Nietzsche and Beratar

Albertha 2022-04-06 09:01:06

After my reading of Nietzsche came to an end, I watched Beratar's "The Horse of Turin". At first, I was only attracted by the name. Later, I felt that Beratar was really a person who understood Nietzsche in particular, and he was amazing. But I didn't think so at the beginning, because after reading it, I felt that it had nothing to do with Nietzsche's philosophical thought, or even anti-Nietzsche. If there is any agreement, I guess Beratar used "the work of sealing the border" to express what Nietzsche said: "To have nothing to say is a pleasure and a right, because having nothing to say is precisely the condition for something rare or rare to be said. It is not interference that is intolerable." , but a meaningless proposition." But if it were just that, it would actually be contradictory to making a film, because a film is already an expression. I read a lot of movie reviews that day, and one of them impressed me. It is said that Bellatar also left a question for the audience at the audience's questioning site: Do you feel weak or strong after watching this movie? He asked this question at least twice. The normal answer is of course weakness, and I think he got that too, but repetition obviously means dissatisfaction with that. So I think I got it wrong, he should have expected a stronger answer. God created the world in six days, and the film only captures the five days when the father and daughter's survival went from bad to worse and their lives gradually died out. I understand it to be the fifth day of "death". Beratar's death of God is not the appearance of man, but the disappearance of man, who has a peculiar kinship with God, because man and God are father and son: when God dies, man cannot but disappear at the same time; is special, always hidden behind the universal evidence of the son. So all post-event universality treats the son equally by dethroning the particularity of the father. Equality between sons can only be achieved by dismissing the master. This is actually Nietzsche's point of view. From another point of view, man is a rope tied between animals and superman, suspended above the abyss. In other words, man is always a dynamic transition, an unfinished bridge hanging in the sky. Animality, or the so-called biological nature, in Darwin's case is the beginning and trembling of a chain, in Freud's case, it has degenerated into the broad base of the pyramid of human nature, and they are all reactionaries. Man is unfinished and needs vector charge. And only by taking all the contingency of fate as a forceful attempt to experience, can a human, an unformed animal, gain vitality and be shaped and improved. Therefore, the process of "death" in the movie is the process of God's death, the process of man's gaining vitality and the process of disillusionment. I think in Nietzsche's theory, nihilism is the basis of all revaluation, And the reassessment of all values ​​is the only way to overcome nihilism. Here, nihilism has been elevated to a very important position in his theory. In fact, I have long felt that Nietzsche's superhuman philosophy is based on complete nihilism. In the depths of his mind, there was this lifeless, void-like dead premise that he strongly criticized, and there was a sense of tragic and solemnity of the rebirth of the phoenix's nirvana. So it can be said that Nietzsche was a secret schizophrenic. Nietzsche said in his collection of letters to his friends: Speak for me, this is absolutely unnecessary and never expected; on the contrary, a curiosity, like facing a strange plant, with a little ironic resistance, in my opinion Come on, this is an incomparably wiser position on the self. I think this is the attitude of my friend Beratar. Of course, just my own opinions.

    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 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.
