A friend said: "Tarkovsky is a Schopenhauer-like pessimistic tendency."
I said: "I think he is just very realistic."
Tarkovsky did not die in his hometown, he died in France, 84 In 1986, he declared "self-exile" and died in 1986. He already knew he had cancer when he was in "self-exile", after filming "Homesickness." I've found that many masters can foresee their own death, and "self-exile" is not the only thing Tarkovsky had.
Why die like this? It seems to me that they have no fear of death in the face of death, they are calm and calm, and everything is natural. Death is a normal thing. "Self-exile" is probably the best preparation for death. Why do they despise their own death so much? —Because there is something more important than death. Looking at "Sacrifice", it is not difficult to understand that what Tarkovsky worried about before his death was not himself, but human beings. Speaking of humans, seriously, Tarkovsky didn't think he was talking big. Ordinary people all yearn for euthanasia. Before death, most of them think about their afterlife and their children. Who has time to think about "human beings"? "Sacrifice" has no historical background, no regional characteristics, only human beings.
