Nietzsche's horse

In fact, Nietzsche's book is not easy to read, it is rather obscure, and my understanding is low, so I can understand it more intuitively with the help of this movie.

Nietzsche wanted to resolve the relationship between God, society, and the individual. Of course, what I said was general and not specific at all. Nietzsche's stuff is obscure to me, because it is difficult for me to correspond his philosophy to current reality. After all, reality and realism are easier to accept, but some excessive reality is equally obscure and difficult to understand. The range that ordinary people can accept is still a very narrow part, and I am a part of that.

The film is about the horse that Nietzsche cried, and the director expressed his attitude towards it. What if God dies and God abandons mankind? Is this possible? It seems that there is, man was created, the world was created, and God went away, saying that you will suffer here, then believe me, and I will take you to heaven. Basically this routine. However, you will find that sometimes God seems to be having fun, and it is useless for you to believe in him, he does not seem to hear. The father and daughter in this film are like that. And Ma thought, anyway, God doesn't want me anymore, I'm living and suffering, I'll solve it myself. The problem is that it is difficult for humans to complete evolution in a short period of time, and God has given too little time. How can this be broken? So Nietzsche said, we need to be detached in thought. If you can't evolve three heads and six arms, you can complete the evolution in thought, and it is still possible to take the idealistic route.

On the basis of the above, the Great Escape began. Father and daughter have always adhered to the environment given by God, and do not disgust the time given by God without human thinking and products. What are the products of human beings? Isn't it society? In the end, God still abandoned them and did not show them the way, perhaps the way is death. But this is not right. Since God has given a clear way, believers and unbelievers will die. Then what's the use of trusting him? So Gypsies, if you are drunk at the moment, where can you go! Think of it this way rather than die.

Of course, some people don't like it. In the Middle Ages, it was so dark and material scarcity, you took God as your belief and gave yourself illusory power. Now that you are materially better, you no longer have hardships, so you do not need spiritual food. You have betrayed God. Various accusations of the original sin of mankind.

It's okay, you humans can rest assured, smart humans have already discovered the laws of God. If the world is in trouble again, God will still come to rescue mankind. No way, whoever asked you to design this defective product, you should be responsible. If there is no God, then the existing God theory is nothing more than a political tool for human society, let alone worry about it. It's all right, do it!

Movies all pay attention to atmosphere, and directors like them pay attention to this. It is a genre, I think it is independent of the so-called literary and artistic films of the public, and it should be divided into another one. It should be that Liyi Xiaoqing would not like this type of movie. It couldn't be easier to express the loneliness and hardships of life with movies. With Huahua, it is not just a black and white extended lens push-pull, fixed camera position.

Criticize it a little bit, it's just you directors who try to use these films to inspire the public, that's a wash, but you can inspire some other directors and act as guides. Explore the boundaries of film existence.

    You don't even need to know what Tal is going to say, just surrender to the powerful atmosphere and feel it. The black and white long shot is magnificent, and it can already be compared to the status of the white ribbon in my heart. It even took a screenshot and used it as a poster. Everything was gone in six days, leaving only eternal emptiness. The only restlessness is the Fat Man and the Gypsies segment. It is right to give clues to solve the puzzle, but it loses the simplicity.

    The first day the borers no longer bore the wood. The next day the old horse was no longer driven. On the third day, the old horse refused to eat or drink. On the fourth day the well was dry. On the fifth day the light is gone. On the sixth day, everything is extinguished, burnt out, "everything is in ruins, everything is eroded". The turbid eyes stared out of the window, and outside the window was the endless barren, gray sinking. God is dead. The Horse of Turin awaits destruction with father and daughter. Boiled potatoes can never be eaten, crushed and swallowed; the cold wind in winter is endless, with dead leaves and silt. All things in touch-possess-degenerate endlessly, just as God and the gods return to nothingness. "Because the world has fallen, because everything they have gained has fallen," the man suddenly pushed the door and entered, not knowing what to say, "This is the choice of people themselves, about themselves." And every second after that will become extremely difficult, and the process of going to destruction will be even more hopeless and helpless. The Turin horse refused to eat, and she begged it, just as she begged her old father who had eaten potatoes before the destruction. Silence; darkness... in the darkness there is thunder.

The Turin Horse quotes

  • Bernhard: Theirs is the moment... nature, infinite silence.

  • 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.
