Love is more moving than war... The excessive war background in the first half makes it seem a bit the main theme. "Hiroshima Love" is mediocre and boring compared to the "Neville Love" between the heroine and the German soldier. From a psychoanalytic point of view, the Japanese engineer can be regarded as the real hero of the film's story, namely the German soldier, It's just a stand-in (or a displacement). The underlying theme of the film: the lack of true passionate love in the daily life of modern society (compare the extreme passion and extreme intellectual love depicted in Polanski's Bitter Moon). Le said in "Future Shock" that love has been commodified and turned into an "experience industry"; Fromm pointed out in "The Art of Love" that the phenomenon of human objectification caused by "love transactions". (Well, however I believe that in the Resnais still believes in modernist love, Hiroshima's love, last year, Muriel, I love you, I love you, although my American uncle said that feelings are just biochemical reactions, although young people's love Different from the older generation, but still has its modernity, Godard's kind is the postmodern fragmented love)
"Their personal histories will always triumph over Hiroshima, albeit brief." Personal stories of love and madness, told in a way that is independent of politics, events, history, and that "transcends" them. The atrocities in Hiroshima are out of the question. Only the private expression of pain can absorb and integrate its horror.
