"Warm Ending and Cruel Poetry", the eternal question of the meaning of life

"Landscape in the Fog" Let's talk about it first. Now this movie is No.1 in my heart. It replaced the previous beautiful life and started watching it at 6.30 in the evening. Just watched it for the first time: I didn't understand it but I was shocked. Then I went to a certain station to find an interpretation: It was so awesome that I was shocked. Okay, let’s go to the main topic [Meow Meow] ﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉ ① After watching the movie, I was most confused and the most discussed scene in this movie: A hand salvaged by a helicopter from the surging sea. This allusion comes from the "Creation of Adam" in "Genesis", which is "the hand of God", "the hand of faith", the index finger is broken, so it is impossible to indicate the direction (there is no direction), alluding to the lost. ② Regarding the ending, I learned that the director's original script ended not like this. The original setting was that after the gunshots on the river, the elder sister Vera was shot, and only the younger brother Alexander floated to the other side of the river in the dark. One version of the rewrite is that the two young actors disagreed with such a sad ending. Another version is that An Zhe's young daughter cried after reading the script and asked, "Where is Dad? Where is home?" No matter which version it is, We know that Anzhe finally compromised with the children. (I'm also glad that it wasn't the original ending, otherwise I would really be unbearable after thinking about it after reading it.) But there is a third interpretation that the final ending is still a tragedy. Because after the gunshots in the dark, the picture lights up, but the picture is filled with endless thick fog, and in the depths of the thick fog, there is a tree. Just like an illusory dream, a fairy tale illusion. ③This movie has a very dull and sharp pain. "Desolate Dream Journey" "Brutal Poetry". It is about the search and wandering of the eternal "road theme" in Europe, and about the desperate persistence in the barren, absurd and meaningless life. It compels us, with a stubborn gaze, to ask what is the meaning of our lives in this wild and absurd modern world. [/cp]

    The journey of life is like watching the scenery in the fog, with turbulent fate and bleak future. Many symbolic shots, the contrast between stationary adults, weddings, dead horses and children, the people in yellow clothes that keep appearing, the hands emerging from the water. What about after growing up? It is not a clear and beautiful dream, but a directionless future in the mist, and a transformed adult world. That huge hand, the index finger to guide the direction has been lost.

    We can silence each other and stare at each other. I see the night, the lights, and you. If I cry, who will hear it? Because life should be a wandering without end.

Landscape in the Mist quotes

  • Orestis: If I were to shout, who would hear me out of the armies of angels?

  • Voula: [writing a letter to her father] Dear father, we are writing because we have decided to come and find you. We have never seen you and we miss you. We talk about you all the time. Mummy will be upset that we've gone. Deep down inside we love her, don't think we don't, but she doesn't understand anything. We don't know what you look like. Alexander says all sorts of things. He dreams about you. We miss you so much. Sometimes on my way home from school I think I hear footsteps behind me, your footsteps, and when I turn to look there's no one. Then I feel very lonely. We don't want to be a burden to you. We just want to get to know you and then we'll go away again.
