"Sirs Maria"-Freedom is the transcendence of time and the call to the inner.

After watching "cloud of siris maria" twice, I feel that I can understand the movie more deeply. The first time I watched the movie, I felt that the film was more like a piece of dialogue, but in fact the whole film was the epitome of the drama "Maloja Snake". Maria, a dead star who played sigrid 20 years ago, is experiencing the loss and annoyance caused by the divorce and the passing of wheilm, and was invited again to play the role of helena in "Maloja Snake". Helena's character is the opposite of Sigrid, the former is aging, negative, and anxious due to time and trivial troubles; on the contrary, the latter is young, seductive, and courageous. Maira, who played Sigrid 20 years ago, is now facing the blow of the 40-year-old Helena, but in fact this blow is not just from the drama itself, it is also the flow of time. The passing of time brings about aging, change and heaviness. In the movie, "Maloja The presentation of the drama "Snake" is mostly reflected in the practice dialogue between Maria and her personal assistant Val. The young, beautiful, brave and fearless Val showed the role of Sigrid from the side, who just seemed to be more suitable for this era on the surface. Therefore, whether it is Maria in the drama or Maria in real life, her identity is Helena. She must experience the aging, separation, pain and trivial troubles brought about by the passing of time. When Maria talked to director Klaus for the first time in the film, she talked about thinking that Sigrid is a free person, a person who transcends time; and the reason why Helena is attracted by Sigrid is precisely because of Sigrid’s freedom; because Helena is right. It's the poor man who is entangled in all kinds of things of karmic nature. When she talked about Sigrid, she seemed contented, with an inexplicable sense of pride. But when the director told her that Sigrid became the Helena who committed suicide because of herself 20 years later, Maria did not accept this. What's interesting is that at the end of the movie, Maria accepted an invitation from a science fiction film director to star in a mutant. Among them, the director's words are worth pondering. He said that Maria's role is beyond time, so age does not have a bad influence on this role. Not only that, as far as he is concerned, he does not want to live in this age bombarded by mass media and information. The director's words correspond exactly to what Maria calls freedom, and freedom is beyond time. People cannot choose their own time, so people will not be free after all. Freedom does not mean being young and unruly. Freedom means being able to survive well in the face of limitations, reaching infinity in finiteness.
The one that shocked me the most in the movie was "Maloja Snake", which is the "Maloja Cloud". At first I couldn't understand why the director wanted Yun to connect with this young lost actress Maria. But a line of Val caught my attention. She said that for many things, you stand at a different angle, and you see different phenomena. It is precisely because in Maria's eyes, Helena's role is a fateful misfortune-abandoned by Sigrid, troubled, painful erosion, etc., so she can only see a poor old woman Helena. However, outside of this role, Val can see more of Helena's advantages: she is responsible, tolerant and more humane, etc. This is because the young Sigrid brought by external time has no advantages: All Sigrid has is pride and cruelty that exist inexplicably because of his youth. Of course, what cannot be denied is that Sigrid is more courageous and fearless, this kind of excellent quality is not Maria. Therefore, the phenomenon presented by things is only a refraction of people's vision. People stand at different angles and observe different contents; not only that, the phenomena of things themselves relative to things are also endless. But this does not mean to understand in a negative sense: people cannot exhaust things; but in a positive sense, it should be understood as: people have unlimited possibilities of exhausting things. Just like the cloud of Maloja, it is ever-changing, gathering and separating, no matter how it emerges, it is the cloud of Maloja after all. Mystery is mystery, because it is not controlled by time, it is beyond time: it can sometimes be young and old, sometimes tall and short, sometimes it is a woman, sometimes it is a man... So Maria can also be back then It's Sigrid, and now it's Helena. Everything is just unpredictable. As the last director said, people cannot choose their own age, just as people cannot choose their own age. Time cannot be chosen, but heart can be chosen: 20 years ago she was Sigrid, 20 years later she can still be Sigrid. The human spirit is unpredictable, and even the passing of time cannot be destroyed.

    Discuss the mid-life crisis of women and the passage of time. The Twilight Girl won the Caesar Award for Best Supporting Actress, and Binoche's performance is excellent. She plays a triple text that forms reality/film/drama. The interweaving of the past and the present is both true and fantasy .Many metaphors bring a broad space for interpretation. Photography and classical music are great, but the rhythm is a little dull. Also as a play within a play, this film lacks the subtle form and dark humor of "Birdman", but it is a little more detached and harmonious. Acceptance of Self. (8.5/10)
