Some people say that Anzhe's long shots are so fascinating that I was sucked in with all my heart.
After revisiting Anzhe's Journey to Seter Island, I was once again struck by its attraction.
This is the first part of Anzhe's [Silent Trilogy], which tells the story of individuals trapped in the great changes of history, unable to settle down, unable to calm the spirit.
Exploring the opposition between the past and the present, the pain of exile and return, as well as the estrangement of communication, the illusion and meaning of love, the loneliness of existence, etc., it leads us to a journey of spiritual exploration.
Spillo, a lonely old man with white hair.
After a long period of exile in the Soviet Union, he finally returned to his native Greece after 32 years.
It's a journey back home and a journey to find yourself.
And his return, without the imaginary closeness, seems to be incompatible with everything here.
The appearance of old friends is more noisy and embarrassing memories flashing, and less heart-warming in-depth communication.
His daughter was angry about his runaway years ago, and it was only at his initiative that she was hugged.
His wife, Viterina, has mixed feelings for him, expecting his presence but also dissatisfied with his rebuilding of the family.
Soon after meeting his family, he chose to leave silently, and his son Alexander accompanied him to the inn where he lived when he was young.
Revisiting the old land, the young wife, the youthful self, the warm emotional restlessness, these have lost too many happy shadows, only alienation and sadness hit the heart.
The family returned to the village where they had lived for many years, blew up the familiar bird language, and there was only one old friend of the year, and more partners had become tombstones.
Today's villagers have moved out of the village and are selling their land, and the once beloved homeland is no longer cherished by people now.
And Spillo, who has no home, is extremely eager for the warmth of this land, does not agree to sell the land to affect the interests of others, and he is treated unfriendly by the villagers.
Then, after a fire, Spyro also disappeared, and the police searched day and night to no avail, and finally found him with the help of his old friend's bird talk.
Viterina took Spiro's hand and burst into tears: You haven't changed, you always leave when you're afraid.
The two people in the cold wind, warm inside each other, like a painting slowly disappearing into our eyes.
Then, Spillo, who has no identity, faces the cruel fate of being expelled once again.
Fortunately, Viterina, who loved him deeply, stood firmly in his position and chose to go with him.
The police took him to the old pier, still missing the opportunity to board the ship.
In the heavy rain, Spillo was placed on a partition in the middle of the sea, while a group of people on the shore were performing a joyful performance.....
After years of wandering, he became a superfluous person.
It seems that the life that was once owned, once beat, can never be found in this land.
Eventually, Spero and his lover of many years drift on the shore of the Aegean Sea forever.....
Watched Angelopoulos's Journey to Saipan and was satisfied with a long absence.
Many people think that this film is more boring, in fact, it is not, in addition to the iconic long shots, poetic scenes, alienating temperament, there are many points worth recalling.
If you look closely, you will find that Anze is particularly good at slowly stretching and amplifying the faint emotions, and then in different places, the emotions in people's hearts burst out.
For example, the first time I watched it, I didn't understand why the old man's words and behavior were so strange and unconventional, until the old man was treated with incomprehension and unfriendliness when he returned to his hometown, and I entered the role of the old man, and later the old man was isolated in the sea in the rain, and when his wife discussed his problems with others, my inner sadness and sadness could no longer be suppressed.
It turns out that everything in front of them is laying the groundwork, all for their warm embrace near the end, and more people's emotions will explode here.
When I watched it for the second time, after paying attention to a lot of details, I found that the film was as netizens said that the old man's return journey could be said to be a fantasy in the mind of his son Alexander.
It turns out that Seter Island doesn't really exist.
It turns out that from the beginning of life to the end, we are all lonely and detached from everything in the world, and those lingering loneliness belong to the ultimate wandering of life, and no one can change it.
As netizens said: I believe that every modern person who wanders with the earth can find resonance in the distant and magnificent "Journey to Seter Island".
Yes, the identityless Spyro is a naked wanderer, and Alexander, who is practicing all this in his mind, is not a wandering wanderer, and each of us is not constantly looking for a wandering wanderer in the vast passage of time?
Every wandering individual may not be able to change the uncontrollable disappearance, the feelings and infatuations of the past, and even the fate of loneliness, but always believe in something (such as love), so that the heart will be happy.
There's a quote in the movie that I remember vividly: What frightens me is that I often find myself not believing anything anymore, and then I look at myself, and it 's only thing that reminds me that I still exist.
How sad, how sentimental.
All this is not the consequence of the lack of love.
Once people lack love, they will be unable to control their thoughts, and when love is less restrained, emotions will become no longer pure, and people's spirit will easily sink and thus fall into the contradiction of the void.
