Don't like it, but admit it's a good movie. The whole film consists of 30 long to perverted long shots, many fixed shots and empty shots, the scene, the characters are single, the plot is repeated, the dialogue is very little, the background music and sound effects are also extremely monotonous, which makes people feel very boring and easy Distracted. But it has to be said that this kind of boring audio-visual effect is very suitable for the connotation and theme of the film. The director does not hesitate to arouse the audience's physical disgust to help the audience experience the difficulties and cumbersome life of the protagonist in the film with empathy, so as to deepen the theme.
2. How many horses appear in "Horse of Turin"? Is there a relationship between horses? Are the horses of Turin related to Nietzsche's horses? (5 points)
Three horses, a black horse kept by the protagonist's father and daughter and two white horses driven by a gypsy.
The three horses form sharp contrasts everywhere in the film, with one black and two white; in temperament, the black horse is in a stable condition and is on hunger strike to die; the white horse runs thousands of miles, carrying the Lord to survive. The temperament of a horse actually reflects the owner's mentality, symbolizing two completely different outlooks on life and values, and also heralding completely different fates for the two types of people.
The horse that Nietzsche encountered is similar to that of the dark horse in the film. This horse is the prototype of the dark horse in the film. Nietzsche went mad because he saw the beaten horse not obeying his orders, and felt the limitations and errors of the will to power and superhuman philosophy. The white horse in the film is a horse that Nietzsche did not see. The white horse just reflects the active function of the human will, and reflects the core idea of Nietzsche's superhuman theory. If Nietzsche saw these two white horses, he would not go crazy. .

9. What is the "plot point III" of "Horse of Turin"? How to understand? (10 points)
The father eats raw potatoes and asks the daughter to eat it, but the daughter refuses to eat it.
The understanding must be combined with the previous plots, and the worldviews of the father and the daughter are analyzed separately.
The monologue of the wine buyer in the first half of the film is an important footnote of the film's ideological connotation. The monologue of the wine buyer is divided into two parts. The first part promotes Nietzsche's superhuman philosophy, and the second part is a complete denial of this philosophy. Because he discovered the limitations of superhuman philosophy, the irresistible external reality destroyed the will to power, which is why Nietzsche went mad. The wine buyer is Nietzsche's incarnation, and this speech can be seen as a subtext of "Mom, I'm so stupid."
His father's role is a loyal supporter of the superman theory. When he hears the wine buyer's confession, he drives him away, but he still insists on staying in his homeland, with the attitude that he will fight to the end, and man will prevail. That's why he is full of contempt for the wandering gypsies, but the gypsies really practice Nietzsche's superhuman spirit by seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Even God can't keep up with their footsteps, and they always want to punish them. , there is no water here, there is water there, there is no light here, and there is light elsewhere. The film's worldview is actually moderate, sandwiched between believing in God and being a superman. It holds a rational and critical attitude towards Nietzsche's theory, which not only reveals its limitations, but also affirms its positive significance.
The role of a daughter is very interesting. She is not as stubborn as her father. She has a heart of reverence for God and a yearning to live elsewhere. This is from her reading the Bible and looking at the gypsies with admiration. And can be read. After an attempted kidnapping by a gypsies and an attempted move with her father, her desire to leave home has been awakened.
The end of the well is withered, but the wind has stopped, which is a symbol of a turning point. As one of the monotonous background sound effects, the whistling wind runs through the entire film, creating a desolate and sad apocalyptic atmosphere with the tedious and boring life of the father and daughter. In a sense, the high winds were the source of the predicament, destroying the market place, stagnating the horses used to transport supplies and supporting the father and daughter, and even bankrupt the father and daughter's moving plans.
The wind subsided, and it was the ability to act that was first liberated from the predicament. The daughter refuses to eat raw potatoes and live in secret. For the first time, she disobeyed her father's order.
