      Memory Puzzle about "Last Year at Marienbad"

      Many of the pretending films I have seen recently are inexplicably embarrassing, but going back to the works of the masters, there is indeed not a single detail that is not smooth, not particular, and not beautiful. I don't know much about film history, but this film uses a shooting technique that seems to be imitated by many later blockbusters. Interspersed narratives are like oil paintings, with...

      Don't ask what was said, nothing was said.

      Please stop asking what the film is about, this is a very low-level question. Some films do not exist to narrate or create and resolve conflicts, and the events in this film are not the core content of the film's expression. Like music, there are many genres of movies. If music is allowed to include jazz, electronic metal, rock, hip-hop, pop, and classical, can't movies be allowed to have other presentation methods? It can be said that you don't like it, please don't open your mouth and shut...

      The whole garden looks like it's just you and me

      Well, a little bit of thought after reading it (in fact, I should start writing after reading it).

      I was extremely bored last night (actually, I watched too many movies during the day until I got tired at night...), but I didn't plan to watch black and white movies. The two tones seemed a bit depressing. My viewing habits were randomly selected because yesterday Boring at night, I chose a movie that commented that it was boring and wanted to see how boring it was. . (.Really...

      Existential events in Marienbad

      "Last year in this door today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. The peach blossoms were still smiling in the spring breeze." , or even being bullied by local gangsters, gangsters, dignitaries, nobles, local tyrants, nurturing, buying, selling, playing hide-and-seek?

      Cui Hu was very disappointed that his wish could not be fulfilled, but he still used the peach blossom smile to cover up his frustration. Even if things do not want to admit, even if they do happen,...

      Void memory and existence

      One of the most boring art films I've ever seen, surreal style, excellent photography, editing and scene scheduling. In the monologue and narrative of the male protagonist, the so-called past and present images are seamlessly broadcast back and forth, the scenes and dialogues deliberately erase the order of time and space, split the logic of time and space, and highlight the void of memory and reality. Is memory a disappeared existence? Is reality real? In the complex and maze-like...

      There are so many formal elements that can be dissected, such as the atonal soundtrack, the highly simplified scene design, and some of the first-perspective camera angles. What's great is how the new novel of "Zero Narrative" goes beyond the scope of writing and extends to the image, which is in a different medium. The problem of presenting the same aesthetics and philosophy...

      The first Rene. More and more I feel that the degree of recognition of works is closely related to "order": "Room" abandons the order of words and deeds, and forms an "incomprehensible and understandable" unfavorable relationship with the audio-visual construction consciousness that tends to zero indefinitely; The only order preserved in "Last Year" happens to be people's words and deeds. At the same time, images are used to destroy the real order of time and space to the greatest extent...

      The sense of form goes further than "Hiroshima Love". Rather, it should be seen as a work by Greer, with Resnais merely an intermediary between text and image, a shabby, labyrinthine baroque geometrically symmetrical composition. The entanglement of reality and memory is intertwined. The perfect use of language such as separation of sound and picture, moving shots, jumping, etc. constitutes an analogy to the subconscious. Reality and fiction are blurred by skeptical existentialism about the...

      Everyone around me was listless or asleep when I rewatched it in the movie theater, but I was just as excited as I was when I first watched...

    Evaluation action

    The main characters of "L'Annee Derniere a Marienbad" did not appear until 15 minutes after the beginning of the film, completely abandoning the character and even individual-centered theatrical structure of Hollywood. This is not just an innovation in film techniques in a pure sense, but more importantly. Movies are embodied by literary elements and mental control. Many actions of the heroine in the film are unclear, making it...

    Movie quotes

    • [X wanders through the hotel's corridors cataloging items he sees]

      X: Empty salons. Corridors. Salons. Doors. Doors. Salons. Empty chairs, deep armchairs, thick carpets. Heavy hangings. Stairs, steps. Steps, one after the other. Glass objects, objects still intact, empty glasses. A glass that falls, three, two, one, zero. Glass partition, letters.

    • X: I must have you alive. Alive, as you have already been every evening, for weeks, for months.

      A: I have never stayed so long anywhere.

      X: Yes, I know. I don't care. For days and days. Why don't you still want to remember anything?

      A: You're raving! I'm tired, leave me alone!

    • X: [Last Lines] The grounds of the hotel were symmetrically arranged, without trees or flowers, or plants of any kind. The gravel, the stone, and the marble were spread in strict array in unmysterious shapes. At first sight, it seemed impossible to lose your way. At first sight... Along these stone paths and amidst these statues, where you were already losing your way forever in the still night, alone with me.
