Chapter 30 life is like a dream (2)

13. Eternity At nine o'clock in the evening, I put the videotape of Yasujiro Ozu's film "Sisters of Munekata" into the VCR.This is at least the tenth Yasujiro Ozu film I've seen this month.Want to ask why?That's because Yasujiro Ozu is a genius who freed me from the shackles of my biological fate. It all came from something I said to my petite librarian, Angela, one day, and I said I would like to have the chance to see Wim Wenders Wim Wenders (1953-), German film director, His major works include "Paris, Texas", "American Friend", "Under the Sky of Berlin", "Until the End of the World", and "Days Above the Clouds". --Yizhu's early works, she said to me: "Ah, have you seen "Looking for Ozu"? It's an incredible documentary about Ozu Yasujiro, obviously, anyone who has seen "Looking for Ozu" will be very hopeful I have a closer contact with Yasujiro Ozu." Since then, I have really begun to understand Ozu's films. This is the first time in my life that I can regard art films as a kind of entertainment, which can make me happy and let me A form of entertainment.

I put on the movie and sip jasmine tea.Sometimes thanks to this great secular rosary called the remote, I can rewind and watch over and over again. This is a special scene. The father played by Ozu Yasujiro's beloved general, actor Li Zhizhong, he is the soul of Ozu's works, an excellent actor, full of vigor and humility, in the film, he plays the father who will soon die, and his daughter Shijinzi Chatting about their previous trips in Kyoto.They are drinking sake. Father: "Look at that Xifang Temple! The moss looks even more dazzling under the sun." Shi Jinzi: "Look there are camellias on it."

Father: "Oh, you noticed that too? How beautiful! (Pause) In ancient Japan, there were many beautiful things. (Pause) To think that everything is bad, I think it's a bit extreme." The film then continues, with a final scene at the end of the credits featuring a conversation between Setsuko and her capricious little sister Mariko in a park. Shi Jinzi, with a radiant face: "Tell me, Mariko, why do you think the mountains in Kyoto are purple? Mariko, naughty: "Haha, really, it looks like red bean cake!" Shi Jinzi, smiling: "This color is really beautiful."

In this film, there are stories about broken relationships, arranged marriages, sibling conflicts, the death of a father, old and new Japan, and alcoholism and violence among men. But it is also the fact that we Westerners cannot escape and that only Japanese culture can explain.That's why these two short scenes, without any explanation and without any clear motivation in the plot, can produce such a powerful emotion, yet can use the theme of the whole movie in such a concise and difficult way. Descriptive fragments to interpret it? That's the essence of cinema. Shi Jinzi: "The real new will never become obsolete with the passage of time."

The camellias on the moss of the temple, the purple on the mountains of Kyoto, the blue and white porcelain cups, the pure beauty that blooms in the fleeting passion, isn't it what we long for?Will we, who belong to Western civilization, never be able to touch it? Admire eternity in the ebb and flow of life.World Sports Journal III Come on and catch up with her! I sometimes think that there are still people who don't have a TV at home!So what will they do?As for me, I kill time in front of the TV.I turn off the sound and just watch the TV screen.It's like seeing something through an X-ray.If you turn off the sound, you're actually removing the beautiful silk wrapper that wraps the two-euro shoddy.If you look at a TV news report this way, you will understand that there is no connection between each image, the only thing that makes them related is the narrator, who makes some sequential images into a series of real events.

All in all, I like watching TV.This afternoon, I saw an interesting human movement: diving competition.It's a rerun of the World Diving Championships, divided into designated freestyle or freestyle, men's or women's diving, but it's the pair diving that particularly interests me.In addition to the plethora of spins, jumps, and somersaults that showcase individual skills, the movements of the two athletes must be synchronized.It's not almost in sync, no: it's completely in sync, which is only one-thousandth of a difference.
