I'll come back
with someone else's clothes, someone else's name
but you know my return is unpredictable
If you see me and don't believe it and say,
"You're not here"
I'll show you the signs
and you'll be I'll trust me
I'll talk to you about
the lemon tree in your garden The
cold window pierced by the moonlight
And the marks on the limbs The marks of
love

As we step closer to the dream Between
every hug
Between every call of love
I'll tell you that the journey took
all night and
all the nights to come
Between every hug Between
every call of love It's

all about one man's adventure
and this story Will never stop

- Harvey Keitel's tearful stare, a man's monologue.

A person's life cannot escape the shackles of history. Looking at the silence, it is all heavy, because the joy is only for a while.

The search process is painful and requires a lot of perseverance. Or, how much you respect yourself, how much firmness you have. In this way, the word perseverance is meaningless. You sleep in the open air, you leave your lover, you leave all the warmth and softness, you travel through the hail of bullets, but the result is lost, showing a black hole of sadness. life as it is.

Those three rolls of non-existent film are not non-existent, but rare. This kind of rarity does not change because of the individual. exists but cannot be found. In fact, it exists in every moment. Life goes back and forth, backward or forward, it is actually the same.

    Borrowing from the culture of the Balkans, the story of Odysseus returning home in ancient Greek mythology to mirror each other with the characters who were looking for the three rolls of film, there are vast thoughts about the country, hometown, relatives, and ideology, and the way to express these ——For example, after panning without any jumping shots, a story in another time and space begins, and memories or imaginations are for you to discover by yourself. The nearly ten-minute ballroom long shot brings out the changes in five years, just like a dream, played by the same woman. Women who have emotional entanglements with "Odysseus"... I don't know what to say, An Zhe really doesn't underestimate the audience and doesn't take care of them.

    Watched "The Interrupted Waltz" in Zou's narrative class. A is Odysseus, in pursuit of the "first gaze" that represents home, while recalling his own life and thirst for love in Balkan reality

Ulysses' Gaze quotes

  • A: I didn't expect to see you suddenly, I guess... For a moment, I thought I was dreaming of you... Like I did all these past years... Do you remember the railway station?... You were shivering in the rain, like now... The wind was blowing hard... I was going away, but I meant to come back soon... And then I got lost, wandering along strange routes... If I could stretch out my hands, I would touch you... And time will be held again... But something is holding me back... I wish I could tell you I'd return... But something is holding me back... The journey isn't over, not yet!

  • A: Good night, good night... Parting is such sweet sorrow... that I shall say good night, till it be tomorrow... sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breasts... would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest... Hence will I to my ghostly father's cell... his help to crave, and my dear hap to tell!
