Movie2019No.118 "The Sanatorium under the Mirror of Sandy Time" is a letter of apology written by a magnificent fantasy to his father. Unfolding in the nested structure of time, it is more mysterious and symbolic than Zaragoza. Each structure is an independent space that is related to other structures. The spaces are connected to each other by the door, the bottom of the bed, the hole in the ground and other elements that often appear in dreams. Each space carries the memory of a piece of history and Haas is integrated into it. There are feelings of guilt for not being able to help his father and mother when he was young, resentment, fear and mourning for the murder of Jews by the Nazis, doubts about his parents' business philosophy, and his own sexual awakening and sexual impulses when he was young.
At the beginning of the film, Haas is sitting on a train. If you pay attention to the scenery outside the car window, you can find that the train is moving in a circular motion, like a dial, and the running direction is counterclockwise. Implying the reversal of time. The dream begins, the gate of the sanatorium is the beginning of the nested structure, the first half goes deeper and deeper, the second half turns back from the same path under the bed, and returns to the hall of the sanatorium. Eye, put on the uniform of the conductor on the time train, and was pushed back into the hourglass of time by the nurse, and it was impossible to fall into it.
A very beautiful film, well-conceived, about the description of the four-dimensional space, Nolan is rigorous and grand, like a symphony, Haas turned the four-dimensional space into a bright, magnificent, and highly ethnic psychedelic ballad.
