It took three days to finish reading the last two works of the old tower. Unsurprisingly, it should be replayed, but from a personal point of view, I don't particularly like Tarkovsky's style. Although Laota's works are indeed obscure and difficult to understand, the reason why I don't catch it is not because of his filming or plot, nor because his thinking about religion goes too deep into the theme, which indirectly leads to his works. The "poetic" feature of his, but the emotion he really portrayed was not able to move me, in other words, he could not resonate with me, maybe he was too noble.
In my opinion, Tarkovsky is always concerned with the lofty and terrifying problems, so all the lunatics in his films are philosophers, the background is damp, warm, empty, and the building is forever It is shabby, dim, and complicated, as if there are only false "ideals" in this world, and even have to go through hardships, defenses, and choices for this.
This may also be what he wants to express-in the dreamlike world, far from the turbulence, in the interweaving of black and white dreams and past memories, an escape from reality arises. This reminds me of a kind of hypocrisy that I have always hated: the ideal of freeing themselves from the emptiness of the people, they have never really seen the people, it is just an imaginary.
Of course, this category can't completely include Tarkovsky, because I think he should be so clear about this, even so clear that he is too afraid, so he has to avoid it, and curl up and blame himself in the fake ideal. , even in the last absurd prayer to the gods to allow his "sacrifice".
This seems to be contrary to the reason I didn't catch a cold before. In fact, it is not the case. What he really cares about is not specific people, but "the people". He is so lofty that his ideals must not match the reality. However, he And he cannot face his people directly, because if he does, there is a concrete person, and thus additional emotions will arise. This may not be "great" in his opinion, because the group facing it may be too small.
