a little impression

Run away to heaven, that translation is weird. The story has pure family affection, pure friendship, pure love but not pure themes. Whether you admit it or not, our subconscious mind is always results-oriented. Even if the process is beautiful and the result is tragic, it will always be characterized as a tragedy; no matter how difficult the process is, the ending is beautiful and it will always be a beautiful story. Heavenly love is both intuitive and abstract. The film so the helicopter flies to a place we can no longer see, but it stops abruptly. Some say it's a shabby story, some say it's a great story; some say it's transparent and simple, some say how deep and quiet it is. This is diversity and difference. How can you be sure that your understanding is correct, objective and insightful? Are other people's understandings wrong, subjective, and naive? Perhaps there is a problem with the question itself, that is, the answer to all these questions is based on the idea of ​​the screenwriter and director of the film, so some people will say: "Let's hear their true original intention." In other words, how do you let your free will in life do what you think you decide to do, because you were not created by you, and the people who created you were not created by themselves? When thinking about ontological issues, the conclusion can only be that "people are too small and the world is too complicated." As said at the beginning of the film, "Really, helicopters can't fly high all the time." "How high can I fly?" ? The logical starting point is never unknowable, and the person who answers the question always feels that he is right.

    Kieslowski's posthumous work, a desperate mandarin duck journey with violent revenge & sibling love. The bomb incident in the prelude is the ensemble of Lao Ji [Song of Opportunity] and Tykway [Lola Run]. The moral dilemma of fate and chance, vengeance and sin is thus revealed. Subsequent stories follow the logic of genre films, but they are romantic and sacred, just like many bird's-eye shots from the perspective of God, and the silhouette of the two people blending under the tree at sunset (Adam and Eve) , and the legendary infinite ascent (heaven or hell?). The Tuscan countryside, Kate and Giovanni Ribisi's performances, and lightly lyrical piano music also add color to the film. (8.0/10)

    The style is extremely European. Although the various elements and genres in it are mixed, the front and back parts of the film are still distinct. The first half is almost all indoor scenes. The narrow interior space creates an extremely contradictory and strange atmosphere. Beginning with Kate's shaved head, the film is given more meaning, whether it's love or crime, the director refuses to speak in a cynical way, replacing it with a profound calm
