First record a little poem from a movie you like: "Yesterday, I started waiting early in the morning, and they guessed that you won't be coming.
Remember what a wonderful day it was, it was as sunny as a holiday, I don’t have to wear a coat
Today, you came, but the weather was sad and dim, raining, and it was late.
On the cold branches, the rain was flowing, the words were difficult to soothe, and the Fangpa could not be dried. "
Tarkovsky once defended "Mirror" by saying: "If two people can experience the same thing, even if only once, they will be able to understand each other, even if one of them lived in the Paleolithic age and the other It grew up in the age of electrification. God has empowered mankind to understand and appreciate the common impulses of mankind-including one's own and other people's."
This is my favorite author's movie at the moment. From the incomprehensibility when I first watched it, to the later time, I was slowly moved by it. It is too pale to interpret the movie as "apologize and regret to the mother" alone, and even the comments on this movie in any language are too pale. Maybe I couldn't fully understand every sentence of Tarkovsky's words, but in this dream and short more than 100 minutes, I felt all the touch, despair and talk of a passionate soul to life. Every tear I shed in my life can find the answer in his lens, and all I can do is sit in the patter of rain and let the quiet flame wet my eyes.
1. Mother Maria
Such a strong person has never cried and choked, only silently weeping. She shed tears when accused, shed tears when she missed, and shed tears when she saw through the cycle of time and life.
But whenever the world began to tremble, when the world in Tarkovsky's eyes began to burn, and began to melt with heartbreak, when sadness and despair wrapped her like melted milk, she never shed tears. She laughed, she felt it quietly in the smoke, she watched stubbornly and coldly, while looking through the autumn water, waiting for a destined fruitless. When she was forced to take the cock, her vulnerability and humiliation reached its peak, and even the house behind her began to cry. But her Kubrick stare pierced everything fiercely. She stared at the husband in her memory or in her imagination, who might have never been so gentle to her in reality, the love, happiness and life of her life. Sorrow starts from this face and ends mercilessly here. Besides, everything is just a passing moment. He is pure and naked, caring for himself floating: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine"
She said: "It's a pity that I can only see you in pain."
She said the phrase "Don't worry, I love you" to someone who no longer exists.
2. "360-degree backward turn"
The teenager who insists that there should be a 360-degree turn backwards makes people want to laugh, but laughs ridiculously and shed tears with him. I don't know how a character like this should be interpreted instead of real existence, just like I don't understand why the stroke of Tarkovsky's lens can be blown up properly, and why the sun can shine just right. Everything is real, so it feels heartbreaking.
"What is the shooting range?"
Yes, what is a shooting range, what is a gun, and what is a bullet?
The person I love has lost his life in the war, when I still don’t understand what a war is.
3. Regret
"When I think about my childhood and my mother, it seems that my mother always has your face.
But I know the reason. I pity you, you and her. "
Memories are always fuzzy, maybe never true.
Regret is inevitable, and everything I do now will make me regret it later. If regret is a sin, then life itself is a huge mistake. But memories seem to be for regret, just as life seems to be for pain.
Tarkovsky is fortunate. He can slowly tell the audience about his memories and dreams, tell them to himself, tell his mother, and let his mother walk slowly in the image and accept this late arrival. Feel sorry.
Can I? My mother, my grandmother, maybe I will never know my regrets and regrets for them in my whole life, every time I lose my temper and don't understand, I miss the time I spend with them. Just like I understand them now, will they understand me? Will they forgive me, and will they forgive themselves?
4. Happiness
The mirror is used to examine, but also to temporarily escape. While the mirror brings hope, it extinguishes illusions.
In the minds of visionaries, the mirror is the passage of time and space. Didn't Tarkovsky say that when everyone is happy, time no longer matters?
Perhaps in the eyes of higher-dimensional lives than ours, our time is after all a concept, not gone forever, but connected to the past with reality through a mirror. When we really get happiness, can it be so? At that time, time is no longer a knife, the scars we cut on each other can be recovered, and our memories will no longer have regrets, because memory is reality, and we can see through the cycle of time. We are free to go back to ourselves who made decisions in the past, and tears in our eyes when we learn the truth about the future. But we still choose not to change, because we have already reaped happiness.
Maria, who had just become a mother, shed tears when her husband asked whether she wanted a boy or a girl, because at this moment she became a wise man who saw through the cycle of time and space. She saw her old self walking slowly on the grass, and she saw her child. She saw the hardships of her life, and saw that the man in her arms would leave her. The reason for all this was that she finally chose to reconcile with everything, chose to forgive, and sent a signal to herself in the distant past.
In the end, "Life is a tearful smile."
Is our requirement of happiness too high, or is happiness itself just a fantasy?
