"God gives you happiness, what relationship do you have with God." This film is actually a nostalgic interpretation of Tarkovsky. What he misses is the innocence and primitiveness of human beings, just like Adam who was born in the Garden of Eden. The film itself is just asking two questions—why do we need faith, or what do we lose as civilization develops. The Lost of Civilization "Look at the child, we have lost our way, and people realize that we are going on a wrong road, a dangerous road, just as you become heavy." Tarkovsky used this sentence at the beginning to foreshadow the next The subject, humanity, is on the wrong path, and where are we going wrong? He said next. "We humans, a civilization built on this strength, this ability, and the weapons needed to maintain this ability, are used to create the comfort of life, this fear, this sense of dependence, that's what we call The development of technology.” The development of human civilization is just to free us from the dependence of religion, and enter the worship of technology and technology, what is the difference in its essence? The advancement of human frontier science and technology, such as genetic technology, has not also spawned human fears that are deeper than the fear of God—the extreme fear of technological progress and ethics. "We are savages, we have reached a terrible imbalance between material and spiritual, a kind of incompatibility...or our civilization, complete garbage." Yes, modern technology has brought human morality Ethics and human beings are divided in two, we are divided in two, we no longer have poetry and leisure, we live without purpose, not even faith, we live empty, even barbarians! Tarkovsky's satire of human civilization reached its peak here, but he immediately said, "Barbarians also have a higher spiritual life." So, how to achieve a higher spiritual life and get rid of the persecution of technology on us , Tarkovsky gave his own approach. Weakness of language "Communication is a painful thing... Omg, this conversation is so tiresome for me, words, words, words! I only understand what Hamlet is trying to say now, he can't stand those speakers, if some people are willing to stop talking and do something practical. "Yeah, words are so powerless, and the communication between people seems to be an impossible thing, ranging from wars between countries to small trolls on the Internet, communication between people is always Restricted by various limitations, language itself is an extremely imperfect thing, and it seems that people are forever trapped in the curse of the Tower of Babel, unable to achieve harmonious coexistence. Tarkovsky tried to help mankind Voice - "Humans must live in harmony with nature! "But it is immediately trapped in the communication between people. The confusion of human beings, the loneliness in the world, the pain of being divided by technology, has reached a critical point, what should we do! We desperately need a The existence of a Jesus-like savior, to do some practical action, to save people's spiritual life. People, jump here for their spiritual life. People get bread, only those who are in fear find rest, only those who go into the underworld save their loved ones, and only those who pull out a knife get Isaac. It is generally believed that faith produces not works of art, but vulgarity Artifacts, which exist only for cruder nature. In fact, it is far from it. The dialectics of faith is the most refined and the best of all. It has a sublimation effect, of which I am sure to form a concept, but can't say much more. I can leap into infinity with a spring-loaded trampoline, and my back is like an acrobat's taut cord, twisted into it as a child, so something like this One leap is effortless for me. I can walk on the edge of life, but I can't do the next moment, because I can't have a miracle, I can only marvel at it. - Kierkegaard "Fear and Trembling" At the end of the film, Tarkovsky asked the protagonist to pray to God that there would be no war, and even he was willing to dedicate his everything to prevent the end of the world from coming. Alexander, who was looking forward to the rebirth of the world, was burnt out when he was exhausted. My own house. During the raging fire, Alexander was taken to the hospital by ambulance. It made me feel as if I was looking at Kierkegaard's book, Alexander and Abraham completed the fusion. In Kegaard's book, Abraham's choice to hand over his child to God is unknowable and irreversible (a choice for an unknown dark future after knowing that he can't come back). The same is true for the fire in the movie, Alexander Great because of this irreversible darkness and even fainted. In Kierkegaard's book, Abraham chose a life of faith where that man's is higher than the universal, he chose God over the universal ethic of man, which shows that we have a transcendental dimension , in the life of faith. The same is true for Alexander. It seems immoral for him to set fires recklessly, and even violates human common sense and laws, but he is due to more transcendent and transcendental reasons. His burning is to save, not only his children, He was still saving all mankind, so he also chose a life of faith at that moment. Life is done in a kind of leap, and progresses in unknowable, "this or that" choices, without a ray of light, the light of rational imagination. So the choice here can only be to follow, to follow the command of God. (beyond the experience of the human race). We don't need to grieve for the burning of the house in the movie, the house turns to ashes, turns into a puff of smoke, we don't need to discuss the despair of human beings, and the bleakness and hopelessness of the world, we just need to hold the key to the temple of faith , like the protagonist in the movie, to make an "either-or" choice, we are not barbarians who are willing to fall into life! People, jump for their spiritual life!
