The three transcendences of love

Beyond war and death, beyond racial barriers and physical limitations. In the eyes of the world, Hiroshima has become a testimony to the cruelty of war and a synonym for death and disaster. Love in the city of Hiroshima is destined to be entwined with war, death and misery. Precisely because it is here that the heroine recalls the love that transcended the war with the German soldiers.

seek absolute love

In Duras's eyes, only the pursuit of absolute love can make people truly get rid of the potential loneliness and pain in their hearts, and make people truly find their ego and self, and enjoy freedom and happiness. And only love can achieve the transcendence of class, race and death, so as to move towards a broader territory, but the author also always recognizes a paradox about love. On the one hand, love can only be experienced with the body On the other hand, experienced love will inevitably lead to mediocrity. Whether this leads to the search for absolute love must be a tragedy.

Literary Characteristics of Movies

The "New Wave" film movement in a broad sense has two parts, one is the author's film, that is, the "New Wave"; the other is the author's film, that is, the "Rive Gauche". Representatives of "New Wave" and "Left Bank" advocate breaking the fixed narrative mode of beginning, development, climax, and ending in classical film narratives, creating a moderate "distancing effect" and giving moviegoers more space for thinking . In terms of narrative techniques, the boundaries of time and space are broken, and memories, reality and imagination are intertwined in the film, finally showing a suffocating and thought-provoking historical and psychological realism.

The poetic language and dialogue in the film Duras has completed the creation of text rhythm. Repeated language twists unforgettable love and pain. The rhythm and rhythm of writing conveys the voice of the text. Duras tries to get rid of literary opposition. All the limitations of narrative to echo the call of poetry.

Film techniques and narrative "flashbacks" are related to history, and at the same time are closely related to the psychology of characters. The use of this film narrative technique has substantially contributed to the breaking and reconnection of time and space, completing the effect that the stream-of-consciousness narrative method in the novel can achieve.

The asynchrony between the sound and the picture actually has a narrative function. It interrupts the continuity of the narrative, allowing the sound and the picture to freely switch between the present and past time and space, and the memory and reality are constantly entangled, just like the inner pain of the characters. Incessantly.

    "Hiroshima, it's your name." "Your name is Nevel." Two countries, two place names, the interweaving of love and war. I am deeply impressed by a certain passage of the heroine: Madness, like wisdom, is inexplicable. Once it falls on you, it fills your body and mind. Then you understand it, but when it leaves you , you will no longer understand.
