like a dream "I once had a motherland,
she is so beautiful: the
oak tree is tall and strong, the violet is gentle and charming.
She has passed away like a dream."-Heine "Exoticism"
1914 On June 28, 2015, Serbian nationalist Gavrillo Principe assassinated Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and his wife. A total of seven bullets were fired from his gun. The couple killed them on the spot. The political conspiracy that took place in the Balkans caused the whole world to tremble. The original situation in Europe was already at war after the bombing in Sarajevo. This time it was on the verge of triggering the First World War. 1.5 billion people in 38 countries have fallen into the nightmare of war artillery. Countless people have lost their homes and are forced to flee their homeland and embark on a journey of no return.
For nearly a hundred years since then until today, the world has been shrouded in the haze of wars of all sizes: World War II, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Afghanistan War, Iraq War, and so on. Just as the sun plunged into the hell of the North Pole, people can only watch the bustling Valkyrie goddess in Norse mythology, traveling in the sky filled with smoke, constantly pointing to those who are destined to die in battle, and taking their undead with them. go. The German physicist Albert Einstein and the Hungarian conductor Solti both fled to the United States for avoiding the war. Countless more ordinary refugees have experienced difficult fleeing, including the refugees in the Iraq War that broke out in 2003. It reached 2.2 million. Filmmakers have never stopped shooting films reflecting on war, such as "No War on the Western Front", "Thin Red Line", "Apocalypse Now", "Field Platoon", etc., but the pace of war has never been stagnant because of this. .
Following the 1997 film "Life Is Beautiful" describing the World War II concentration camps that moved the world, Italian national treasure director Roberto Bernini brought another movie "Love Is Beautiful" with the Iraq War as the background. You are beautiful as a poem" (The Tiger and the Snow). Bernini's films have always been looking for hope in the desperate situation of war. Whether it is the love between father and son in "A Beautiful Life" or the unswerving love in "Love You as Poetry and Beautiful", he shows it to people: even Reaching the edge of the world, walking to the critical line of life and death, there is always love calling you, guiding you through difficult and rugged roads, using its rich wings to protect you, and using its warm fire to bake your cold heart.
The poet Fuad, played by Jean Renault, is an Arab poet. After the outbreak of the Iraq War, he returned to his motherland from Rome, returned to the beautiful garden he missed, and found his youthful dream buried under the shade of the trees. However, all he saw was the barbarian, burnt houses, the streets turned into rubble, and the black holes behind the barbed wire muzzle.
Fuad sat on the rock and watched the battle on the other side of the river. The velvet blue night sky was lit by fireworks. The appearance of his hometown was beautiful when it was burned, and the beauty that shattered people's hearts. But he can only sit and look up, unable to save all this fall. Saving a country is not like rescuing a dying person. You can find the original method of glycerin and get medicine on foot. It is not that he has not worked hard, but is powerless. He once loved this place so deeply. Those memories tore his heart with unimaginable sweetness, and quietly passed away like a dream.
He had nothing. The war took away his homeland and beliefs. After all, all his efforts were illusory bubbles, insignificant like confetti flying in the dust. No one can judge his final choice-to give up life. When a person who is about to die of thirst is holding a bowl of poison after all, how can he not collapse because of despair?
In the face of war, some people died of guns, some died of disease, some died of hunger, and some died of despair. For a smug idealist like Fuad, perhaps the deep and secluded River Styx (the river Styx in Greek mythology) will make his soul feel better, and it is full of the pain and misfortune of the land that cultivates him and nourishes him. The wailing of the souls who died in the war.
Although the movie always tells people to live a positive life, be strong in fear, grow in despair, and find support for love. However, the war itself is a bottomless black hole. After swallowing these tiny candlelights, we will always see the lives that have been extinguished in the dark. At this time, we can only pray silently, hoping that the peaceful morning light will dispel these worst times.
2. When you meet a tiger on a snowy day, you will fall in love with me.
"If she dies, everything in this world will be over.
They can take everything, remove the stars, roll up the sky
and put them on the truck
to extinguish my favorite." Sunshine
know why I like sunshine so much?
Because I love her under the sun."
Compared with the heavy concentration camp life of "Beautiful Life", "Love you as beautiful as poetry" is more romantic and sentimental, and I am immersed in poetry at all times. In the beautiful melody, even under the war-torn sky, the singing has never stopped.
Someone once asked Adilio why he decided to learn to write poetry? He said that because he wanted to describe the beauty of the moment he saw to others, so that everyone could experience it as if he was on the scene, his heart jumped with his heart for this, and he was surprised by the sudden surprise in his own little world. Rejoice. He brought those fleeting flowers into the world again, expressing happiness and sorrow with happiness, not afraid of painful training, because happiness comes through pain.
Robert Burns said, "No matter where I wander, no matter where I wander, I will always love the hills and hills of the Scottish Highlands." We hear his sorrow, the direction of his heart; Christine Na Rossetti said, "My heart is like a singing bird, and its nest is a tender branch close to the water. My heart is like an apple tree, with its tired fruits bending the branches." We saw her love come. By her side, that heart is happier than getting everything in the world; Borges said, "Memory does not cover its own currency marks, but some things will stay temporarily, but some things will lament." We see tranquility In the afternoon he was contemplating in the library, those still but surging thoughts under the sun.
Among these feelings, love is the strongest and overturning. Adilio said that love poems are the most difficult to write, and they have to wait until they are eighty years old.
When you are young, you must fall in love. If there is no love, life will be barren. Love is the stream running through the cracks in the rocks, the sad fishing nets cast in the twilight, it retreats like a tide, and comes like dew. If you sprinkle it among the flowers and engrave it among the many stars, it can still be dazzling and attract your attention.
In 1983, Roberto Bernini met Nicoletta Blaschi. Since then, his film has only one heroine, she is his life's love. In his life, he fell for the same woman on the screen time and time again, swaying for her, tossing and turning, searching for her ears with his voice, and measuring the country her eyes had reached with his steps.
She was always in his dreams, always the same dream, she confided to him in her white wedding dress. He loves her and loves her in his dreams. She doesn't have the stunning beauty, but she can stop Adirion's planet with a single look. He can't remember the first sight of her, just like every snowflake melts in the sun, and every time he meets her, he will fall in love with her again. He has to keep his eyes on and follow his steps, telling innocuous and easily exposed lies when necessary, and saying "I love you" when there is no proper topic. Adirio wished to become Victoria's little cloth bag, allowing her to poke and stab him with a small needle, still dancing happily.
He can easily win the hearts of women, but he is always left behind by Victoria, like an abandoned puppy chasing after him. When Victoria was injured by a building, the doctors said that she was dead soon, but he was like a persistent child, a kite chaser, as long as there was a shadow in the sky, a glimmer of hope, he desperately fought for it. He gesticulated to tell the poet Emméniz who couldn't understand the language, begged for a cure, and emotionally told that without her, his world would no longer exist, such affection that even the most distant stars would stare carefully. He robbed shops for her, crossed the desert, jumped into minefields, imprisoned in prison, and talked to camels. There was no shadow of death beside her, all his chattering words, endless love, crappy jokes, and time when you could entertain yourself with a little props.
Victoria once picked up a book of poems and joked that if she met a tiger when it was snowing in Rome, she would fall in love with Adrio. The question is, what else is impossible with the touching, obsessive love of Adilio? To this kind of man, I really couldn't bear it, and I had to fall in love with him hopelessly.
Neruda once said, "There are only two things in life that are indispensable: poetry and love."
Victoria has all of this with Adrio.
3. I love birds and leaves that never fall.
"I love birds and leaves that never fall.
I love fish and snakes that meander."——Theodore Roturk's "Cycle"
If Chaplin's comedy is to dig out the bitterness of the times from the happiness of small characters, Roberto Bernini's comedy is to find hope from the adversity of life. It's hard to see a director who loves life more than him, and he doesn't hesitate to release his passion in the camera.
Bernini once said, "Chaplin uses his ass more than other actors. In his movies, the ass is the first protagonist. For comedy, the importance of the ass is unparalleled." In my Cannes In the commemorative album, there are stars who have walked on the red carpet for decades to face the camera, but only Roberto Benigni fell to the ground in spite of his image, creeping on the chair of the jury of that year, Martin. At the feet of Sixs, express his ecstasy of winning, leaving a butt to the camera.
He loves the mud loach in the soil after the rain, he loves the birds that can't sing, and loves them wholeheartedly, using his arms, legs, buttocks, and laughing when necessary. His enthusiasm has invisibly infected countless people who have watched his movies, and people always leave the cinema with smiles and contentment. The Italian director Federico Fellini once unabashedly praised Bernini as a genius. When the French Caesars were awarded, even the proud French would happily imitate his exaggerated way, rushing to the podium and hugging the big trophy in the middle of the stage, shouting, "I am Roberto Bernini !I love you!"
Bernini's performance has the exaggeration of silent film era comedy. People who are used to modern Hollywood spoof comedies may think he is artificial and don't understand why he is so crazy. I think that if you want to understand Bernini's way of acting, you must first understand his love for life. The wisdom of his characters is by no means as pitiful as Mr. Bean's IQ. They always have some talents, and they are burned by talents, and they can't do anything simple. Just like Adirio in the film, you can make a stone sing when you talk about poetry, and make a woman fall at his feet. In life, you will fall down when you walk, talk upside down, never remember what you did in the last second, even a camel runs away. Come to bully him.
Roberto Benigni's passion for life can make people laugh and cry. Laughing is because he still maintains a childlike and innocent character even in difficult situations, and crying because no matter how the environment destroys his will, he retains his sincerity and persistence in feelings. It is hard to see him crying in the film. In "Love You Like a Poem and Beautiful", tears flashed in his eyes only twice. One time, I told Emméniz that Victoria was the sunlight that ignited the fire of his life, and one time I saw my friend Fuad hang himself because he could not bear the trauma of the war. Both of these times are related to life and love. For him, the most important thing is nothing more than this. Without a quilt, you can lie on the ground and look up at the blue sky; without socks, you can feel the pulse of the earth with your bare feet; but if there is no love, no love for life, all this will be wiped out.
Just like the various singing at the end of the film, you can't keep the footsteps of spring. But with Bernini's love, he is spring.
