"Andrei Rublev" is the second full-length film of the most famous director of the former Soviet Union, Andrei Tarkovsky. It records the great genius icon painter An The life experience and mental journey of Andrei Lublev. This film is one of the most incomprehensible films besides Tarkovsky. It is full of a lot of metaphorical scenes. I think the difficulty is the difference between religious culture and historical background. After watching it many times, I came to the following opinions about the film.

The film is far from being a historical story, or a biographical film, as its title suggests. "Andrei Rublev" was created over a long time span. It consists of 9 separate but interconnected parts: "Prologue", "The Wandering Entertainer", "Fiowangelek", "Andrei's Passion", "Festival", "Doomsday", "Doomsday" Invasion, Silence, and The Bell. These short dramas with different plots and themes streak together a critical period in Andrei Rublev's life.

The theme of the world outlook and religious outlook presented in Andrei Rublev is: universal spirit and self-redemption. The film not only shows the turbulent era in which Andrei Lublev lived and his religious journey to achieve self-salvation and spiritual salvation, but also expresses the director's artistic pursuit, world outlook, and religious outlook - "showing people how the artist is creating The state of mind and social emotion when the ideological wealth of eternal significance is produced, as well as the humanistic feelings with a universal spirit.”

I don't know if it's Andrei Lublev or Andrei Tarkovsky. I was deeply influenced. They are my life pursuit. I hope that one day I can also use an art form to infect more people. .

    Feofan Grek: I see you are a wise man.

    Kirill: If so, is that a good thing? If one is ignorant, isn't it better to be guided by one's heart?
