Mother history (part 1)
Being simple is the most difficulty action. ( Theo Anjelo Poulous) Weeping meadow is the simplest and intelligible and may be the bitterest , the most tragic, the most perfect and millions of the best adjectives among his work of art because don't see except true in it . Something like a secret or without answer happen . Also simple , not means close but full of freedom and many view in the shape of disbelief . View , not means fresh picture's and extreme long shut but views full of history and feel of heavy truth of person pain . If rely on said,s Angelo , when he want relate mother,s pains of now century and also with make a pause in front of Eleni,s name ( in Greek language it,s mean Greece) , couldn't interpret except mother,s history . ( Greece ) . Eleny,s life history is collection of pains . when she was child , her parents died and be come displaced , unwashed at teenager become mother . at young turn away of marry with old Aspiros and flight by son,s Spyros . Her husband let her ,his work caused it . She put in Jail for many years . Refuge of someone was revolutionary caused it . Her sons fight a war at two fronts and both of them died disbelief. And Finlay her husband,s letterer's read but very late . And she stay with predestination that,s unable Bitter word to explain . Eleni is self history . Anjelo take us to deep of the history with long shut and allow us to set thin king about it , with out any detour . blue color is color,s motherland Greek and faces remind blue and white Greek flag , in where like seaside chairs and explain Eleni,s predestination usual in following surface it . National and old Greeks custom consider in whole of film . Characters performance old theater of Greece like as traditional actors .
Where Spyros come to amphitheater and cry Eleni,s name . Homeless persons come out from booths of theater and see old Spyros that take a step slow on sen . He play your tragic role similar to real theater . At this special moment , show next tradition in cinema tradition to pay tribute to theater . In next place and while Spyros funeral ceremony , persons show live roles them selves in front of Angelo,s cine camera similar to actors of real theater and while dancing and special ceremonies of villages of Greek . Alexis and Eleni,s introduction to musician have shape of theater . Each musician come in frame , within a special distance and with musical sound , himself introduce to them .
Dance and music is other part of Greece,s culture that relate by Angelo . Spyros see the last dance him self by Eleni with his baby,s song , that able its call death dance . Perhaps in this picture's able think to Oedipus heavy shadow and homicide . Howker musicians and Nikos can be refuge for think to history , music and culture even in train plan where group with empty handed come back to city . Nicoss prostitution stage and her relation with one of soldiers in train show mythical and championship shapes Nikos come out with distressed shape from bathroom and meet Eleni look. She draw hand to her head in mythical from and said ;my hat
isn't my hat? Anjelo Poulous doesn't leave his poverty-stricken character suffering from prostituting his body and sympathetically makes Nikos seek for Identity, value and grave through a symbolic trilby. As if he want say; my Honor
..isn't my Honor;and painful is only and her look to history. In this special face ,that able understand it part of history ,all go to sleep and isn't someone except Eleni. Shes a wake and watchful and seeing this much pain. Able look at the film with two opposite shape,about go village under water. If understand Eleni's flight with Alexis is guilt,their presence and come up water its mean,people of village curse then them the people and Spyros . Spyros indecent behavior with Eleni and Alexis and village assist with Spyros involve in lasting curse at the village is the same big home that stay on it where Eleni and Alexis spend with their twins at night.
