Group Symbols in Eternity and One Day

music, music. In addition to that picture there was music, and the music lingered in my ears, and the music wanted me to write something.
Angelopoulos' film, learned from Luo Zhanfeng's "Music × Film". I first learned about "Eternity and One Day", and then took the movie appreciation class. I found that a movie poster called "landscape in the mist" that existed on the mobile phone for a long time was actually a movie of Director An.
Again, listen to the original sound and then watch the movie. It's been a few weeks since I watched it, but the music in "Yong" keeps rolling in my head today. The music is hasty, tranquility and sadness.
The group symbols in "Yong" are unique and unforgettable.

A group symbol with symbolic meaning:
Alexander sends the little boy back to Albania, and the two arrive at the border between Greece and Albania, when the fog is full. I saw a lot of people on the iron net on the border. It was an Albalian who was about to climb over the iron net to reach Greece. Such a situation cannot occur in reality. The director's arrangement not only shows the sad and beautiful tone of the film, but also expresses the director's attention to social reality in a surreal way.
After Alexander and the little boy got on the bus, three people in yellow raincoats rode their bicycles and drove in the same direction as the bus. After getting out of the car, they passed them again. All kinds of people pass by on the bus, and group symbols are displayed collectively. People representing parades (or revolutions), love, music, poetry hop on the bus, and it ends in a surreal way. The poet Alexander met the poet he respected, and the poet recited his poems. Three cyclists in yellow raincoats give a surreal feeling. The beginning and end of the bus journey may indicate that maybe the beginning and the end of life are the same, and the only difference is the encounters in our journey. The beginning and end of life is darkness, and the process is light.

Realistic group symbols:
the wedding scene shows the wedding customs of the Greek nation; Alexander returns to the past, gathers with his wife, mother, and friends, and Alexander dances with his wife, showing the Greek style, love sea, and Greek traditional clothing. Ann showed us a picture of Greek style, human and secular, family and love.
But Alexander still doesn't know how to love...
How long will it last tomorrow?
Eternity or a day...

    Long shots, boring to death.

    Someone once told me that poetry is the nakedest march of language. And Angelopoulos composed a poem in long-shot language. The difference between them is not the presence or absence, but the depth and atmosphere of the thinker.

Eternity and a Day quotes

  • Alexandre: I once asked you "how long will tomorrow last?" and you answered me: Eternity and a day.

  • Alexandre: Why did I only felt at home... when I was able to speak my own language? My own language, when I could find the lost words... or bring the forgotten words out of silence. Why only then I could hear the echo of my own footsteps in the house?
