If it's a romance, it probably isn't. If it's a war movie, it probably isn't. That's why so many people don't understand this movie. This is a surrealist film that is different from the traditional. A classic masterpiece of the French "left bank". Therefore, to understand this film, we must think about the background of the times it is in and the film concept of the Left Bank. Left bank films accepted the influence of Freud's theory of sexual psychology and the subconscious, and tried to express the truth of all people who are bound by reason, law, morality and customs. Therefore, the directors of the left bank are interested in the development process of people and spirits, and focus on the tendency of characters' inner description. They believe that inner reality is higher than outer reality. It can be seen that the film is set in the background of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. The damage caused by this war disaster is not only the reality of physical disability, but the deeper damage is the distorted reality of people's heart. This is a psychological disability! Once a person is mentally ill, even if the body is intact, what is the difference between walking with the dead?
The film does not directly show the brutal war scenes, but through the brief affair of two transnational married couples and married couples, the spiritual loneliness of human beings, the hypocrisy of human nature, mental pain and ugliness are vividly and vividly displayed, highlighting the The absurd world and war have caused spiritual distortion, perversion and alienation of human beings. It's a high-level realism that combines the reality in the mind with the reality in front of the eyes. The inner truth of a person is more real than the outer world, isn't it?
Although there are blockbuster monologues at the beginning and end of the film, which make people's impressions not so good, it seems insignificant in the face of the profound themes and new trends in film concepts that the film presents.
Classic film, worth aftertaste, worth thinking about!
