When we encounter a beautiful object, such as a flower or a mountain lake, we may, if we are in a suitable frame of mind, lose ourselves in contemplation of it. At such times, our ego, our desire, our will, is temporarily quieted. We appreciate the object not for what it is in relation to ourselves, but simply for what it is in itself. We take a disinterested pleasure in it.

For as long as this aesthetic experience lasts, we are freed from our ordinary, self-conscious way of apprehending the world. We enjoy, for a time, the profound tranquillity of will-less contemplation.

When we contemplate the sublime, we don't so much forget ourselves as free ourselves. We don't lose consciousness of the will and its desires, but instead are liberated from them. And this gives rise to a kind of rapture, to, in Schopenhauer's words, a 'state of elevation'.

Thank you anon. I watched it in theaters. Truly a beautiful movie.

Here's a recommendation from me: please watch Train Dreams :)

“When you utter the phrase “God is Greater” in all sincerity, His greatness is personified before you, and thus, nothing else finds enough significance to be flattered or feared or shown humbleness. In this way, devotion to God brings freedom. You become God’s servant, but free in relation to everything else.”
