The Goal Of Our Fight For Immortality Is The Freedom Of Mankind

Life and death are linked in a continuous game, where immortality is achieved by contributing to social evolution.

The basic theme of the movie "Que viva Mexico" is: life, death, immortality. Own, older thoughts are mixed here with those born from the atmosphere of Mexico. The artist poses the problem of death and immortality. Biologically we are mortal. Immortality can only be achieved through our contribution to social activity. We are one of those who pass the baton of evolution from the previous generation to the next. "The goal of our fight for immortality, of the people who passed through the volcano of the socialist revolution - thinks Eisenstein - is the freedom of mankind".

The thoughts provoked by the bullfights, which symbolized and metaphorized the general idea in their concreteness, are now reborn in the artist's thinking with another force, in other dimensions. Now takes place the genesis of this guiding thread that orders all the impressions in these worlds, transforming the swirl of sensations into a precise unfolding of the theme. In the gestation of the work, not only the multitude of perceived facts is mirrored, but the very dynamics of the creation process.

This uplifting path to a new life, to new ideas is no longer a simple compositional formula, but the theme itself in the form of a vivid, plastic image, born of countless faces, images, events, customs, festivities, happenings, in which the gods of life and those of death cross their paths. It is a game of life and death here, a contest between life and death.

Can you bring out the essence of your soul and create a work that transcends the borders of nations, illustrating freedom as a catalyst for evolution?

Why should we consider human rights? Why should we prioritize the freedom of nations or individuals instead of viewing the world as one unitary organism? Many people ask the question of life and death, immortality. They believe that we are biologically mortal, but immortality can only be achieved by our contribution to social activity, passing the baton of evolution from the previous generation to the next. The goal of our struggle for immortality, of people who have passed through the volcano of socialist revolution, is the freedom of humanity.

As we move through history, we can see the genesis of such a future, ordering the impressions of the past into a coherent line. The thoughts provoked by the bullfights, which symbolized and metaphorized the general idea in their concreteness, are now reborn in the artist's thinking with another force, in other dimensions. Now takes place the genesis of this leading thread which orders all the impressions in these worlds, which turns the swirl of sensations into a precise unfolding of theme. The creative process of mankind is reflected in the dynamics of this process. In the gestation of the work, not only the multitude of perceived facts is mirrored, but the very dynamics of the creative process.

This uplifting path to a new life, to new ideas is no longer a simple compositional formula, but the theme itself in the form of a living, plastic image, born of countless faces, images, events, customs, festivities, happenings, in which the gods of life and the dead cross paths. It is a game of life and death here, a race between life and death. However, the question remains: are we capable of transcending our biological selves and achieving immortality, or are we destined to remain essentially mortal?

Always when an artist refers to leadership, he takes into account the following aspect: "The multitude of facts perceived in the unfolding of the work reveals the genesis of an ordered future through the dynamics of the creative process."

Can the virtue of the struggle against the social order become a powerful symbol in your work, offering a vision of human freedom that transcends mortal limits? How can the artist's thinking bring to light the relevance of the struggle for immortality through his creation, forcefully reborn to other dimensions of existence?

The goal of our fight for immortality is the freedom of mankind, especially in the case of artists who put their heart and soul into their work. Can the dynamics of humanity's creative process bring out the virtues of the artist who transforms the swirl of sensations into a precise unfolding of the chosen theme? How can humanity's creative process reveal the guiding thread that orders all the impressions of the past in a coherent line toward a future of human freedom?
