Dreams, and those flying.

Arizona Dream, "Arizona sleepwalking", about people's dreams, and those flying like a swim. For two hours, I seem to have experienced half of a person’s life. This is not to say that it is lengthy, on the contrary, I like it too much, because I have never seen and felt such a rich emotion in a movie, full of childlike innocence and fullness. Cruel, illusory and real. there has never been. I don't think I can be satisfied with any other movies from now on.


What a wonderful thing are those flying in the sky-red balloons blown from the stomach of a fish (reminiscent of Albert Lamorisse's "Red Balloon"), halibut, an ambulance carrying the soul of Uncle Leo to the moon. . . Only the purest children can see it in their dreams, right? So, I guess, director Emir Kusturica must be a child too. In 1991, he portrayed the details of his pure dreams through the lens, so delicate, the child can smile with his heart. Today, the idea of ​​innocence is imitated, even if in a movie, when you see brighter balloons and more simulated fish flying gorgeously in the air, because of the lack of purity, it can no longer be inspired. Feelings and surprises. . .


I don't want to make extra comments on the content of the film. If you want to know, then go and watch it, alone, choose a quiet night, be prepared to laugh, and be prepared to be sad.

Arizona Dream quotes

  • Axel Blackmar: [last English lines] After the storm, I couldn't say life was beautiful. But all I kept hoping for was the Eskimo boy of my dream to run out of one of these doors and hug me. And even though I no longer felt like a fish and realized I knew nothing, I was happy to be alive.

  • Axel Blackmar: But what's the point of breathing if somebody already tells you the difference between an apple and a bicycle? If I bite a bicycle and ride an apple, then I'll know the difference.
