flow of life

I watched Granny Varda's second documentary, again on a dim winter afternoon. It was a wonderful feeling. Many things are hard to agree with. It is only in such a sense of alienation that we can observe the beauty of life in other places in the flow. Let's go.

Very bold shooting, many flashes of subjective inspiration, the image of the scavenger in the gray and cold colors is presented, different scavengers have different stories, ideology and politics are also freely flowing, and penetrate into the viewer's thinking. .

The old lady catches walking wagons with her hands, picks and throws natural alcohol in fig orchards, she collects clocks without hands, because that would obscure the flow of time, how rare is this innocence, between innocence and hypocrisy Finding a delicate balance is the essence of loveliness. Hearty loveliness and sincerity are the most precious virtues in the world.

[The purpose of art is to organize a person's inner and outer world. ] [They have a past and a sense of life. 】 【Use things in a sentence. 】

The collectors have their own refuge, their own utopia, and the boundaries of this group. Some of them have been abandoned by society, some have found beauty in the past, some are fighting against ethics, and some are creating their own world.

In fact, all the things we can see are selected, just like the heart-shaped potato we can only see here, how should we give natural gifts and artificial creation, whether we have wasted power, and what is the subject power? In human cultivation or natural rain and dew growing conditions? Does food come from sowing, or does it come from the ground? Of course, the market is the initiator of large-scale waste in some respects. How can the market find its own rationality in this?

A high wall has also been built between the market and the collectors. Although the criminal law stipulates these behaviors and provides a reasonable defense for the pick-up behavior, this should be an intermediary behavior between man and nature. The traces of human society will inevitably highlight a conflict too much, and the map of scavenging and the 10-yard distance between the pickers and the scavengers in the apple picking orchard, the trash can exhibition, what a beautiful thing this is.

In fact, daily life has left a lot of space and gaps for environmental protection. It is not only the macro level that provides policy support and legal explanations for environmental protection itself. There are more rises and interpretations at the intergenerational level and the level of daily life. It's a great opportunity to let the market accept less-than-perfect potatoes. It's a good attempt!

    At a time when the concept of renunciation is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the concept of "gleaming" has a different meaning. Some are material compulsions, some are life attitudes, and some are artistic creations. Unique and highly emotional point of view, cute and improvised shots and Rap, picked up by Grandma Varda, apart from heart-shaped potatoes, clocks without hands, and happenings that should not be forgotten but are ignored by most around, everyday.

  • Agnès Varda: He looked at an empty clock but put it back down. I picked it up and took it home. A clock without hands works fine for me. You don't see time passing.
