Randomly written movie reviews

After watching the movie in a hurry in the morning, maybe my experience is not enough to support more insights, I feel as if I understand something, but I don't seem to understand anything. This is a story of poets and statesmen, fugitives and pursuers, encounters and persecutors. It made me suddenly and deeply feel the meaning of an artist's existence in times of peace and war, and what can be changed. Another point is that in the stories of other people or more influential people, we are often just a supporting role (or seem to be not even a supporting role), and we don't even have a name. But we still have our own beliefs and perseverance, and we are determined to accomplish something. We can change the surroundings with our own power and also be changed by the surrounding environment. It doesn’t matter, it always exists, but it may not be remembered by more people, but that What does it matter. In fact, there is still a faint point. It seems that in a more conventional heroic story, there must always be a persecutor, a bad guy, a boss, and a villain. And then the right side finally triumphed after all the hardships, serving as a model that could inspire more people. I suddenly remembered that my friend recommended this movie at the beginning, saying, "This movie is very beautiful." But I may not have any artistic skills, but I just feel that the scenes are relatively harmonious, and the final snow mountain scene is very beautiful.

Neruda quotes

  • Óscar Peluchonneau: [voiceover] The poet has the fever of artistic spirits, who tend to think the world is something they imagined.

  • Arturo Alessandri: You and your communist comrades were so thirsty for power that you let yourself be fooled by a three-penny populist.

    Pablo Neruda: What's wrong with having ambitions of power? It's our turn now. We are entitled to aspire to La Moneda.

    Arturo Alessandri: How will you govern?

    Pablo Neruda: With a democracy of Soviets of soldiers, workers and peasants.

    Arturo Alessandri: God help us all. The palace will be covered in peanut shells and broken bottles. They'll write laws with spelling mistakes.

    Pablo Neruda: Perhaps. But the cemeteries won't be filled with executed political prisoners.

    Arturo Alessandri: Senator, please.

    Pablo Neruda: You think the way to defeat communism is to push us into exile. To put us in jail. But allow me to offer some advice. The solution is to kill us all. Kill us. That will solve your problem.

    Arturo Alessandri: Don't say that again. Some may be tempted to try.

    Pablo Neruda: Who's going to? You?

    Arturo Alessandri: I'll consider it.
