, and achieved it out of time. In addition, the protagonist's name is Maria is also a metaphor, which is the same name as the film sils maria. In fact, this place in Switzerland is the projection of Maria's state of mind. Val once said: "The script is only an object, and the view on it only projects the different angles of our perspective." In fact, this place in Switzerland plays this role. Why is it a mountain? Why did the director shoot the scenery of the mountain many times, because from different mountain peaks and different angles, they see different scenery, which is similar to the psychology of this movie. The problem is the same. Things are objective entities, and the only difference is the angle from which we look at the problem. In the old Chinese saying, it is "a ridge and a peak on the side".
The maloja snake is beautiful because of freedom, the kind of freedom that can walk and shuttle freely between different peaks, and it is a kind of freedom out of time. Maria initially suspected that Val was taking the wrong path, and she was unwilling to follow along, just as she had been unwilling to get out of the psychological shadow and kept herself trapped in a certain corner of the mountain; but when she walked to the top of the mountain, she looked at it from a new angle, I saw the legendary maloja snake, suggesting that her mood has changed and she has achieved freedom, so Val disappeared, and Maria's heart no longer needs to rely on her. The young sigrid is free, but the mature Helena can also achieve another kind of freedom, just like the maloja snake. Maria finally sees this.
These metaphors are exactly the fascinating part of this movie. It looks plain in the blink of an eye, but savored carefully, every detail is carefully arranged. It's like a cup of fragrant tea worth remembering. This is also what I think is better than "Birdman", "Birdman" is more technical and formal narrative, and this one is better than details.
