I always thought the movie "Mozart" was an allegory about death and writing. The man in black who was chasing "Requiem" seemed to be the urging force of death hanging high above his head. Perhaps, writing is to reassure the soul, to prove to the world after death that one has been here (for example, Stendhal's epitaph "lived, wrote, loved"), in order to let oneself in the world of others continue to survive. Confucius said, "A gentleman has no life, so his name is not good." Tai Shigong said, "In ancient times, those who were rich and noble and their names were wiped out are invincible, but only those who are suave and romantic are called." Xiao Mo Qi said that.
It is true that Xiao Mo's music is full of sunshine and love, but we should know that Xiao Mo also once said, "I have tasted death with my tongue." In the first movement of his "Piano Concerto No. 20" , we seem to hear the magnificent death note of Requiem wandering through it. "Requiem" is not an accident, Xiao Mo has always been writing for the other side, and has always been living towards death. Life without death has no thickness. Only death can make life look back on itself, discover its beauty, let it flow to the future, or overcome its own evil, and the quality is pure and pure. I watched Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" a few days ago, and the clerk Ilyich went straight to the moment of death and felt that he was "not living right". And those who can write are lucky, they have been subjected to the torture of death.
"Philosophy is the study of death" (Plato's Phaedo), and so is art.
