eternity and day

Before watching it, I wondered how it could explain such a complex subject in a story. After reading it, I had to admit its success. The success is not in the story itself, but in its use of a way of expression that fits the theme - the combination of a one-way life and a multi-dimensional stage: a line of multi-faceted jumping interspersed, even if there is no specially designed sci-fi skills, it is still magical The ground guides the audience with a realistic pulse of warmth to show the fragments of the process of time. In the meantime, the exaggerated effect of the stage expression, in contrast with the current natural and restrained narrative, directly highlights the formalization of history. Seeing this, we seem to be able to find great comfort, and suddenly, what runs through eternity is not the images and shadows that have passed away that reside in time and space, but just a collection of feelings, which is tantamount to life and death, it is soaked in the future and the present. , In the past, sometimes, it was recited in poetry... Those who are still alive, it is in the voice of this chant, rekindled joy, and peacefully walked to the end of the day...

    Long takes often begin or end with a zoom, and the scheduling, soundtracks, and sound effects are brilliant; however Angelopoulos' films have always made a focus on form over an empathic investment, with a style that lends itself to an essentially unadorned emotional subject matter. It is too calm and difficult and unnecessary, but for a larger topic, it shows a lack of abstract form; it also involves death, private memories, feelings of family and country and loneliness. Compared with "Nostalgia", this film is a high judgment. ——So An Shi actually just "changed a style (usually not used for sensationalism) to continue sensationalizing" and failed to rise to the level of intuition or subconsciousness. In this sense, he and Wim Wenders can be described as Shaw Like; they may be essayists, but not poets.

    I don't understand, I don't understand what the movie is going to express, I don't understand the behavioral logic of the characters, I don't understand what story this is about, and I don't understand the meaning of this kind of film. In the end, I don't understand Theo Angelopoulos, not only his movies, but also his profound thoughts and poetic feelings like the sea. . ~

Eternity and a Day quotes

  • Alexandre: My only regret, Anna - but is it only one? - is to not have finished anything. I left all as a draft, shattered words here and there.

  • Alexandre: All passed by so quickly. This suspect pain... my stubbornness to want to learn,to want to know... then the darkness... the silence around me... the silence. All made me believe that before the end of winter with the ethereal silhouettes of the boats,and their sudden breakthroughs in the sky, with the lovers along the promenade,in the declining sun, and the hypocritical promise of the spring, all made me believe that before the end of winter... My only regret, Anna... but is it only one?... is not to have finished anything. I left it all as a draft, shattered words here and there.
