Please don't try to analyze the logic of the film and the metaphor of the picture with ordinary thinking when you watch it the first time .
That is destined to fail.
Of course, except for all Tarkovsky's images and texts, people who are already familiar with his life experience.
If you had small wooden houses in your childhood, large tracts of grass, a father who ran away, and a beautiful mother with a cold expression.
Well, congratulations.
You can enjoy the pleasure of emotional resonance in this film.
On the screen, it is not simply a reappearance of childhood, but also Tarkovsky's memory, the whole way of memory. From content to form. The broken, seemingly illogical narratives you see are all in the form of memories.
For example, when you are sorting out old things, you happen to see the textbook from junior high school, and
you open it and turn it page by page.
There will be countless memories, remembered again.
There are even many things in this memory that have little to do with textbooks.
"Why do I think of these things?" You may come back to your senses. With a silly smile, I asked myself.
This is that "Mirror" is
as complicated as our huge memory.
If you do not have the same cabin as I do not have grass
then maybe you can give up the endless exploration of the film's
why so difficult for yourself?
The original idea of the film is entirely dedicated to the mother.
"When I think that my mother will die, I can't accept it anyway. I will fight. I will prove that my mother is immortal."-Tarkovsky.
I think you just need to know that this is a film about sealing. A movie that has been remembered for a long time.
This memory may include childhood, mother, father, war, etc.
"Mirror" gave us a chance to walk into Tarkovsky's memory.
I would like to believe that what is on the screen is his expression of incomparable loyalty to his heart.
"Mirror" is monologue and highly self-conscious.
In another thirty years, maybe it won’t take that long to show
"Xiao Wu" to foreign children, or take a step back and show it to Chinese children.
They will whisper: Why is this person so 2? What's dangling?
I guess that even "2" will be thrown into the cannon fodder of time together. Buried deeply. deeply.
What will they say? 3 4 5 6 7 8 9?
An audience member wrote to Tarkovsky after watching the movie: "Thank you for the movie "Mirror", my childhood was like that...but how did you know? It's that kind of wind, that kind of thunderstorm..."
"Xiao Wu" and "Mirror" seem to be incomparable at all. But on some levels, they are all memories of a generation.
Finally
, I have to say that I really don’t understand "Mirror",
but I’m not ashamed of
it. Why is that memory yours
to me?
