The final monologue of the film reminded me of Odysseus. About wandering and returning. My short translation is as follows: When I come back wearing someone else’s clothes and using someone else’s name, but you know my unpredictable journey. If you see me and don’t believe it, say: "You are not here" I will show you those Then you will believe me, and I will bring you that lemon tree in your garden. The cold window of the lemon tree is crossed by moonlight and the signs on the limbs. The signs of love. Between the hugs, between each call of love, I will tell you that the journey used up the whole night together with all the upcoming nights, between each hug, between each call of love, that’s all about a person Adventure and this story will never stop

    This is the farewell of an era, the end of suffering, the end of the journey. At the same time, it is also the memory of Anzhe

    An Zhe's film has a long-standing reputation, but it's really not easy to watch. The nearly 3-hour film only used more than 80 long shots. The search and contemplation about the war of life are all expressed by searching and recalling. That sentence is right, searching is the whole meaning of life. Philosophy is too strong to be appreciated.

Ulysses' Gaze quotes

  • A: Good night, good night... Parting is such sweet sorrow... that I shall say good night, till it be tomorrow... sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breasts... would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest... Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell... his help to crave, and my dear hap to tell!

  • A: [final lines] When I return, It will be with another man's clothes. Another man's name. My coming will be unexpected. If you look at me unbelieving, and say "You are not He", I will show you signs and you will believe me. I will tell you about the lemon tree in your garden. The corner window that lets in the moonlight. And then signs of the body, signs of love. And as we climb, trembling, to our old room, between one embrace and the next , etween lovers' calls, I will tell you about the journey all the night long. And in all the nights to come. Between one embrace and the next. Between lovers' calls. A whole human adventure. The story that never ends...
