The value and meaning of life

It is suspected to be the perspective of the dead young son, because the angle is very ethereal like a wandering soul, and the angle that looks up, like a picture of a child following in his eyes.

Many without words, only the images of the opera symphony are very much like a montage looking back on this life.

The combination of the two-part documentary-like part and the plot is not very clear, from space to the earth to the ocean to cellular microorganisms, to ancient creatures trilobites and dinosaurs, and to modern marine life, in short, I don’t quite understand what it wants.

At the beginning of the film, it is said that there are two ways to live in life, either freedom or elegance. The story of the family behind is also closely related to this point. Although it is like the memory of a child, the soft light does not brighten the shadow.

His father needs to be graceful, and his family's past glory makes him proud. Although his job is very ordinary and even about to go bankrupt, he has studied music and taught his sons how to behave. However, his own foundation and ability are limited. Helpless and helpless, he is a very contradictory individual in front of his son.

The son was tortured by his father's strict discipline, so he wanted to be free, to be obedient to himself, and to be true to himself. At last he was freed.

    【A】It is probably a movie that I can't summarize in my whole life. It is not "writing poetry with images", because it is just the purest expression of images, and it is an artistic carrier that can keep pace with literature. Childhood memories, the pulse of life, the collision of ideas, the fusion of emotions, the rift of death, the macroscopic view of the universe, the birth of life, the interweaving of time. In fact, I never thought that all the propositions arising from the relationship between human beings and the universe could be expressed in detail by a film. Perhaps it is this extreme simplification of formalism that makes the image itself in the macro and micro levels. The collision and fusion of radiates such charm. Maybe that's what makes the movie so great...

    After Gary and Melancholia, another landscape film that broke me down, just looking at the backlight and the baby in high-profile photography would be too beautiful to breathe, and just looking at the flow of life in the universe would be deeply addictive. But the problem is, when the two parts seem to switch frequently without any premonition, and when you remind yourself that this is a "feature film", it is difficult for ordinary viewers not to feel distressed.

  • Father Haynes: He saught that which is eternal. As he alone see God's hand, who sees that he gives? Or does not also the one see God's hand, who sees that he takes away? Or does he alone see God, who sees God turn his face towards him? Does not also he see God, who sees God turn his back?

  • Young Jack: Father... Mother... Always you wrestle inside me. Always you will.
