Tarkovsky likes to show group portraits, like "Chaoyuan Tu", which is still moving, so the title of the film is "Andrei Rublev". The profoundness and grandeur of this country cannot be overstated, just like this film pays homage to the masters of the past: the questioning of the soul is like Dostoevsky, the details of rural life are like Turgenev, From winter to spring, it seems that I hope to be like Chekov, the horse runs into the broken church and it is astonishing. And power like Shostakovich, the last shot of a horse on a river in the rain grazing leisurely like a Repin painting.
The Russians are also silent and chatty, but the constant is piety, which is the last hope of the poor, cold, war-torn, and distressed Russian land, just like the sacred ceremony of consecration in the mud when the big bronze bell was cast; Go to the rough Tatars, these bastards are not afraid of hell! Although they have ruled Russia for more than two centuries, and their blood is flowing in their bodies and souls, the Russians seem to hate them to death: because of their beliefs, even if they do bad things, they will not fall into the realm of evil spirits. The appearance of the Tartars from the Emperor Qianlong's paintings in Lang Shining's Qing Palace looks like a devil. The devil imitates gods everywhere in his ability, so wherever his majesty goes, the ruins are broken and the dead are lying on their pillows, but they are evil after all.
The process of casting the bell by Boris was performed tirelessly, while Andrei's painting of the icon only showed the result: this young man who did not hesitate to greed for money and self-destruction to make the public's heart revelation Andrea like an angel, just as the Annunciation revealed the virgin. , the process after that is that God works through his hands, and human affairs are of course not worth mentioning, even if he has been canonized—hundreds of years later, the Jesus, the Virgin and the angels on the frescoes are dressed in clothes and faces. It has been cracked, and it still looks at us as it did in the past - even if the Pope is corrupted, God will never give up on us, this is our only hope.
