Consistent Tarkovski style

A bit closer to a feature film than his other films

The heavy description of the suffering of the Russian nation, which is patient and trustworthy, is relatively straightforward (a bit too much dialogue?)

During the period of depression from beginning to end, there was never a trace of turbulence, even when the bell was cast and the murals were softly displayed.

"The Chinese adapt well all over the world while the Russians have a hard time. Why?"

"Does it have anything to do with faith?"

"Is faith and worship related?"

"It depends on whether the worshipper wants the result or the sustenance"

When it's clean everyone loves the domestic vibe seems to be at this stage

Watch this movie with a rebellious spirit

It seems that the only ones who can get out of this world are those who pity the world. This is the end of the movie

It is shared by several of my favorite director Tarkovsky Kieslowski Lou Ye's films.

Warmth is one of my desires fulfilled in the film

    Four hours, it's not easy for me to survive. If I were to look at it now, I would probably hit a wall.

    This is really the best Christian film and artist biography. He has encountered all the doubts in the hearts of true Christians and true artists, and the reactions of the people around him are very familiar. Yet I shamelessly took a nap in the middle of the war scene where the Tatars smeared the Russians, and missed the crucial moment of his crime

Andrei Rublev quotes

  • Andrei Rublyov: You just spoke of Jesus. Perhaps he was born and crucified to reconcile God and man. Jesus came from God, so he is all-powerful. And if He died on the cross it was predetermined and His crucifixion and death were God's will. That would have aroused hatred not in those that crucified him but in those that loved him if they had been near him at that moment, because they loved him as a man only. But if He, of His own will, left them, He displayed injustice, or even cruelty. Maybe those who crucified him loved him because they helped in this divine plan.

  • Kirill: [admiring one of Feofan's icon paintings] As Epiphanius said in "The Life of Saint Sergeius," "Simplicity, without gaudiness." That is what this is. It's sacred... Simplicity, without gaudiness - you can't say it better.

    Feofan Grek: I see you are a wise man.

    Kirill: If so, is that a good thing? If one is ignorant, isn't it better to be guided by one's heart?

    Feofan Grek: In much wisdom there is much grief. And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
