When night falls,
where are the slightly shining wings behind me, I am the
candle, which perishes in the feast.
After dawn, please clean up the tears of the candle
and read from it who is worth sorrow
...
under the temporary eaves
how to be after death , To light up the front with poems
... Reading
only these poetic sentences is enough to make people admire Tarkovsky's "Homesickness". Only by transcending the obscure images of the film and immersing in the simple and far-reaching homesickness can one feel the charm of Homesickness.
A Russian poet, Gorchakov, came to Italy to collect information and write opera scripts. Gorchakov met the madman Domenico on the way. Domenico set himself on fire after preaching to the world in Rome. According to their agreement, Gorchakov walked through the dried-up sacred pool with a candle in his hand. After reaching the end, he was finally exhausted.
The film is immersed in metaphorical scenes and mysterious dialogue from beginning to end. There is no coherent plot, no logical clues. If the audience treats "Nostalgia" with their previous expectations of the movie, they will either leave halfway through or they will be exhausted. Tarkovsky didn't care about the viewer's usual viewing habits, he was indifferently immersed in his homesickness. He said: "I am not interested in the development of the plot and the chaining of events-I think one of my films does not require a plot more than one." In front of the tough Tasman, the audience who likes this film must do That is: sinking into your heart, and temporarily letting the plot and logic fade away in the hypnotism of Tasmanian. In fact, this is not very difficult, because almost every shot of this film has the heavy and beautiful beauty of an oil painting. Whether it is the color transition between the lush Italian landscape and the silent tones of the Russian countryside, or the looming candlelight, that chant that seems to float from the sky, it slowly makes people far away from the modern hustle and bustle and plunged into the original nostalgia .
Tarkovsky was not afraid that the audience would walk away. Those who walked away were not his audience. If you are a Takovsky audience, you will never face the eight-minute shot of Gorchakov holding a candle through the dried-up sacred pool and yawning, but you will only be amazed at how Tarkovsky can The lens is used so smoothly. You will wait for Gorchakov to walk through the dried up sacred pool with candles in his hand, and hold his breath like Gorchakov in this eight-minute shot. Eight minutes is a test, a religious ritual.
Tarkovsky, in exile, originally wanted to "make a film about Russian homesickness", "I want to use this film to illustrate the Russians’ national roots, their past, their culture, and their native land. , The fateful attachment of their relatives and friends; the kind of attachment that they will carry throughout their lives no matter what fate they are subjected to." Russians are more "difficult to assimilate" and "unacceptable" than other nations. The bluntness of the exotic way of life." But Ta's film shows that it is far more than the homesickness of a nation. Those metaphors have overflowed the originally set boundaries. The fate of human beings, the sorrow of life, and the loneliness of pursuing the light of spirit, before the camera where Ta's disdain to express it in words, the audience will slowly fall into a classical style. The heaviness is a kind of heaviness that modern people have no time to take into account. Such nostalgia is expressed in Tarkovsky’s "Sculpting Time": "Depicting a person in a situation where he is deeply alienated from the world and himself, unable to find a balance between reality and the harmony he desires. Because of traveling abroad and yearning for a complete existence, he fell into a state of homesickness.”
Tarkovsky’s existential proposition in the film has obvious metaphysical implications. This metaphysical meaning maintains the weight of sinking into the earth consistent with Russian traditions. However, life is so heavy in the world that even Russians can't stand it. At this time, spiritual salvation can only be achieved through the mother's metaphor. Mother, she is the warmest relative who brought us to this world. Tasman can only use the image of a mother to redeem his spirit and ascend to heaven. This is also the most important reason why he dedicated this film to his mother.
Mom, the air is so clear, hovering above your head, and when you smile, they will clarify...
