Fragments, Impressions and Others

On a sultry summer evening, I was invited to watch this movie. I was sweating non-stop along the way, and my whole body was like a lotus leaf. The theater is not big, and although the level is not low, there is no equipment that can exaggerate the sound and picture, which is also reassuring, and I feel a little kind of the movie I watch.
The whole film stumbles forward amid the audience's laughter and banter, until Dumbledore and Harry come to the cave where the third "horcrux" is hidden. The camera suddenly turned into a wide-angle perspective, and all you could see was the turbulent, tangled and struggling sea and the steep and dark cliffs washed by the sea. Aside from the film's changes to the original, this scene alone is a symbolic one. Foucault called the "sea" directly as "Satan's mysterious sea" in "Madness and Civilization", which is the point of no return to abandon attachment, warmth, entanglement and bondage. The appearance of the ocean makes us have to revisit a topic: the sense of innovation and expedition in Western thinking and the distant perspective and the resulting sense of desolation, insecurity and loneliness in the heart. This is the undertone that Rowling cannot lose, the undertone of the British. The island nation's long-standing legacy of leniency and eccentric hobbies allows even the most exhilarating and poetic twilight walkers to walk in the woods, in addition to feeling the tremors brought about by the solemn and profound ups and downs of nature, but also a A warm heart tossed in the icy bones under the land covered with rigorous and noble rose petals. This is the life and death, the light and the dark, the huge whirlpool of reality and the tragic personal hero that the British cannot forget. ——This is the ethos of the Anglo nation. It may be said that the Anglo nation shared and tried to present a certain temperament for human beings.
When Dumbledore and Harry came to the cave, the old headmaster used a sharp weapon to separate his hands, made a contract with blood, and opened the dark hole. This reminds me of God's "blood" repeatedly mentioned in the Bible. As a mark or bargaining chip of redemption, as Dumbledore himself said, the appearance of blood is to "show weakness", which seems quite unusual compared to the status and relationship between man and God in religion. After entering the cave, the film seems to present another legend consciously or unintentionally: Styx-Pluto. And when Dumbledore struggled between resistance and promise to drink the potion, there seemed to be another strong feeling that told me about the symbolism of the scene. But this feeling is unclear and uncertain, and it is forgotten after the next second of the picture appears. And then came another story: Moses - the Red Sea. When Harry fell into the water and nearly died, he saw fire, red fire, spreading and burning on the water; and when Dumbledore called "Vulcan make the way" (translated so, reluctantly to quote), two walls of fire towered high When the way out is revealed, the outline of the whole fable becomes clearer.
When the paragraph ends, all the emotions are once again lingering. Suddenly, I heard a voice in the theater: "Dumbledore is responsible for all the sins alone." My whole body suddenly tightened - Moses, Jesus, is there such a huge hidden behind Dumbledore? Fable Pillar? I dare not think about it any longer.
It was midnight after the movie was shown, and the streets outside the door were still bustling and noisy. With the sound of dissatisfaction in my ears, I turned my eyes to the bumpy streets: the evening wind in Fuxia is warm and broad, yet worldly and bloated, it is wrapped in the real and noisy sounds of the world , keep wandering--I think, since those criticisms are allowed, there should be some other voices. With this thought in his mind, the whole person is also awe-inspiring in the dark.
