whole film is actually a collection of stories, written by John Malkovich The directors played are connected in series: he is sometimes one of the characters, and sometimes he is an outside observer. In fact, his real role is Antonioli himself. Above the clouds, he stares at the love and pain in the world with cold eyes, and is controlled by This constitutes his life: through film, the analysis of the conflicts and struggles of people's inner feelings. In fact, it is at the end of this film that he said "Directing is a special job" by John Malkovich. With my own voice, that is, the so-called standing high and looking far away, such a person on the cloud will naturally see a unique perspective and lens that we cannot perceive and stage a suite of
desires of contemporary people. The law of desire is the first. Article: Desire only exists in its state of dissatisfaction. The reason why a person has desire is because he cannot get what he desires. When it is truly satisfied, the sense of desire disappears, and it is replaced by a no longer pure possession. At this time, the desire has shifted, in order to maintain that kind of hunger. In the first story, a floating stranger and a female teacher fall in love at first sight. A parallel shot, the two are walking back and forth and thinking deeply in their own rooms in the hotel. Tortured by desire. The two lost contact the next day. The girl quietly left. At this time, his love has been watered down, and the torment of longing prompted him to pursue his desire. When he finally found it. , But he lingered; he realized that what he might love was the illusion deeply imprinted in his mind. When he faced his lover naked, he hesitated not to touch her, the foot between his skin It seems that there is an infinite repulsive force. In the end, he chose to escape, using illusory love to maintain that fragile desire.
If the character of uneasy desire makes people love and hate, then someone will use it and transform it into a force outside of its own process, stable and powerful, just like politicians do in the country. The girl played by Suo killed her father, and the pleasure of Freud's complex brought her back to the crime scene, telling her all this to John Malkovich, whom she had never known before, and then having sex with him. Moral anxiety. Desire is used to wash away the shame, to satisfy the temporary salvation of the self, and to wash away the original sin of thousands of years. Reason shows its powerful instrumentality, showing how it can tame a head that has left countless marks in human history Beast.
However, no one will be willing to alienate themselves, not to mention that it is already strong enough to control the individual's mind. In the third story, the man who got married, or the man whose desire was satisfied, fell in love He had another girl. Since then, his life has been wandering between his wife and lover, weaving lies, and performing stories that are not unfamiliar. Sexual desire occupies the naked expression of desire. The feelings between them are driven by sex. Instead, it can be reproduced in its entirety: sex becomes the dialogue itself, and even the dispute ends with sex. Possession drives him. We can see that the freshness brought by the initial satisfaction of desire is only temporary; it rises to become after disillusionment. The intertwining of rationality and wildness, and ethically embodied as a middle-aged emotional crisis. The power after the mind is transformed into reality is terrible and amazing. Finally, his wife is gone. What is interesting is that she ran into Renault, who was sick and pitiful with herself in another place. , It verifies the universality of this ethical crisis and strange emotions, as well as the destructive power hidden behind desire that can almost destroy all existing values.
When desire begins to drive contemporary people to deviate from the pre-determined track, taboo will be put on the table. Religion becomes the salvation straw. When instinct degenerates into animality, desire begins to make people feel scared. The last story, a young man falls in love with A female believer who insists on dedicating herself to God. She is beautiful but with indifferent refusal. She has a platonic meditative dialogue with him. It seems that the field of metaphysical reference is the last refuge in the world. She said. Satisfied by herself and tanned by the temptation of desire, she couldn't help her heart beating. But she still chose to return to religion and complete the last chain of self-redemption. The sentence "I will enter the monastery tomorrow" dispelled all cravings and completed the superego's foundation. I, civilization’s prohibition and suppression of desire, as Foucault said, the era of discipline begins here. Whether trust in religion can ultimately bring peace of the body and peace of mind, the director still gives a question mark. At the end, the large-scale panning is like telling that there are still the same or different stories still being staged in every corner, waiting to be transformed into images, or transformed into memories. I
have been thinking about the relationship between text and image. The film does not need too much explanation and the indoctrination of ideas. It is like a special language, deconstructing the signifier and the signified, constructing the viewer and the author, the text and the image. "Days on the Clouds" is just such a thing. This film. Marvel at the imagination of the two film masters and their excellent ability to control the lens. The tone of the entire film is beautiful but not flashy. The use of a large number of sports lenses and the large-scale pan and zoom image composition are excellent metaphors for the rise of desire. The process of falling and falling. A careless feeling of drifting away from the center is penetrated through it, interpreting the calm and sadness brought by the unattainable height in the clouds. Wynd Wenders, who loves rock music, brings two top Irish music figures : Van Morrison and the u2 band are here to write a sad farewell to this fading blur.
From the initial dissatisfaction of desire, to the pleasure brought by self-indulgence, the other developed through the satisfaction state. A kind of uneasiness and thirst, eventually being included as the self-existence of order, is precisely the genealogical diagram of desire, or civilization. In his later years, Antonio used his lifelong experience to tell the complex relationship between love and desire for many years. , It is a contemporary map of desire, revealing the impulse and anxiety that are confused by appearance.
