let others evaluate Kang's life in three words: chaos, loneliness, unfulfilled ambitions
Let Kang evaluate his life in three words: lucky, contented, still unfinished
Looking at Kang's death, I keep thinking of high school Di, their greatness, the informal details of their lives, their love and dedication to art, even their last scene, dressed in shabby clothes, described as haggard, lying in the morgue unclaimed, and finally with the most beloved works. The moment of infinite care and loneliness walking into the grave is so similar. . .
There is such a type of people who are destined to be sad, and they are lucky because they have obtained too much satisfaction in the world of art and spirit. Art is their lifelong lover, she is everywhere, and she is everywhere. They are never alone. . .
A few details in the film particularly moved me. Kang, who has always been in a modernist atmosphere, finally found his own direction and what he believed could be preserved forever from his travels when he was 50 years old. Since then, he has devoted himself to it without hesitation. Discovering oneself and discovering the world should be the two most difficult things in the world. This moment of enlightenment is like a Taoist approaching Taoism or a master practicing. It takes many times of reflection and self-examination to get a momentary spiritual enlightenment. And the beauty and vividness of the natural psychic and God-breathing displayed in his works can be said to not come from spiritual enlightenment. Chatting with J that day, he suddenly asked, do you think design and creativity can really be trained. . . Yes, techniques can be trained, just like what we learn and teach in school, after training we can make architecture beautiful in form. But the verve of the work is hard to train, it's not a math problem, it's subtle. Different people do the same thing with completely different results. Hundreds of thousands of churches in the world have only one Holy Family, and hundreds of research institutes have only one Sock. This may not be learned from textbooks, but needs to be experienced and practiced in the world of life and art. This enlightenment may be to have all the techniques thoroughly familiarized in the heart, and then let go of all techniques to realize that the simplest thing in the heart is what you want and get, whether it is eternity, time, air, light, or something. . . All techniques are just means to assist in imparting this spirit to the design. The road is long and human life is too short. . .
In the last part of the movie, watching the Bangladesh National Assembly Hall, which was as long as the construction of the Taj Mahal, quietly experiencing the baptism of the rising sun day after day in the middle of the water, Louis Kahn is happy, he left the world with his ideals Eternity in the world, and the world gave him an eternal Louis Kahn.
