Silence Their silence moves their movement: the water in the bucket has no ripples, the materials stacked there never move, the vast sky is endless, and the wooden fence surrounds the building under construction... What breaks the silence is to walk by. The person of is the wind that has blown, the car that has been driven, the ant crawling on the tree, but even if it is broken, it is still silent: the water in the bucket flows outwards, and enters the small waterway together with the paper floating on it. ；Flying by an airplane in the sky, and then several airplanes, the gas emitted from their tails formed parallel lines; the balcony of a corner of the building on the opposite side was empty at first, and then a couple stood there, watching Far away...
The space is changing, but it seems that nothing has happened: the car passed by quickly, leaving an empty street; the paramedic pushed the stroller forward slowly, leaving behind an empty square; the carriage pulled by and sat. A person's car, passing by that road, there is no other than the sound of hoofing horses. The time is changing, but like a normal day, there is no ups and downs: the night is slowly covering, the street lights gradually turn on, the bus stop at the corner is brighter than other places, and it seems that no one passes by. From here to there, from dusk to night, silence their silence, moving their movement, as if the time is elsewhere, as if the city is elsewhere.
From 1 hour 58 minutes 07 seconds to 2 hours 05 minutes 06 seconds, seven minutes, it is a long empty shot, but it is not completely empty. There are women waiting for the bus, men getting off the bus, and others. The woman from the back, the old man with the face close-up, of course, the nursing staff and the baby, the man on the carriage, and the couple on the balcony, he and him, she and her, or he and her, she and him, Or maybe it's just her, the "they" he—composed of are independent, alienated, and no longer intertwined with each other, just like static objects and moving trajectories there, they become a certain landscape in the empty lens.
The woman with her back, if she doesn’t turn around, looks like Victoria, but it’s not; if the man who got out of the car doesn’t show facial expressions, looks like Piero, it’s just a resemblance, just an illusion, returning In the narrative of the empty shot, it adds a sense of alienation: Where did Victoria go? Where did Piero go? The station is at the corner of the wooden fence. Some people get on the bus and some get off, but they never wait for Victoria or Piero to get on the bus. It seems to be empty, and the building wrapped in special materials should be constructed on it. , But it becomes an unfinished state in the empty shot, extending away, it is an uncertain dazed...
The alienated person, the empty object, the blank time, the seven-minute empty shot, is a kind of depression, but when the last street lamp turns into a dazzling light, as if the sun is in the sky, did it turn into More intense stimulation? And this is exactly the meaning conveyed by the title of "eclipse": an astronomical phenomenon, from the gradual disappearance of the sun being covered by the moon, to the recovery from the dazzling sun, the whole process is an "eclipse"-and in seven minutes Behind the empty lens, in that dazzling light, how can the moon break free? It seems that it is still in the process of "eclipse", and there seems to be no sign of ending, alienation, blankness and emptiness, or just "eclipse" without ending.
And from the seven-minute empty shot, looking back, it seems that the whole movie is in such a state. When the empty shot starts, it ends in another state, 1 hour, 58 minutes, and 07 seconds, which is the shot looking up. Victoria slowly walked out of the camera, so she left the branches of the cedar, and further forward, Victoria came out of Piero’s apartment: she said “it’s too late” and opened it. At the door, Piero hugged her tightly at the door. She seemed to have accepted the last kiss and pushed him away, and then walked slowly down the stairs. One went down, and the other went back to the house; one hesitated to step forward, occasionally stopping on the stairs, one quickly went back to the house, and then put all the dropped phones back to the original place; one hesitated when walking to the door, and finally quickly Leaving, one didn’t pick up when the phone rang... Victoria finally walked out the door, as if to escape from something. She started running and accidentally bumped into a woman passing by, and then she stood under the cedar. Standing quietly, opposite the unfinished building, opposite the wooden fence, afterwards, she raised her head and left the camera, so the empty camera became the last way to look at the world.
Leaving, leaving after the last kiss, hesitating to leave, leaving after hitting someone, and leaving completely disappeared from the camera. For Victoria, leaving this time seems to be the last parting. Those empty shots are inverted. It became a ritual of leaving, things were things, but no one was there anymore—the wooden fences used to be the place where they first kissed. At that time they passed by Marta’s house, and Victoria let go of a balloon, and then Said to Marta on the balcony, "Shoot it." The bullet fired from Marta's gun caused the balloon to burst in the air. Victoria told Piero that they had shot and killed elephants in Africa. Then the two walked over to the wooden fence, Piero said: "When you get there, I will kiss you." Piero first walked to the wooden fence, and then turned around. Victoria didn't seem to come forward anymore, Piero. Stepping out again, the wind was blowing the leaves at that time, so Victoria finally turned to Piero, and the two finally kissed.
Yes, this is almost the first kiss between them, full of ritual, but in this ceremonial kiss, Victoria always thinks of something, she said: "I should go." So they Separate. The kiss agreement is a ritual, and separation becomes a ritual. Because of the ritual, it seems to be a definite process, but it contains too many things outside of nature. Is it love between Victoria and Piero? It’s not love at first sight, nor love for a long time, but in constant encounters, it has become a fact: in the stock exchange, Victoria just walked in because she was looking for her mother. She was at odds with the noisy and crazy atmosphere there, and Piero As a staff member, I am involved in it. Then Piero told him that someone had lost 5 million. Victoria followed that person. The man bought Valium tablets. After drinking the medicine, he left a piece of paper on the table. Victoria picked it up and painted flowers of different shapes on the paper. , To Piero, he seemed to dismiss it, and later threw it away; when we met again, Victoria asked Piero, where did the lost money go? Piero told him some common sense of stocks, it seems that Victoria does not understand this.
But that time, Victoria took Piero to her home. In the frame of the frame was the father. Victoria said: "Mom has no father in her heart, and I don't remember him anymore." This is a certain lack of family, as a mother. Now that I am keen on stocks, it is actually a manifestation of alienation. The mother who enters and exits the exchange regards making money as the number one priority, so Victoria said: "The thing my mother fears most is poverty." That time when Victoria lay down and slept. When Piero was sitting there on her little bed, he leaned down, trying to give her a kiss, but Victoria avoided it. This was the first time Del Piero said it, but it turned into a rejection. One night after that, Piero went to Veroria. In the room, Veroria saw Piero, but deliberately hid behind the curtains. When a drunk passed by and saw Victoria, she finally appeared in the skin. In front of Hierro, Piero was about to go upstairs, but his car was driven away by a drunk. It was Piero’s car that was salvaged from the river the next day. The drunk died in it; it was the first place in the wooden fence. After the second kiss, they met again, but it was Victoria who came first. Piero was 15 minutes late. Piero told Victoria that he had bought a new car. Victoria saw a man passing by and said, "This man is so handsome. "After that, they went to Piero’s apartment, Piero took out the chocolate, opened the box but it was empty, the two laughed, and then they kissed through the iron door, and Piero went through the iron door. Coming over there, I kissed Victoria for the first time, but Victoria was still resisting—the strap of the dress finally broke. Victoria put one hand on the strap, and then closed the door to sew it. Then she saw She found a pen on the table that could allow women to undress and become naked. She saw the pictures of the Piero family hanging on the wall. She opened the window and saw the nuns and soldiers passing by underneath. So she dressed vigilantly, but Piero did. Entered through another door, then hugged her, and the two lay down on the bed...
Knowing because of entering and exiting the stock exchange, two people are always separated by something. The curtains at night, the cold iron gate, the late appointments, and others passing by seem to be an obstacle. Even if they embrace, they The intimacy is not thorough. One Piero asked her if she didn’t want to marry herself. Victoria said, “I never thought about getting married.” Then he said, “As long as you love each other deeply, you can understand.” In fact, she never wanted to marry herself. One angle denied the definite marriage, and even reminded herself that they did not love each other deeply at all, "I hope I never loved you, or love you more." Victoria seems to put herself in a contradictory world, hoping I didn't fall in love with him, and I hope to love him more, but this contradiction is the same at a deep level: behind every hope is a reality without true love.
Because there is no deep love, so I want to love deeply, because I want to love deeply, so there is no deep love at all. This is Victoria’s dilemma, but for them, this half-hearted love itself has too many differences. Victoria said that the exchange is like a fighting arena. In her opinion, it is completely irrational for the people in it to be so crazy. And Piero is not only used to this rhythm, but also put all his passion into it, whether it is rising or falling. He never seems to try to stay away, so in a sense, Piero is more concerned with direct benefits, like his car is stolen, drunk is drowned, he thinks more about the car body is not too good After much damage, I rushed to buy a new car. When getting along with Victoria, he put all the telephones in the room in an unreachable state, and when Victoria left, everything resumed as before—Victoria hesitated on the stairs, or what he was waiting for, but what was the last No, the two people still return to their respective lives, so in the end, there are only hollow shots of emptiness, blankness and alienation, which are very much like their lives and their love.
Victoria's hesitation, wandering, and sighing seemed to be a kind of uncertainty. When she broke up with Ricardo, it also seemed to be uncertain about love. Ricardo asked her: "Do you want to get married?" Victoria Say: "I don't know." Ricardo asked again: "When did you not love me?" Victoria's answer was still: "I don't know." But when Ricardo asked, "Is there another man? "Victoria said clearly: "No." Not knowing that it points to a loss, while "No" points to a certain kind of firmness in feelings, whether it is calling the exchange a "fighting field" or saying "deep mutual Love can understand each other", Victoria’s certainty is the certainty of herself, and in love, what she has to face is also herself. She likes nature, loves passion, and likes to put herself in an unobstructed world: she She will transform into a Kenyan woman to the music of African drums, and dance passionately in Marta’s room; she will fully immerse herself in the plane flying high, "Let’s fly into the clouds." Provided by Africa and Sky There is another empty place, where there are no constraints, no obstacles, no troubles of gains and losses. Back to reality, there are only noisy and crazy exchanges, only conspiracy theories in people's mouths, only sports cars that are more important than life, and endless phone calls.
The moonlight concealed by the sun actually lost herself in the dazzling world. The final completion of the "eclipse" state is to recover, to find herself, so when she started out of the camera in Victoria, she seemed to have started a new search, looking for something. It is deep love, what is understanding, what must be left, and when all the encounters and interlacing in the empty lens are absent, it is actually waiting for a beginning that is no longer empty: buckets, buildings, wooden fences, sky , The station, the people passing by, they are all they are, they all become themselves in position, they all know their own movement and silence, they all love and understand the world deeply.
