image empathy

Finally finished Beratar's "Scourge". It is finally because it has been nearly a month since the last attempt to watch it for 20 minutes, and it is finally because this film is really not a movie that wins by plot. If you're trying to get a gripping story out of it, you're definitely looking for the wrong person, because until the end I didn't get the feeling that the little tower was meant to convey sentiment, which is emotion, rather than message, which is story.

The story of the movie can be summed up in one sentence. A man is infatuated with a female singer (a married woman) in a bar and cannot extricate himself. All the long shots that seemed to be lengthy, even pointless, have meaning under the shroud of this emotional direction. A feature film that is nearly two hours long, without a single line, or suddenly comes up with a metaphysical discussion, not only tests the audience's endurance, but also tests the audience's IQ.

It is not easy to make an image into an image, which should be the empathy of the image.

Damnation quotes

  • Karrer: When you looked at me yesterday. I realized something. I realized that, between you and a world forever out of reach, there is a strange and empty tunnel. I don't know anyone else who knows that road. You're standing alone at the entrance to the tunnel because you know something I can't even put a name on, something deeper and more ruthless than I can ever understand. I realize that I can never get closer to that world. I can only long for it, because it is hidden by a light and warmth that I cannot bear. I have been able neither to believe in it nor to renounce it. Yesterday I realized I had made a fatal mistake. If I were to lose you, it would be the unforgivable end of me. Because I know nothing about that unnameable world. Since you are part of it, you mean the world to me. That can never change. Please don't repudiate me. Let me see you and I'll do anything for you. Kick me, spit at me and I'll return again and again for you to kick and spit at. Because you are right, you are ruthlessly right. And I really do love you.

  • The Singer: [singing] Take it or leave it, this is what you're stuck with. You lose your words, yet you cannot go.
