The Mirror

I get it. It’s artsy. This was quite an interesting movie which I think I enjoyed. But I’d love to re watch it. After the first twenty minutes, I wanted nothing more than for this director to make horror movies. That would be so creepy and disturbing.
The moment I realized this movie would be different was when maybe the barn was burning, and if not, definitely when the mother was washing here hair. The way she pulls her long, wet hair over her head so slowly, looks so cool! In that position, you wouldn’t want to get water everywhere, but she seemed to be abstractly moving so slowly. First, the way her shoulders were arranged looked so cool! It makes you start to think, “is she staring right at me?!” When that was followed by the dream sequence of the ceiling falling, I wanted more and more. If this man did Horror, it could have been so terrifying, I wouldn’t have wet myself, I would simply marvel at how beautiful it would be.
Is Tarkovsky the Russian David Lynch? Just Russian and not horror is the only difference? Because they’re just both directors meant to not provide a story but give you an eerie experience. It’s a completely different reason to like a movie. Not because of the wonderful writing, or from the acting, but mostly done as a whole. What I mean is, in an experience film like this, everything fits together to make it a wonderful experience. It gives you an atmosphere that keeps you still, and makes you filled with rage if someone starts talking in the quietest of scenes.
For this movie, there’s nothing much to say. It’s another movie on my list that I don’t want to hear the opinions of others. Well, jus the opinions would be okay, but I don’t want to hear it broken down scientifically. Strictly because there’s no fact to really prove. It would just sound stupid if someone tries to tell us what to think. It’s an art film. I hope somebody doesn’t tear it down into elements. That’s science. Not art. We don’t do that here.
