man and maze

"I'm Not There" has always been a very special movie for me. The director not only disrupted the timing, but even chopped up the six periods of Bob Dylan expressed by six people, and finally used music and some kind of Concept regrouped. Ben Whishaw, the energy and a certain kind of steadfastness before fame; Bell, the time of fame and conversion to Christ; Kate, the main character, showing his prime; Heath Ledger, the marriage time his state. In the end, black children are enlightenment and display of talent, and Richard Gere may be escaping and reappearing. These two passages echo each other. To be honest, I didn't think the movie was good, but she did give me a lot of ideas and experiences, for example, it seemed like she wanted to express a kind of "order in chaos", as Dylan said "I accept chaos ". This makes me think that life is not a smooth timeline, but a hot gas in some kind of container. Whether young, middle-aged or old, or resisting fame, confusion and change, they are all entangled together; young people enlighten the old, and old prophecies to the young. When Theseus entered the Labyrinth of Minos, he would not have been able to get out without the line and sword given by the princess; and this "line" is time. So, it seems that time is an extra, there are just people, and this maze.
