Outstanding poetic film (Director Tarkovsky’s Sacrifice)

The plot unfolds in Sacrifice Compared with the director's other films, the specific locations are more abstract and more symbolic: simple lines, harmony of scenery, freshness of colors , the extension of light becomes so simple and natural, giving people an impression of heavenly beauty. The director seems to be telling the audience that this is the life that humans should live. However, the director

emphasizes the reality of the protagonist's activity location in a single sense, and uses the protagonist's dialogue to express

his concern that humans may lose such a life. In this way, Andrei Tarkovsky reconstructed his personal harmony in "The Sacrifice", his first and last non-Russian film.

The world of God, and found myself in this world. And the world still associates him with the tradition of Russian culture and art.

It can be said that Alexander, the protagonist of "Sacrifice", is the director's second self. Through Alexander

the director expressed a Russian artist who was terminally ill, far away from his motherland, and worried about the world

The panic about the approaching nuclear disaster and the sacrifice of himself to save mankind. eager. In the film, when Alexander

said, "Humanity is on the wrong path, and this path is very dangerous," the still camera froze for a long time. Facing him from a distance, creating a strong visual effect. The scene of Alexander planting trees is also almost silent, with only the child wearing a white hat playing silently next to his father. The director uses this boy to hint at the future of mankind, which is always under nuclear threat. The scene in which Alexander prays to the witch Maria

Lea to save mankind is handled quite powerfully. In a long monologue in which Alexander tells the story of his painful mother's death, he recalls I wanted to tidy up the garden in my hometown, but it backfired and completely destroyed the natural beauty. This monologue confirms the protagonist's words in the film: "Once humans make major discoveries, they turn them into weapons. Everything that is not necessary for life is sin." Asia

< p>In order to obtain everything beyond daily life and beyond material things, Alexander burned down his home and passed on his beliefs to his children. A scene in the film is very touching. Shock: Alexander suddenly

saw his home separated from him, sitting at his feet like a small matchbox - he stared at this small piece of paradise, Like the Creator looking upon the sinful earth and holding the sacrificial butcher's knife over his head.

For the sake of human fraternity, he is prepared to make sacrifices and burn everything, including his family and himself

to the ground.

In the films designed by Tarkovsky, the intuitive world is never the scenery, props or social background.

It is not subordinate to the script in the sociological sense. . In his films, actors are not performing, but continuing the lives of people in the world in the film. In his works, people and objects are

independent and acting individuals. They are all full of pictorial significance, and their appearance here and now or at that time is by no means accidental, but because they are related to the second self of the film's author, the protagonist.

Get in touch. Recalling the old books,

wooden houses, icon paintings, mirrors, rain, etc. that often appear in all Tarkovsky's films, you can realize that in Tarkovsky In Tarkovsky's spiritual world, and in the artistic atmosphere of his films, these objects are necessary, and, through Tarkovsky's directorial composition , all these ordinary and mundane objects become sensitive and receptive.

Andrei Tarkovsky's attitude towards life should be considered dynamic. People with this kind of attitude are attracted to everything that is in motion, growing, and developing. Stillness, in his opinion, is unnatural and the end of life. Directors often convey their own opinions to the film's protagonists. The protagonist in "Stalker" said in his monologue: "When a person is born, he is weak and pliable; when a person dies, he is strong and cold. When trees When it grows, it is soft and flexible, and when it becomes dry and hard, it is about to die. "In fact, this monologue is about ancient times. Thoughts in the Tao Te Ching written by the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu: "Human beings are also weak in life, and they are strong in death. Plants and trees are also soft and fragile in life, and they are withered in death. Therefore, those who are strong are the disciples of death, and those who are weak are the disciples of life."

"Tarkovsky once said, "I feel that I am closer to the Eastern way of thinking, which is to arouse people's inner echoes instead of inducing them to fall into the trap of superficial rap. "After watching the film "Sacrifice" and then studying Tarkovsky's words carefully, the audience can appreciate the resonance between this great Russian artist's feelings about the world and Eastern art and Eastern philosophy: Understanding reality as mutable, thinking that the entire universe and every object in it is mutable, Tarkovsky conveys this passion to the protagonist of the film. , Alexander's birthday party was ruined by a thunder and lightning storm. Mysterious screams were heard in the distance, and news of a nuclear disaster was broadcast on the radio. Rain also played a role in several other Tarkovsky works. It has appeared many times as an important modeling method. Ancient Chinese philosophers believed that rain symbolizes the unity of heaven and earth, and reflects the power of "yin" and "yang". Creativity eventually became the basis for the existence of the universe and reality. Perhaps, Tarkovsky, who was deeply influenced by Eastern thinking, used a natural phenomenon like "rain" as a means to introduce reality into dynamics in his works. It is full of inner vitality. Due to the revelation of thunderstorm, Alexander is willing to make personal sacrifices to save mankind. It should also be emphasized that the tree that appears at the beginning and end of "Sacrifice" echoes this shape. In the process of processing, the director gives the "tree" the energy of image. "Water every day until the tree is alive." This is the dynamic attitude of Andrei Tarkov as an artist. Ski had the following explanation of "The Sacrifice" during his lifetime: "This film is a poetic allegory. Each episode can be interpreted differently. I am very aware that this film is inconsistent with the concepts accepted by people today." Objectively speaking, "Sacrifice", which shows the spiritual decadence of people in the nuclear age, is indeed a serious but confusing film. It It seems to be expressing an unspoken wish of the director: to let the audience interpret the image meaning of the material provided by the film themselves, so as to understand that this great Russian artist explained everything, awakened the world, and changed the world before he passed away. Desire. As an excellent poetic film and authorial film, "Sacrifice" will forever be remembered in the history of world cinema along with Andrei Tarkovsky's name.
