Human mind, to what extend it can be used, the possibilities is still a mystery. We know so little of it.
‘Can events to follow can be changed simply by power of your thought’ is one of my fundamental thinking over the year.
I have been trying to explore the mind and getting myself trapped in the dark avenues many times.
One of the directors I admire for his successful cinematic depiction of minds path to (through) such avenue is Krzysztof Kieślowski, the Polish legend. In his movie ‘The Double Life of Véronique’ {a polish/French (Italian?) bi (tri) lingual made in 1993} he has beautifully tried to portray human feelings in celluloid.
The possibilities of exploration and directing the future of a person by free will is what a puppeteer in this movie was trying to do and getting little success also. It is a subplot but I was fascinated as the thought of the plot and convinced him to portray it in the movie. The question that bugs like ‘are we puppet in the hand of some unknown ventriloquist ‘Are we creator of our own destiny’,’is everything happening here is predestined or coincidence’ are best explored in this film. The best part of is that it do not answer any of the question, it just portrays the visual narration of human mind through breathtaking cinematography, editing and script (or the thematic plot).
Rightly so because the same thing is perceived so differently by different people.So why should we go for a totalirian ending to such a difficult question?
'Human mind, to what extend it can be used, the possibilities is still a mystery. We know so little of it.' The same applies no doubt to emotions, presentiments & intuition. The inner person. Even 'déjà vu'. I have often wondered what it is that connects people. I have a website which explores various topics that Kieslowski raises in his later films that might interest you. It is called The Theatre Of The Third Kind. Feel free to visit. I bid you a good day.
