Krzysztof Kieslowski is always trying to tell us how individuals should choose in special circumstances and how they feel powerless when faced with such choices.
Anxiety has existed since ancient times.
In this era of pursuit of freedom and independence, "anxiety" is even more like a shadow.
If Krzysztof Kijeslovsky’s anxiety is the result of the combined effect of totalitarianism and Catholicism, then modern people’s anxiety is an irreconcilable contradiction between individual life and social ethics.
Looking at Krzysztof Kieslowski's films in the current context and environment, his expression is closer to the latter.
In Krzysztof Kieslowski’s films, we can always see him trying to find the results of some choices, trying to free individual lives from this dilemma.
In fact, he knows better than anyone that some goals will never be reached.
I saw the movie "Movie Fan" on the computer, which is also the work of Kieslowski.
The protagonist of the movie is the only amateur photographer, and the shooting behavior at the beginning is completely personal and personal. However, as his status in real life changes, his works have also begun to enter the public domain. The photography at this time gave him no sense of accomplishment at the beginning, instead it caused a series of troubles in life and the choices he faced.
Krzysztof Kieslowski’s anxiety always involves the identity, status, choice and freedom of the individual.
It is difficult for people in this situation to be optimistic, so Krzysztof Kiieslovsky is essentially a desperate and pessimistic person.
I have always believed that the director's work is directly related to his experience.
In other words, the work is the projection of experience.
Viewing the movie "Movie Fan" from this perspective is more like the autobiography of Kieslowski.
Krzysztof Kijeslovsky was not happy in his childhood. His father died of illness early, and he lived in a children's nursing home for a long time because of poverty.
Because of poverty, he and his children climbed onto the roof of the movie theater to watch a movie.
Because of poverty, he was sent by his parents to a firefighter training school, where accommodation is free.
Because of poverty, he had to steal coal to withstand the winter cold after marriage.
Krzysztov Kijeslovsky has always been in a poverty, pessimistic, dilemma, and physical environment. This also makes Kieslovsky have doubts about fate and become a firm Fatalist.
Of course, Kieslowski is not holding a completely desperate attitude towards the world. After entering his later years, perhaps after being praised and affirmed, Kieslowski began to show his positive aspects.
For example, in "The Double Life of Veronica", Kieslowski began to discuss loneliness and the hope that everyone can reconcile with the world.
In fact, Kieslowski’s anxiety is also the anxiety of each of us.
Perhaps it is because of poverty, perhaps because of survival, or perhaps because of reason and emotion.
In short, anxiety has never disappeared, and we have never eliminated anxiety.
As Sartre said, we ourselves are anxiety.
