broken look

a contradiction. A superstition of nihilistic truth (love for the protagonist, money and so-called order for others).

- "I don't want to leave you, because I don't know anything about that world; and you are that world, and I can never understand it.

You are right, you are right, and I really love you. (Love is the crazy inverted pyramid of truth, crazy paradox)

The second contradiction. Uncertainty about whether the truth is nothing (the bar owner retorts to him: "Your problem is that you think there is a difference between you and others. The world is in order and cannot be disrupted").

In the end, the truth is gone, people are crazy, and the feelings of friends are betrayed. In fact, it may be long overdue.

It's just not connecting yourself to the world, (probably) not seeing that everyone, no matter how ordinary, is dancing alone.

The long shots are so beautiful, not a single moment is meaningless. The sound is also very good. Cable cars and dogs, the meaningless cycle of the world. After the long shot of the rain, the woman's first sentence is that she likes the rain. After the man told her how he abused the ex-girlfriend who committed suicide, the woman said to him, "My husband is coming back soon." Smile.

The protagonist may be a philosopher. The traces of the horse of Turin have been seen. But I don't know if this movie can prove such a problem: after reading philosophy, I can only make the director's question more mysterious, and the answer is nothing more than a few, only related to common emotions.

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.
