Fly with love - [Paradise]

I have to say, for many years, I have not seen such a kind of love. It can be photographed so still and tranquil, full of crime and punishment, yet so delicate and pure inside.
At one point I was still very suspicious, is this the story of Kieslowski? Is this a story outline carefully set by a compassionateist who has always been discussing the soul and the body, the mundane and the noble? The most perfect embodiment of his core idea should be [Ten Commandments] rather than [Red, White and Blue] with political leanings. Even I have to wonder if Tykwer has grasped the idea of ​​the original in the overall grasp - after all, this kind of love is too beautiful. Breathtakingly beautiful, it has little in common with Keith's earlier work.
However, we all know that it does belong to Kieslowski and not Tekway. A director who made [Running Lola] an MTV concentration camp and made [The Princess and the Knight] dazzling, if there is no energy behind it, and there is no real master's advice, it is hard to imagine such a smooth and smooth mirror. like language. This kind of cooperation suddenly reminds people of Antonioni and Wenders.
The interdependent love that I have always loved is a perfect performance here. But if the story is all about the love between these two people, Kieslowski would be Kim Ki-duk, and he wouldn't leave anyone sitting in the same place after the end, and he wouldn't be able to return to his senses. . Philippa's unintentional loss brought her love, but was surrounded by lingering guilt. This is the fundamental reason why she can't accept Filippo as clean as white paper. They sat together in the church and prayed. Filippo looked at her with such persistent and childish eyes. When she said "I love u" to her, she could only say that she hoped that she would end her life earlier. The only regret is that until the last two escaped in a helicopter, I don't know how much guilt and torture she had left; or, Keith's original intention was to leave room for our self-imagination. That's it.
There are two places that can reveal the heart of the original work and have been photographed most beautifully. One is that philippa woke up after passing out and held filippo's fingers tightly without knowing it. Later, filippo mentioned this detail in the tape recorder left to her. I am afraid that this moment will determine his love from beginning to end. There is no need for exchanges of expressions and words here. The inner excitement and sudden capture can only be imagined in the spirit. The heart-to-heart bond and acquiescence, all the love in this grasp has achieved a turbulent undercurrent and a complete subversion that cannot be expressed in a thousand words. The second is that two people on the run suddenly left in the evening when they were living in a small town. When the world was in chaos, Tekway poetically used a distant view to photograph the dark shadow of two people hugging under a tree. In fact, the beauty of this is exactly the same, there is a deep and soul-shaking vibration, and the richness of imagery cannot be explained in a few words, but it has a taste of Zen.
Whether love can wash away the sins a person brings after all, no one can answer. Kieslowski apparently conceived this idea in [Paradise]. Dante's [Divine Comedy] gave him another inspiration after the creation of the [Red, White and Blue] series, but on the one hand, he had the worry of being invincible, but on the other hand, he could not really express whether the so-called paradise was absolutely pure, or whether Basically it should be a middle ground between sin and beauty.
In the process of fleeing, the two always faced unexpected success: the hiding of friends, the understanding of family members, and a group of stupid police. But that doesn't mean peace once and for all. So when Filippo's father found them with money, Philippa asked him to leave with his son. Her father asked her: So do you love him or not. Tears filled her eyes, but they didn't flow. For a long time, nodded and said, love. It was the first time she said love, and the only time. From then on, I gradually felt that the fate between these two people - you see, even the names are so similar, it shouldn't be a coincidence, as for whether it is Kieslowski's unique The ingenuity of it is unknown.
Seeing that Tykwer said in the subsequent chat, he almost immediately decided to let ribisi play filippo. It's just because he has a temperament that is both mature and naive. As an aside, I'm really partial to ribisi, and even half the reason for watching [Paradise] is him. Even though there was very little dialogue and a lack of expressions on his face, it was undoubtedly a great pleasure to see his eyes that were sometimes bright, sometimes melancholy, sometimes affectionate and sometimes shy.
