After watching "cloud of siris maria" twice, I feel like I can understand the film more deeply. The first time I watched it, it felt more like a patchwork of dialogue fragments, but in fact the whole movie was a miniature display of the drama "Maloja snake". Maria, a former star who played sigrid 20 years ago, is experiencing the loss and annoyance of divorce and the passing of whailm, and has been re-invited to play the role of helena in Maloja snake. Helena's character is the exact opposite of Sigrid, the former aged, passive and anxious because of time and trivial troubles; on the contrary, the latter is young, seductive and courageous. Maira, who played Sigrid 20 years ago, is now facing the blow of playing Helena, 40, but in fact the blow isn't just from the drama itself, it's more about the passage of time. The passage of time brings about aging, change and heaviness. In the film "Maloja Much of the presentation of the play snake is reflected in the practice conversations between Maria and her personal assistant Val. The young, beautiful and fearless Val presents the character of Sigrid from the side, a man who, on the surface, seems more appropriate to the age. Therefore, whether it is Maria in the drama or Maria in real life, the identity she assumes is Helena, and she must experience the aging, separation, pain and trivial troubles brought about by the passage of time. When Maria first talked to director Klaus in the film, she talked about her belief that Sigrid was a free person, a person who transcended time; and Helena was attracted to Sigrid precisely because of the freedom that Sigrid had; It is the poor man who is entangled in all kinds of things of karmic nature. She spoke of Sigrid with a complacent, inexplicable sense of pride. But the director told her that when Sigrid 20 years later became the Helena who committed suicide because of herself, Maria did not accept this. Interestingly, at the end of the film, Maria accepts an offer from a sci-fi film director to play a mutant. One of the director's words is worth thinking about, he said that Maria's role is out of time, so age does not affect the role badly. Not only that, but as far as he is concerned, he does not wish to live in this age of mass media and information bombardment. The director's words correspond to Maria's so-called freedom, and freedom is beyond time. People cannot choose their own era, so people will not be free after all. Freedom does not mean being young and uninhibited, freedom means being able to survive well in the face of limitations, reaching infinity in the limited.
The movie that struck me the most was "Maloja snake," which is "Maloja's Cloud." At first I couldn't understand why the director wanted to connect Yun with this young lost actress Maria. But one of Val's lines caught my attention. She said that many things, you stand from a different angle, the phenomenon you see is also different. Precisely because in Maria's eyes, Helena's character is a kind of fateful misfortune - abandoned by Sigrid, haunted, eroded by pain, etc., so she can only see a poor old woman Helena. However, Val, who is outside of this role, can see more of Helena's advantages: she is responsible, tolerant and more humane, etc., which is because the young Sigrid brought about by external time has no advantages: All Sigrid has is the inexplicable pride and cruelty of being young. Of course, it cannot be denied that Sigrid is more resolute and fearless, and Maria does not have this fine quality. Therefore, the phenomena presented by things are only a refraction of people's vision. People stand at different angles and observe different contents; not only that, the phenomena of things themselves relative to things are also endless. But this does not mean that it should be understood in a negative sense: one cannot exhaust things; it should be understood in a positive sense: one has infinite possibilities of exhausting things. Just like Maloya's cloud, ever-changing, gathering and dispersing, no matter how it emerges, it is Maloya's cloud after all. Mystery is mysterious because it is not controlled by time, it is beyond time: it can be young and old, tall and short, woman, man... So Maria can also be It was Sigrid, and now Helena. Everything is just unpredictable. Also as the director said at the end, people can't choose their own era, just like people can't choose their own age. Time can't be chosen, but the heart can choose: 20 years ago she was Sigrid, 20 years later she can still be Sigrid. The human spirit is unpredictable, and even the passage of time cannot destroy it.
