Hiroshima Mon Amour artistic technique

The film not only has the creator's unique style, but also has a strong literary flavor. It is called "an epoch-making work in the history of Western film from the traditional period to the modern period". The film does not continue the positive documentary description of the brutal war in the traditional sense, but hides the war behind a love story, breaks the three time and space boundaries of the past, present and future in editing, and uses the narrative structure of flashback without skill to dilute the time. At the same time, it uses sound and picture to counterpoint, the picture is Navel, and the sound comes from Hiroshima. So far, the past and the present are blended together, which more profoundly expresses the alienation of the human spirit and the external world by war. For the first time in the film, there is a curious and novel narrative technique, implanted with surrealism and stream of consciousness, which makes the film completely break with the traditional realistic performance based on the setting of an omniscient narrator. The monologue of one or more characters replaces the fixed narrator, and the audience needs to abandon the old laws and experience the film in a new way. In addition, Lei Nai also used a lot of newsreels to show the tragic war in the film. Different from general citations, the use of newsreel materials in the film completed a qualitative change from realism to symbolism .
