boring life

It took me three days to watch this nearly 8-hour movie. Although I watched it intermittently, it did not affect the continuation of my emotions at all. To a certain extent, I still had room for aftertaste. The use of long shots and slow black and white tones are a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the film, but slowly it seems to become a part of you, leading you to explore what is going on in this run-down village, where people are facing changes in their lives and The taste of the mixed flavors during the change has nothing to do with justice, ideals, and inspiration. It is more of a helpless drifting with the flow, subject to the arrangement of fate. The only thing I didn't watch was the little girl's cat-abuse behavior. She was given an innocent age, but had adult-like cruelty and anger. Although she couldn't bear to see the cat's whereabouts, the girl's death also implied In the world of the weak and the strong, those with stronger, more savage and stronger genes must survive in the end.

    Ordinary art practitioners always spend a lot of time figuring out what kind of viewing the audience can accept, while artists always stare at life and heart for a long time, and then choose a kind of gaze to give to the audience. Great Bella Tal, great work. Some works are like this, you may be tormented when you appreciate them, but afterward, you will always miss it from the bottom of your heart. Hopefully, as Sontag said, I can rewatch it every year. Full marks.

Satantango quotes

  • Százados: Not that human life was so highly valued. Keeping order appears to be the business of the authorities, but in fact it's the business of all. Order. Freedom, however, has nothing human. It's something divine, something... our lives are too short for us to know properly. If you're looking for a link, think of Pericles, order and freedom are linked by passion. We have to believe in both, we suffer from both. Both from order and freedom. But human life is meaningful, rich, beautiful and filthy. It links everything. It mistreats freedom only... wasting it, as if it was junk. People don't like freedom, they are afraid of it. The strange thing is there is nothing to fear about freedom... order, on the other hand, can often be frightening.

  • Futaki: I shouldn't drink. When I do I keep thinking of coffins.
