      The inner cry of the heroine seems to have ripped me alive

      I also want to pray for destruction in the extreme of sensuality, as if all uneasy responses and belongings can be sublimated at that moment.

      Craving a dominant relationship? Or longing for the value of being used? My heart is as wandering as hers. I suffer, I cry, I cry, and I can only hear...

      yes, yes, no, yes, no, no, no

      Many years ago, it should have been a rare holiday afternoon when I went to the city on a day when I was not going to school, and I read this book while sitting in the bookstore. At that time, I often read romance novels, how could I understand anything. I just remember the chatter between the two of them in the first half, and the drowsy holiday afternoon. Later, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I was very sleepy and tired, and I could not sleep, I often thought of...

      love fallacy

      What should I say, its main core is romance films, followed by ethics films and philosophical films. Or you don't need to go too deep into it, this is the true portrayal of you and me who are ups and downs in the cold and warm human feelings in the world, a more illusory but incompetent and ridiculous. It still reminds you and me deeply: nothing lasts forever.

      Whether it was the moment when you and I first met, or the love and pain that I once thought was...

      It came to an abrupt end with endless meaning and nothingness.

      The sensational world movie "Hiroshima Love" is the representative work of French left bank director Alain Resnais, and it is also a classic representative of stream-of-consciousness movies. Although it is a black and white film, the overall picture composition and lines are very meticulous and exquisite, and it is also a classic of the times. The whole film is very different in terms of tone. A married woman and a married man fall in love quickly and madly in the war-torn land...

      The short is the memory, the eternal is the forgetting

      The second Alain Resnais I watched, the first was "Last Year at Marienbad" after he continued this film. Although I can't do an in-depth analysis, some of his styles are roughly the same: panning, long-mirror empty shots, which he prefers to shoot buildings; poetic lines, although he did not write either, but he prefers to use lyrical narration. , mostly in the form of voice-over and smooth shots, and the literary temperament emerges spontaneously; disorderly editing,...

      The predecessor of Madrid Umbard, the language of stream of consciousness is still immature: the camera movement is too abrupt. The stream of consciousness should throw out the clutter to achieve a kind of continuous peace; it could be Bud's dramatic arrangements and slow camera movements, or a more modern approach could be close-handed and illusory backgrounds. Through the simple exchange of subjects through language, the confusion of space and time is directly caused by the cut mirror. The...

      Revisit! Behind the two forbidden loves is the redemption and spiritual reconstruction after the brutal killing of human wars. In the first 15 minutes of the film, Rene used a large number of documentary scenes after the Hiroshima bombing to match the women's ravings, as if giving up the narrative, but after the In that great scene of gradually stacking emotions, we found that the woman's ripped hands, shaved hair and desperate cries under the cellar are like the burnt skin of the survivors...

      The psychological aspect is quite well described, and the interlacing of time and space caused by the two cities is also performed quite well. It's just a pity that the second half did not deepen the accusation or reflection on the nuclear war. It seems that I have completely indulged in a period of adolescence and personal pain caused by history; the first half caused physical discomfort, which is too unsuitable for eating. . And I feel that the "peaceful" film shot in the film is too formal...

    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,...

    The connotation or theme of the film is obviously extremely complex, ambiguous and obscure. From the explicit level, it is roughly love, peace and anti-war, fraternity, humanity and humanitarianism. On a deeper level, the film expresses themes of time, memory and forgetting. As a representative work of the "New Wave" and "Left Bank", which is an organic composition of Western modernism in the twentieth century, "Hiroshima, My Love"...
