After watching his 3 feature films, I realized that he was a philosopher who made films.
He is keen to express floating water plants, gurgling water, rain and snow and other motifs, citing religious or philosophical sentences, painting-like composition, and his dedication to expressing famous paintings. The narration of the film and the footage that dilutes the narrative make us, after several failed attempts, stop trying to find material in his footage and invoke our inner world. His shots are as poetic as his expressions are as obscure. He is the Hegel of the film. Anyone who has a little knowledge of philosophy can avoid Hegel, and anyone who is diligent in film cannot avoid him. I don't need to know what he made, I just need to know that he - is Tarkovsky
This is an invaluable film because it's beyond my comprehension

    Re-read it with English subtitles, the story is much clearer. (It feels that the Chinese subtitles of Tarkovsky's films are basically scrambled.) I like the songs of the wandering entertainer, the war in the church and the casting of the bell. How to immerse yourself in creating bright art in a dark reality, Tarkovsky gave a powerful answer.

    The dilemma created by the artist, the conflict between personal beliefs and the environment, the opposition between spirit and reality. The video is magnificent, the style of moving the mirror, and the painting that turns from black and white to color at the end is quite epic. Compared with other works of Lao Pagoda, there are not too many personal scenes, only the birch trees at the beginning and the trembling water plants at the bottom of the creek. Laota wants to express his personal views on art and creation, and he can understand it better by looking at the sculpture time.

Andrei Rublev quotes

  • Kirill: [admiring one of Feofan's icon paintings] As Epiphanius said in "The Life of Saint Sergeius," "Simplicity, without gaudiness." That is what this is. It's sacred... Simplicity, without gaudiness - you can't say it better.

    Feofan Grek: I see you are a wise man.

    Kirill: If so, is that a good thing? If one is ignorant, isn't it better to be guided by one's heart?

    Feofan Grek: In much wisdom there is much grief. And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

  • Andrey Rublev: I see the world with your eyes. I listen to it with your ears. With your heart...
