    History is always shockingly real. We assume these things will only happen once, at a time and place. Thinking that oil evolved from the corpses of ancient animals, these animals and corpses also include people, and we drive cars and burn gasoline, just watch the development of industrial civilization with such peace of...

    "Film is closely related to reality, and reality has nothing to do with representation.) The highest level of creation is the height of thought, and mise-en-scene montages are clouds. (Serge Daney described "Night and Fog" as follows:" When I was twelve or thirteen years old, watching this film was like a heavy blow. This short film tells us that the existence of movies, the existence of concentration camps, the existence of evil, and the existence of people, we have never...

    A return and questioning that is doomed to be fruitless since the beginning of the day, the insurmountable gap between the archives and the truth is more profoundly revealed by the stacking of numerous visual evidences. Compared with the images that are still dripping with blood even though they are engraved on black and white film, what is even more reflective is the "normalization" and standardization of the design and operation of the concentration camp by the Nazis - the concentration camp...

    It is completely different from the "direct film" documentary creation method pioneered by Jean Rouch, and it is also different from the intuitive presentation of ethnography. No matter what type of subject matter the images of the concentration camp are placed in, the effect that can be achieved has always been single and fixed, but Resnais' attempt is to re-end the existing material with a deeper meaning based on the distance between the viewer and the image. : The narrator talks about...

    The biggest sigh of course comes from real power, piles of hair like mountains, soap made of human fat, corpses carried by bulldozers, piles of heads in a basin, skinny to the point where only skeletons with flesh on dicks are left, What is made of human skin, etc., is absolutely shocking.

Night and Fog quotes

  • Récitant/Narrator: With our sincere gaze we survey these ruins, as if the old monster lay crushed forever beneath the rubble. We pretend to take up hope again as the image recedes into the past, as if we were cured once and for all of the scourge of the camps. We pretend it happened all at once, at a given time and place. We turn a blind eye to what surrounds us and a deaf ear to humanity's never-ending cry.

  • Récitant/Narrator: 1933 - The machine gets under way. The nation must all sing the same song, with no wrong notes.
