The Candle -- godspeed you! black emperor - tarkovsky

[SunshineInWoods]

The Italian part is impressing... I would like to understand what is said at the beginning...

[rshagdamova]

"why i have to think about it? or i maybe don't have my own troubles? but dear God why? why i have done that? that's my children, my family, the ones from my blood! how could i.. haven't seen the sun for years, afraid of daylight.. what was that for?"

he's thinking about that man who'll make his speech in a minute. this man was hiding his family for years, waiting for an apocalypse. you should see this movie. there's no point in trying to retell...

when its near end of the speech the narrator say , in italian : I sacrifice myself to return under the shape of a catastrophy to tell you that we have to serve the planet and not live as violence and competition but more like the first human animals to learn that life is simple .

[UnivocalTrash]

Powerful, but I wish I knew more about the movie.

[SimonPeggIsMyHero]

Nostalgia is tarkovskys last film, he only made 7 throughout his life, they are all filmed in similar styles and rely heavily on long drawn out shots. His most well-known is probably 'solaris' which was remade by steven soderbergh, starring george cloony.

[LXJRGNSN]

Um, his last movie was The Sacrifice.

[SimonPeggIsMyHero]

so it was

[Mavin104]

Solaris was frakking amazing. I enjoyed both versions heavily.

[spetsnaz5]

They match well.

i was cutting video stuff to make it fit to the rythm of music. in fact this episode is not the main idea of tarkovsky movie (have you seen it?) so current clip is kinda semantic syncope. to my mind this very episode in ideological plane ring the bell with godspeed music. in fact i've just combined one of my favorite film director and my favorite band. i'm glad that you've appreciate it!
