With poignant music and drunkards dancing in dim lights, the man begins to tell the story. Year after year, solar eclipses always recur, and this ancient ritual has never been interrupted since the day the earth was born.
The moon, the huge object between the earth and the sun, slowly enveloped the sun, the nocturnal animals began to make noises, and the world was shrouded in darkness, an uncompromising hellscape.
But in the end, the moon will slowly move away, and the light will eventually come again.
The bar owner kicked him out. The man was not angry, but said calmly, "Sir, it's not over yet."
Like Gyorgy Eszter's speechless bloated whale carcass in the finale after seeing the storm subside. A thick fog rose, and the whale was slowly covered up. But it is not over, and it will never end. Years later, the moon will eventually rise again, and then another darkness, and another despair.
Violence is such an omnipotent tool that runs through the entire film.
Gyorgy spent his whole life in pursuit of musical harmony, but in the end he easily compromised during the riots and modified his piano into an ordinary piano. Scholars' theories can never defeat real swords.
The scholar's wife is also the sheriff's mistress. When the sheriff was weak and weak, grabbing her hand and begging, she just pulled back her pajamas in arrogance and disgust. So the sheriff took the gun, and she cried out in joy and danced with the sheriff with the gun.
To borrow a phrase from Milan Kundera, sex is no fun without violence.
In the film, people use violence to correct patients and "harmony", but in the end they find that what is hidden under the violence is nothing but a very weak, naked and dignified soul. They don't know what they are rebelling against, and maybe all they really need is the act of rebelling against themselves.
"Look at what you brought us." The man looked at the giant eyes of the whale, and there was no blame in his tone, just infinite helplessness. It has no consciousness and no malice. It simply has a huge size, and it is used by the "prince" in the circus and is constantly used to stir up trouble. Sometimes greatness itself is a sin.
When the protagonist went to see the whale for the first time, people dressed in black and scattered around solemnly and silently. They had no specific things to do, and no one went to see the whale. They were just silent, saving money in silence. strength. It turned out that the seeds of violence had been quietly buried in their hearts.
