Seeing Andrei Rublev is like rock climbing. Perseverance is victory.
He basically doesn't care about the plot arrangement, all the shots are for symbolism.

The very practical technical term "substantiating extremely abstract symbols through the picture" is completely inadequate to describe the multi-layered film itself (politics, philosophy, religion, and Slavic culture).

But if you insist on watching the movie and then continue to watch Tarkovsky's interview, you will feel as if you can finally enjoy the scenery when you reach the top.

    It's a piece of story, so although it adds up to a long time, each piece is still very attractive and full of life. A depiction of the beauty and the ugliness, the pomp and the corruption, the power struggle and the wreckage of the era, the exploration of the theme of the relationship between the artist and their client, bright colors and a straightforward and bursting with life (sometimes bloody) The lenses are of a very robust high standard. On these points, recalling Konchalovsky's recent film "Sin" that I watched earlier, it is obvious that I am learning from this film, except that the protagonist has changed from Rublev to Michelangelo (Konchalovsky). Lowski was also one of the film's co-writers at the time). But I really don't like all the nationalist plots, even the nationalism with artistic achievements as high as this film... Alien invasion, adultery and enemy, a sad song, the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and then the bell is cast through the leadership of young people. Through his actions, the nation was reborn, and the protagonist saw hope and resolutely regained his brush for the soul of the nation. In the long ending of the final iconography and the symphony, I wanted to leave a few times early...

    It's impossible to get to the bottom of the film masters' films about religious imagery without reading the Bible and understanding its gist.

Andrei Rublev quotes

  • Kirill: Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth and the thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth. Walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes but know that for all these God will bring thee into judgment. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth before the difficult days come and the years draw nigh when thou shalt say "I have no pleasure in them." Remember thy creator before the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken or the pitcher shattered at the fountain or the wheel broken at the well. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. "Vanity of vanities," saith the preacher; "All is vanity."

  • Andrei Rublyov: I am what I am. You couldn't teach me integrity.
