想象

美丽的女伶（田原饰演）在一个美好温暖的庭院前弹奏、歌唱约翰列侬的Imagine(想象），而随着时间我们发现，这一切美好的图景只是她在战火中的美好想象。全片只有一个镜头，没有对白，导演希望通过非常简单美好的东西来呈现关于美的感官感受，在开篇完全让观众只沉浸在乐曲演唱的体验中，而后用鲜血与战火予以破坏，促进感官和情绪上的的悲哀和惋惜，引起反战思考。同时以这种方式提问“艺术”本身在战争中的地位，它是那么奢侈、但同时是又那么一文不值。这位固执的歌手对所谓“艺术”英雄主义地、视死如归地坚守、以及对战争的抵抗是带有某种悲剧色彩的，但也是一种时代希望。今年春天的那场战争开始以来，最让我痛苦的就是看到网友的好斗言论，仿佛大家很难站在“普通人”的角度去体会战争。这部影片，我刻意避开所有时间、地域、权力的标识，尝试以无国界无时限的方式呈现广义上的“战争”本身带给普通人的伤害。希望能由此唤起大家最贴近人性的、最普通的心灵感受。
The beautiful diva (played by Tian Yuan) plays and sings John Lennon’s Imagine in front of a nice warm courtyard. And as time goes by we find out that all this beautiful picture is just her beautiful imagination in the midst of the war. There is only one shot in the whole film and no dialogue. The director wants to present the sensory feeling about beauty through something very simple and beautiful. In the opening scene, the audience is completely immersed in the experience of singing the music, and then destroyed by blood and war, promoting sensory and emotional sorrow and regret, and causing anti-war thinking. In this way, the audience is asked about the place of “art” itself in the war: it is so extravagant, but at the same time so worthless. The stubborn singer’s heroic, death-defying commitment to so-called “art” and resistance to war is somewhat tragic, but also a hope for the times. Since the war began this spring, the most painful thing for me has been to see the militant comments of netizens, as if it is difficult for people to appreciate the war from the perspective of “ordinary people”. In this film, I deliberately avoided all signs of time, place and power, and tried to present the harm brought to ordinary people by the “war” itself in a broad sense, without borders or time limits. I hope that this will evoke the most human and ordinary feelings of our hearts.
