/ He said there is only one movie that can describe that impossible memory, the crazy memory, Hitchcock's Vertigo. Hitchcock didn't create anything, it's already there, the horse's eyes are the same as Madeleine's
/He likes these vulnerable moments stuck in time
/People who have nothing, people who are empty, people of all kinds, honestly, don't you think it's a stupid thing to tell these people not to look at the camera, as taught in film school?

Read your letter and follow it
After watching "The Man with the Camera", I reorganized some of my cognitions about the film. If Gilsten Johnson reorganizes the fragmented images into a mixed theme in the form of a diary, it is fascinating, then the image as a kind of Can the form of the record be dictated by the form of the text in its final presentation? We have already seen the separation of sound and picture in Alain Resnais' films. In "Last Year in Marienbad", the image shapes a space of memory, and the narration...

Traveling between the broken walls of memory and history is such a sad pastime
Memory is not the opposite of forgetting, but the inner connection of the ruins of time. Levi Strauss mentioned in "The Melancholy Tropics" that the remains of two ammonites were found on the same rock, and there may be a time distance of tens of thousands of years between them. If you measure the rings of trees with your fingers, the gaps between your fingers are the cracks in time—it drowns out private memories and then replaces them with collective narratives, buried in...

How does one remember to be thirsty?
sun and moon
1.
While watching The Sun and Moon, I had to stop a few times to digest the sheer volume of content. This size is not the magnitude of the information, it is the strength of Chris Marker's call to the lens.
In the deep sea of memory, he walked around arbitrarily, salvaging pictures.
I watched half of it on the train from Hankou to Shanghai. In Shanghai, my vision was infected by him. The lack of light in the sun and the moon is like a disease...

Reconstructing memory with images is neither real history nor fictional stories, but poetry. Poems are written by the world, but discovered by poets. Poets best capture the beauty of this world in its moving...

4.5; In the form of travel letters as narration, prose poems between the real and the false, with Eliot's "I know time is always time, space is always space" as the benchmark text, to explore how memory rewrites history and how personal memory is used. Fake collective memory replaces, sculpted time's final image. The film clips are inserted into the actual shooting records, and it is better to cite Vertigo to reflect the "vortex of time". The train of the city gathers the fragments of the...

Only very few directors can achieve this style of self-discipline. It seems that someone who has experienced the end of the world has picked up some fragments of memory again, and obviously knows that they are useless. It's more like a brainwashed person who reluctantly expresses the remaining pain in his heart. Japan's 3S: Business, Violence,...

Narrator: All women have a built-in grain of indestructibility. And men's task has always been to make them realize it as late as possible. African men are just as good at this task as others. But after a close look at African women I wouldn't necessarily bet on the men.

Narrator: Off Okinawa kamikaze dived on the American fleet; they would become a legend. They were likelier material for it obviously than the special units who exposed their prisoners to the bitter frost of Manchuria and then to hot water so as to see how fast flesh separates from the bone.
Narrator: One would have to read their last letters to learn that the kamikaze weren't all volunteers, nor were they all swashbuckling samurai. Before drinking his last cup of saké Ryoji Uebara had written: "I have always thought that Japan must live free in order to live eternally. It may seem idiotic to say that today, under a totalitarian regime. We kamikaze pilots are machines, we have nothing to say, except to beg our compatriots to make Japan the great country of our dreams. In the plane I am a machine, a bit of magnetized metal that will plaster itself against an aircraft carrier. But once on the ground I am a human being with feelings and passions. Please excuse these disorganized thoughts. I'm leaving you a rather melancholy picture, but in the depths of my heart I am happy. I have spoken frankly, forgive me."
