a coincidence

It's been a long time since the movie was released, and I haven't watched it, because the next version was pronounced in French without subtitles. Maybe or with subtitles, I didn't find it. In fact, I have been looking for this film for a long time since I inquired about Karen Mok's "Love of Hiroshima".
The book with the same name has been bought for a long time, and I have never read it. Because it didn't feel like a novel, I couldn't stop reading it. It's a script, the script that directed me to watch the film. Well, I just read the book while watching the movie, what a fun experiment. I feel like reading a text, in addition to the main text, there are central ideas, key introductions, and character analysis.

In the book there will be "choose one of the above three sentences, or use all three sentences." And the note at the bottom of the writing says "Renai chose to use all three sentences instead of using one of the three sentences." such text. The author recorded the differences between the script and the film one by one. An impressive scene is written in the book "A moving Japanese woman passed by. She was sitting on a float. Several pigeons flew out of her black blouse (breast bulge)." Notes "Renai chose A flower ball" In the movie, a huge flower ball opened and several pigeons flew out. It is estimated that the description in the book is actually not so easy to operate. It is not so easy to hide a few pigeons in the clothes, unless the woman is a magician.

I didn't listen carefully at first, thinking that the man was speaking Japanese, but in fact it was all French, because the woman could not speak Japanese. The man looks very westernized Japanese, maybe he is of mixed race. The film is carried out in the relatively quiet description of the two, more narration, less dialogue. In one day, the woman tells the man about the relationship in Nevers, France, the one that drove her crazy fourteen years ago. She fell in love with France's enemy, a German.

Neville is a city that makes me sad
Neville is a city I no longer like
Neville is a city that scares me The

story took place in the summer of 1957, 12 years after the mushroom cloud. The movie started to intersperse with documentary footage, I thought. Those shots can't be made for filming, because they are all black and white, and people can't tell the age.

On the ruins, a dog with only three legs ran past.
The wounds are magnified to stimulate your vision, it is better to die.
The handsome boy turned his head and was blinded in one eye;
the girl showed self-pity in the mirror with her embarrassed skin exposed;
a pair of twisted hands were playing the piano;
...
Without the Hiroshima incident, Japan would not have surrendered, and the war of aggression against China would not have ended. But all beings are equal, the tragedy of Hiroshima and the massacre of Nanjing were both unfortunate and the result of using violence to overcome violence. Hope it never happens again.

The author likes cats, I guess. Because the title page of the book has a picture of her holding a cat, and the cat is very beautiful. There are three scenes of cats in the film: cats walk aimlessly on the streets. When the woman was on set, a white cat stepped on her skirt, and she continued to pet it; when the woman was locked in the basement, a black cat stared at her, with its round pupils open. Forgive me for being black and white. Fortunately, the cats that appear here are all intact.

At the end: "Hiroshima, this is your name", and "your name is Nevel. French Nevel"
In fact, I think Hiroshima is the Japanese man's name, and Nevel is the German soldier's name name.

Later, I think women left Hiroshima anyway.
Because she said, "You know very well, you can't leave, let alone stay."
She can only pour out that unforgettable memory to such a stranger. She just borrowed the lust of a Japanese man to fall in love with another man. Let this 24-hour relationship become a beautiful memory again.

"I'm a man who lives happily with his wife"
"I'm also a woman who lives happily with his husband" To
paraphrase Xu Zhimo's "Accidental" you and I meet on the sea in the dark night, you have yours and I have me The direction you remember or it's better that you forget the light that shines on each other at this meeting.

    I haven't slept for two days, and the dark circles under my eyes are about to fall on the bridge of my nose. I thought God couldn't stop me from sleeping, but I turned on this movie. The bed was just a step away, but Renai held me for 90 minutes. At this time, I was not sleepy at all. I was full of melancholy, haunting the strange woman I missed by the strange coast. Damn, damn movie.

    Four and a half stars. Using stream-of-consciousness editing to explore memory and forgetting, the repeated comparison monologue enhances the sense of dreaming, and the tearing between leaving and leaving breaks the concept of time and space: revival, the past possessed by the present, the continuous death, the uncaptured present, the hanging A halted, never-reachable future, where aliasing and recombination make "you" and "he" merge; actually knowing a person doesn't mean anything - we always forget again and again, and face new faces again and again. Always remembered again and again.
