??????
I have the imagination of my aunt's flat-footed uncle
Roaming in this world for a long time and still don't know its meaning
I dreamed of going to the Nile and crossing the Volga
I believe in many nonsense till this day
i'm still confused i'm still confused
even at my age
I still can't find a clue to life
I've read as many books as the stars
I have come to the last journey of my life
It would be nice to have it again
maybe with you
if you are willing to
——《Ani k staru! Ani k staru! (Interlude from the film "Prague Etude")
It wasn't until after my retirement that my long adolescence had just begun.
Although the experience of life has become more and more abundant after the precipitation of the years, it has made me more curious and confused. Why is it that the older you get, the more things you are unsure about?
Knowing the age of destiny, life is still clueless.
This is a sketch of the life of the protagonist in the movie "Prague Etude".
?
The film, played by old Sverak (who is also the screenwriter of the play), was originally a literature teacher. He chose to resign and go home because he punished the students who provoked him. "I don't stay here because I don't feel happy anymore." - The wayward old man advanced his retirement life in advance.
After staying at home for a long time, he began to feel lonely again, and regardless of his wife's objection, he found a part-time job for himself. His first job as a courier ended when he broke his leg while delivering a package. However, before the leg injury was completely healed, he found himself a new job recycling glass wine bottles when he went shopping in the supermarket.
The new job brought a different color to his life.
Under the camera, on the night of late winter and early spring, under the indigo blue sky, the old train slowly drives out of sight. On the glass of the window, the snow that has been accumulated for a whole season has melted into water stains, indicating that the cold winter has gradually drifted away.
Whether delivering a courier or recycling old wine bottles at the supermarket, both jobs involve dealing with people. So the old man met all kinds of people in his adventures, including family, old friends, and new friends.
Life has been injected with new breath, and instead of being calm at an age that knows destiny, he is in a hurry, and even a little overwhelmed and clumsy. But the immutable life has now disappeared, the dullness has been broken, the twilight vitality has grown in the gap, and the desire has faded with it.
✨
In the evening of late winter, the old man with a new job began to have a spring dream.
The objects in the dream are all the women he met during the day, female colleagues, female customers, female nurses, and even female bosses. In a swaying carriage, a female conductor in a sexy uniform took the ticket, checked it, punched a hole, and showed affection in her affectionate eyes, "I miss you." "Me too." "We miss you. .""Me too."
In the carriage full of desires, the women sat opposite during the day, and the ambiguity filled the air.
Faded desire, although still desire, has more timely restraint. Erotica in the dream, click here. Either he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, or he was in control of himself in the dream. In a scene in the movie, the old man rejects the glamorous girl in his dream: "I'm sorry, I'm tired today, I'm worried about my daughter..." (At this time, the old man's daughter just ended a failed marriage.)
Although young has nothing to do with age, but in the post-adolescence of the old man, family and morality are still a gravitational force, pulling the floating island back to its original place of belonging at any time.
The youth of the elderly, just like the flowers blooming in winter, has its own tension of life.
❄️??
"I look forward to summer, because the sky will be hot. I look forward to winter, because there are no flies. Now, I have nothing to look forward to." This is a monologue of the wife in the movie. On the surface, it seems that the former passion has retreated, and life is like a pool The frozen lake water has no more waves. In fact, there is a lot of unwillingness in these words, full of incomparable expectations for life.
When the night is quiet, those secret desires that are hidden from the depths of the heart, one by one when I wake up from a dream, or leave a trace of tenderness, or still make people linger, the heartbeat for no reason is accelerated, and it is difficult to calm down for a long time. Those short and powerful shouts suddenly sounded like the spring dawn, piercing the sky, and it was a signal for the recovery of all things.
The temperature in the air was getting higher and higher, the ice on the lake melted, and the warm wind blew up a pool of spring water.
