The kidnapped Nietzsche

1 The Escape of Anti-Plato.

The whole movie is trying to reverse the process of God's creation, 6 days, naked. The father and daughter packed up and fled from the stone house. The spinning wheel suggested that there was nowhere for them to escape, just like the existence of human beings, survival means falling into Plato's cave. The rational construction since Socrates is so powerful that Nietzsche's attempt to reverse Plato is ultimately just an exploration of its opposite. The empiricist Whitehead mentioned in Process and Reality that the entire history of Western philosophy is only A footnote to Plato's page, this kind of helplessness is undoubtedly revealed at the end of the film. On the 6th day, there is no light in the sky. Whether Genesis is against Genesis, where is the way out?

The answer is very negative, because Nietzsche went mad at the end. Is madness another form of existence, as Foucault examined in "The History of Madness in the Classical Age". Why did Nietzsche say "Mom, I'm stupid" at the end? Why is it mother? The setting of personal names shows that Nietzsche finally turned back from the opposite of Plato, like Oedipus, who inevitably killed his father and married his mother , he no longer speaks, the language only escapes in his heart, and the 146-minute movie actually ends after he says the word stupid.


2 The language of gust of wind in the movie.

The Bible says that as soon as Yahweh opens his mouth, the earth will shake and the mountains will be shaken. . . All in all, it's pretty cool. The gale here should describe Nietzsche's language, and the whole film shows Nietzsche's inner activities.


3 Dionysus goes away.

The bald-headed uncle who came to drink wine is alluding to Dionysus, the god of wine. He has a very devilish image, but he said a lot of things that should be said by God. Antichrist, it fits Nietzsche's attack on religion. In addition, Nietzsche praised the god of wine, and it was this gentleman's movie that finally fell into the abyss, just like Nietzsche who was crazy at the end.


4 Eating insinuates the oral stage.

It's a bit reluctant, but when I saw the father and daughter eating potatoes, I felt that it was a bit depicting incest-sex, plus the description of the excretion only turned to the horse, and the father's eyes looking at the daughter are so focused, disappear The excretion of the excretion hints at the fear of incest. It must be like this. Finally, Freud was successfully brought out, and the oral stage did not run away.


5 The act of giving propositions is suspected of kidnapping thoughts.

The opening narration points out that "this film gives an interpretation, what happened to the horse that Nietzsche went crazy after hugging", it is understandable that the frame is given and the premise is set in the interpretation behavior, and the proposition of the proposition will inevitably fall into domination. But the kidnapping I am talking about is only a suspicion, depending on the manifestation of the object, that is, the kidnapped person.


6 Movie-induced Stockholm Syndrome.

Thoughts return with the carriage, the film provides images of everyday familiarity and endless strings, so the audience is happy to sit by the window like the daughter. But the destructive storm is still there, so the expectations of the daughter and father have not stopped, and it is the expectations in the eyes of the two that remind the audience that they are in a state of being hijacked at the moment.

The movie provides a plane, and the audience on the spot gives this plane the possibility of extension, so the generation of escape space requires both of them to be "evoking". The audience is safe in that space, bound and safe.

    Legend has it that as long as you enter the film school, you need to watch movies from the perspective of film industry practitioners. Today I watched "The Horse of Turin". I understand, I can't even watch it anymore, but some teachers and classmates are so excited that they are so excited, shouting for the movie, I'm in a heavy heart. Far?

    8/10. Finally, I watched the famous long shot of the father and daughter disappearing into the horizon along the gentle slope and returning to the horizon. The sense of time flow of the small tower does not stop at the repeated scenes, but constantly changes the camera angle and character behavior, such as the different scenes of fetching water. Using left, right, and panoramic follow-up photography, the daughter also went from looking blank to hunger strike while eating, looking out the window (looking forward to a new life) and talking to guests over wine (all gods are nothing), which outlines the theme of the psychological dilemma of the instant collapse of faith.

The Turin Horse quotes

  • Narrator: In Turin on the 3rd of January 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Albert, perhaps to take a stroll, perhaps to go by the post office to collect his mail. Not far from him, the driver of a hansome cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver - Giuseppe? Carlo? Ettore? - loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene caused by the driver, by this time foaming at the mouth with rage. For the solidly built and full-moustached gentleman suddenly jumps up to the cab and throws his arms around the horse's neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words "Mutter, ich bin dumm!" and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, under the care of his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse.

  • Bernhard: Everything's in ruins, everything's been degraded, but I could say that they've ruined and degraded everything, because this is not some kind of cataclysm coming about with so-called "innocent" human aid, on the contrary, it's about man's own judgment over his own self, which of course God has a big hand in, or, dare I say, takes part in, and whatever he takes part in is the most ghastly creation that you can imagine, because, you see, the world has been debased, so it doesn't matter what I say because everything has been debased that they've acquired and since they've acquired everything in a sneaky, underhanded fight, they've debased everything, because whatever they touch, and they touch everything, they've debased; this is the way it was until the final victory, until the triumphant end; acquire, debase, debase, acquire; or I can put it differently if you'd like, to touch, debase and thereby acquire, or touch, acquire and thereby debase; it's been going on like this for centuries, on, on and on; this and only this, sometimes on the sly, sometimes rudely, sometimes gently, sometimes brutally, but it has been going on and on; yet only in one way; like a rat attacks from ambush; because for this perfect victory it was also essential that the other side, that is, everything's that's excellent, great in some way and noble, should not engage in any kind of fight, there shouldn't be any kind of struggle, just the sudden disappearance of one side meaning the disappearing of the excellent, the great, the noble, so that by now the winners who have won by attacking from ambush rule the earth and there isn't a single tiny nook where one can hide something from them because everything they can lay their hands on is theirs, even things that they can't reach but they do reach are also theirs; the heavens are already theirs and theirs are all our dreams; theirs is the moment, nature, infinite silence; even immortality is theirs, you understand?; everything, everything is lost forever, and those many nobles, great and excellent just stood there, if I can put it that way; they stopped at this point and had to understand and had to accept that there is neither God nor gods, and the excellent, the great and the noble had to understand and accept this right from the beginning, but, of course, they were quite incapable of understanding it, they believed it and accepted it but they didn't understand it; they just stood there, bewildered but not resigned until something, that flash on the mind, finally enlightened them, and all at once they realized that there is neither God nor gods; all at once they saw that there is neither good nor bad; then they saw and understood that if this was so then they themselves did not exist either; you see, I reckon this may have been the moment when we can say that they were extinguished, they burnt out; extinguished and burnt out like the fire left to smolder in the meadow; one was the constant loser, the other was the constant victor; defeat, victory, defeat, victory; and one day, here in the neighborhood I had to realize and I did realize that I was mistaken, I was truly mistaken when I thought that there had never been and could never be any kind of change here on earth; because, believe me, I know now that this change has indeed taken place.
