La Chimera

one word lingered in my mind throughout the film: disregard. the film shows several personal tragedies. the tragedy of a lover, the tragedy of a daughter, but what I thought about the most was the disregard shown toward the memories that were left behind. the graves are treated not as sacred resting places but as something to be used for their selfish needs. their belongings are considered objects of value.  this film is compelling because it shows loss and how easily people can disregard the memory of others when greed has taken over.    the headless statue. something that belonged to everyone can seem more of a reason to steal. “you’re not made for human eyes”  it showed that at some point Arthur will realize right over wrong and say “you’re not made for human eyes” to the headless statue. leaving resentment from his associates, but a different nature to his morals.  the music playing throughout was a cherry on top to the story and showing the roles of the characters.  after the movie: wow that ending hurt. I’m now thinking Arthur continued to search through graves because he lost all hope and desires after his love had passed. seeing the string symbolizing she was maybe still around, for him to finally find her. fucking hell i’m sad.
