a few points

1. For me, it is like a "Memoir of the Cultural Revolution",

What is the most appropriate way to present suffering? Authentic reproduction vs poetic compression?

2. The disorder of time serves the narrative and emotional order of "searching":

There are two very awesome long shots, 1, New Year's celebration / house raiding, 2, in the end, everyone was shot and killed in the fog

In the long shot, through the transition of light (light and shade, atmosphere), fog, performance, music, etc. as sub-shots (in the long shot), the possibility of image expression is expanded in time and space;

3, I want to cry when I see the last scene,

Art, including film, is worth pursuing.

Poem at the end:

When I return, it will be with another man's clothes, another man's name.

My coming will be unexpected.

If you look at me and unbelieve me and say,

you are not here.

I will show you signs. And you will believe me.

I will tell you about the lemon tree in your garden.

The cooling window lets in the moonlight.

And then signs of the body, signs of love...

And that's we climb trembling to our own room between one and the brace and the next, between love's calls.

I will tell you about the journey all the night long,

and then all the nights to come...

between one and the brace and the next...

between love's calls...

the whole human adventure...

the story that never ends...

    The theme remains the journey and the search. The view extends from Greece out to the entire Balkans. It's too big to digest.

    This is the farewell of an era, the end of suffering, the end of the journey. At the same time, it is also the memory of Anzhe

Ulysses' Gaze quotes

  • Taxi Driver: [talking to A] Know something? Greece is dying... We're dying as a people. We've come full circle. I don't know for how many thousands years, among broken stones and statues... and now we're dying. But if Greece is to die, she'd better do it quickly, because the agony lasts too long, and makes too much noise.

  • 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!
