. The man with the red flag represented Alexander's youth, full of blood and full of enthusiasm. Passion, and he entered the car and began to fall asleep, symbolizing Alexander's inner exhaustion. The couple, the boy pursued the girl frantically, and the girl was obsessed with art, which represented the love of Alexander and Anna. The wonderful music played by the band symbolized the pursuit of Alexander The beauty of art. And the poet represents Alexander's ultimate pursuit, he wants to find his own answer by completing the poet's unfinished poem. But the poet just told him that life is sweet, but did not tell him the answer."
The poet's last recitation kind of hints that children are somehow the new future, generation after generation, time never stops.
In the last scene, Alexander loudly asked how long it would last tomorrow and got the answer one day longer than eternity. He turned his back to the camera and faced the sea. He was lonely and dying. Behind him was the call of his mother who traveled through time and space and lingered around the male protagonist's soul... !
Interlude is also soul!
