"Alexander... Alexander..." The same call from the mother appeared in the film several times, and I remember the head and tail, as well as the relationship with my mother in the ward. The scene of the dialogue.
Corresponding to the mother's call, it is the state of "Alexander"'s soul wandering and exiled.
"Why mother? Nothing is as expected? Why? Why must I choose between pain and desire quietly? Why do I have to live in exile? Why do I not recognize the return journey...I'm talking about myself here The place of language, but I can’t feel confidence, my own language, when I can find those, lost words again... or those forgotten words, why just... hear the dream monster in the house? Why? Tell me, Mom... Why do I never know how to love?"
This "Alexander" inner monologue in front of his mother's bed is extremely wonderful, even desperate, and this is the true portrayal of his exile and wandering soul.
Soul way home
film is Greek, Chinese subtitles have seen several versions, translated in many different places, such as bus, suddenly appeared poet Solomon Moss, the face of "Alexander" and the child, the In the last sentence of the confided verse, some versions are translated as "softness is life", and some versions are "life is sweet".
From the perspective of the film, I am more inclined to the former. "Softness is life" is more in line with the mood at the time. From the perspective of the film, Solomos left "Alexander" words naturally and Those missing words that Alexander has been searching for are related.
For the unfinished poems of "Alexander", these words can give life to the poem, and in the film, the process of searching for these words is also the process of "Alexander" searching for the soul destination.
There is a scene that I couldn’t understand at the beginning. When Alexander’s consciousness traced back to the trip to the island, he left his wife and companions to climb the reef alone. Wen recalled when he was a child, he stood here again like a child excitedly, facing the vast ocean, greeting the ships passing by, relived not only the memories of childhood, but also full of curiosity, publicity, and desire. The passion to explore and conquer everything. But then the camera was pulled back to reality, and with the appearance of a drowned child on the shore, the atmosphere that had agitated and heroic just disappeared.
This kind of symbol is self-evident, the excitement will eventually return to the flat and decline, in the face of eternal time, everything seems so small and short-lived. Even though Alexander is such a well-respected writer and poet who has achieved such brilliance, he seems to be unable to stand the test of time. When his life comes to an end, he feels indescribably lonely and desolate. The enthusiastic revolutionaries in the bus slept in the night carriage, and the wonderful performance sounded but also had the end. It seemed that only the verses of Solomos had become eternal.
"The falling morning dew is the last starlight at dawn,
announcing that the sun shines,
there is no cloud pain,
no fog,
in the endless sky, the
breeze stops,
so softly on the face,
she seems to be to the soul Tell,
gentleness is life."
Feiyang will eventually return to silence, so what is eternity? What is the essence of life?
Looking back at the translation of Solomos's last poem, "Gentleness is life" is even more appropriate, the arousal and heroic will eventually return to plainness, and "gentleness" is the eternal essence of life.
I, send a drop of my tears,
"Give you an apple, it will rot;
give you a rose, it will wither;
give you a bunch of white grapes, it will be crushed;
Me, send a drop of my tears. "
This verse came out of the vagrant boy inadvertently. About decay and eternity, about emotion and love. The
film is nearing the end. In the fantasy world, in front of Solomos and his wife Anna, both ask the same question. There will be tomorrow How long? In the
end, Anna replied to her beloved husband, “Forever or just one day.” As the
years pass day by day, each day experienced may only be a limited period of time that can be measured, even if it is the accumulation of long years, and Compared with eternal time, it is fleeting.
But a certain day, a certain moment in life, perhaps for Alexander, or for us, this moment occurs in the last few days of life. The
soul is no longer lonely and cold. When I see the boy lighting the clothes of his deceased companion, facing the burning bright and warm flame, with tears in his eyes, remembering and praying, when Alexander stepped into another river and met his deceased wife, Feeling the warmth that was once ignored by me, and my heart is full of regret. At
that moment, he is no longer alone, and the soul of the other is with himself. That day, even just a moment that can be arbitrarily subdivided, is eternal.
Alexander Last A monologue of is very exciting:
"Forever or just one day,
my path is on another river,
with these words, I will go with you,
you are there,
all this is true, can be waited...
really,
true
Yes , my little flower (Kovra)...
exile...
my little flower (Kovra)...
exile...
