Days of Heaven
An art film focuses more on aesthetic beauty rather than commerciality. Days of Heaven is an example of a film of art. This film is an expression of how desperate people are to escape poverty. It evokes the feelings of loneliness and how freedom makes people happy. This film possesses a unique composition of art and sound (Geranfar, 2017)). The film incorporates catchy visuals and related songs to develop the plot of the film. The music in the film is slow and indicates sadness, pain, and regret of the characters. Objects projected on the screen are inherently reflexive they occur as self-referential reflecting upon their own origins (Geranfar, 2017). This film puts more emphasis on entertaining the views through visual art other than giving the meaning of the film. This has made it one of the most beautiful films produced.
Plato describes love as a desire for something that people lack(Knuuttila, 2018). A lover starts by identifying someone who he desires physically because of the outward beauty. The lover realizes that physical beauty exists in many people and should not form the basis of love. The lover then realizes that the beauty of the soul is more important than physical beauty. He will then start appreciating the moral beauty. He will then focus on the desire for knowledge which helps him understand all forms of beauty.
Aristotle uses the word love interchangeably with friendship. Aristotle describes that people fall in love if they have virtual similarities. This kind of love is likely to thrive and last long. He describes that one can fall in love with someone because he is good, he is pleasant or he is valuable(Knuuttila, 2018). Aristotle explains the perfect and imperfect relationships. Perfect relationships are formed by people who spend time together and engage in similar activities and focus on developing each other. The imperfect relationships exist if the partners are together just for pleasure.
