When I saw Alice Rohrwacher filming "Happy Lazaro", she was shocked and inspired by "The Arizona Dream", so she came here.

The director from the former Yugoslavia, Emir Kusturica, infiltrated the hearts of the audience into every character in the film little by little. Every one of them is an ordinary person who has a dream in his heart but cannot get rid of the shackles of life. of ordinary people. Leo, who is chasing the American dream and thinks that he can enjoy old age with a little more effort, but does not want to go to heaven before his career; Still lost around the corner; Grace, disheartened after countless bouts with her neurotic stepmother, every minute of waiting was fatal, and finally choosing to be freed in immortality; Paul living in his own dream of stardom , fluently recites the lines and performances of the big stars, but they are regarded as jokes and can only continue to get drunk in his dreams; Axel is more like throwing himself into the love of the year without thinking, but Grace's departure It hollowed him out in an instant, leaving him at a loss as to where to go. Their madness, their neuroticism, and their hysteria are sometimes elusive, sometimes instantly immersive. In the dream of Axel that the fish drifted by from time to time, this kind of madness gradually became a part of our body, and we gradually felt the truth and fullness of madness from these humorous and even clown-like appearances. It is the original passion for dreams, freedom and life, but as the plot progresses, it begins to overthrow its own speculations, and the feeling of madness surpasses reality and begins to touch on the inner contradictions between each other.

Arizona Dream quotes

  • Axel Blackmar: [last English lines] After the storm, I couldn't say life was beautiful. But all I kept hoping for was the Eskimo boy of my dream to run out of one of these doors and hug me. And even though I no longer felt like a fish and realized I knew nothing, I was happy to be alive.

  • Axel Blackmar: But what's the point of breathing if somebody already tells you the difference between an apple and a bicycle? If I bite a bicycle and ride an apple, then I'll know the difference.
