yes, yes, no, yes, no, no, no

Many years ago, it should have been a rare holiday afternoon when I went to the city on a day when I was not going to school, and I read this book while sitting in the bookstore. At that time, I often read romance novels, how could I understand anything. I just remember the chatter between the two of them in the first half, and the drowsy holiday afternoon. Later, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I was very sleepy and tired, and I could not sleep, I often thought of this exhausted and chaotic state. A strange man and woman from a foreign country who were destined to separate but decided to stay together, met by accident in Hiroshima, which was destroyed by the atomic bomb and rebuilt. Who can tell whether this unrequited love is because of passion, excitement, love or something else what? Who can say whether the Hiroshima incident is a just trial, a tragic destruction, a vicious counterattack, or something else? Destruction is always there, and rebirth is always there, just like human love; "right" is always there, and "wrong" is always there, just like Hiroshima.

    The original author, Duras, also makes movies, so her novels often have a strong sense of camera, emphasizing space, and narrative time is broken, escaped, and weakened. So for a while I have been thinking about whether avant-garde films should be made this way in the future. It was later discovered that it was not. Duras and the director would do this because they had to face the very real problem of the rupture of time. War and nuclear explosion have shattered the continuity of time. How should this rupture and the rupture of love be best described? Then there is the escape and break of the film's narrative, the strengthening of space and the distortion of continuous time. There's a reason for all this, and they're not just a method of processing, they point to certain human perceptions and feelings.

    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.

  • Elle: Sometimes we have to avoid thinking about the problems life presents. Otherwise we'd suffocate.
