Cattle and sheep grazing in the Apennine

When I walk into tailors and movie theaters...
I feel helpless and
numb, I feel like a wounded swan
swimming on water from ashes The
smell of the barber shop makes me cry and
I'm tired of being human...

It's probably this little text , which made me lie on the side of the bed and reminisce about the rhythm, the agility of the text it endows, and an unexpected freshness in the hot and dry air. I am lucky to have a fan dancing tirelessly in front of me, and I am also unfortunate. In front of the sea, the humble sand always sinks into the sea's chest timidly.

Whether it is hot or fresh, the fascination of Santiago, the Paris theater, the triumph of London, the communism of the Soviet Union, the blue tablecloth of the Mediterranean, the cattle and sheep grazing in the Apennine. His life is like a poem, and their life is like a picture. On the long astray, poetry and painting are accompanied by love and friendship. After all, the postman is still on this side of the blue ocean, on a peaceful and peaceful island...

He is a communist, he seems to be uncompromising, but he has a body and a heart, and the warnings of Christians have not prevented some kind of absurd from dying. This is the dung beetle that a free society has to live in. It transports dung and is despised, but it is an important part of the organic whole, fulfilling its duties with all one’s heart and energy. The existence of human nature will eventually allow evil spirits to escape, such as the disbandment of the Russian Communist Party. People can believe in doctrine, but they must not be superstitious. Communism is suspected of superstition, and Aum Shinrikyo is also the same...

Speaking of poetry, it seems to have become the base for Neruda to spread his ideas. It is a bit similar to the way of living in groups and coordination. In short, it is closed-minded and cauldron mode. The base area can be extended to many freaks, such as using the so-called patriotic racial advanced to absorb fresh life as a footnote. In the end, it is even easy for people to contact the MLM network, and the fresh blood attracted by the base area develops and goes offline until the huge network is completed.

Neruda's poems use casual metaphors to express feelings, and the subconscious subjective thoughts will be transmitted to his fans. This effect is obviously immeasurable. So it seems to me that the death of the postman has something to do with this contagious disease that affects thousands of workers, either innocently sacrificed or in deep colic. And death has become another way of liberation for the sick, so that's why doctrine is terrible.

Always consciously or unconsciously think that the director is not just to show a boring little drama like "a postman establishes friendship with a poet and finds a lover". It is easy to make the story empty in form and lose its soul. Formally based on this, I personally feel that Michael's metaphorical thoughts are hidden in the film. He tells us the metaphorical characteristics of poetry all the time, and we can understand it by inference. In fact, movies and music are the huge metaphors he gave us. How to decipher them becomes complicated and interesting. Therefore, the works become profound, and a friendship and a relationship can impress everyone on a deep level.

It doesn't need too much gorgeous scenery to be brilliant with ordinary methods. The most simple voice is the most beautiful gift given to us by the creator.

Through the ending of the postman's death to reflect the various shortcomings of the poet Neruda, he was regarded as a friend or even a god by the postman, but he has already lost the accuracy of the past. Specifically, Neruda is not a person who is physically and mentally consistent, while the Postman is quite the opposite. This gap creates a penetrating expression of the story, which is deeply and concretely presented to the audience.

Thinking about it again now, I still think the movie itself is a pre-arranged metaphor...
