Stealing, an exodus of nihilism! Love, a return of existentialism.

The contradiction between the individual and the individual, the contradiction between the individual and the existence, the contradiction between the individual and the morality, the contradiction between the individual and the love, how do the nihility young people face it? They face it through avoiding the mother, obsessing with theft, rebelling against the police, and escaping from the lover. The subtlety of the film lies not only in the subtle images and subtle lines, but also in what Bresson has always been good at. How to see through the film a person's soul? Deconstruct its essence? This is different from psychoanalysis. It is not a spiritual level, but a soul level. (If you are interested, you can understand the difference between the spirit and the soul. In fact, it is very complicated to explain, and different definitions are also slightly different. Differentiated cognition, but as far as my understanding is concerned, the soul is a larger concept than the spirit. For example, what kind of form our human soul is is not the me you see, but we and the world A kind of related but differentiated product, you and I can form a soul whole, we and the world can form a soul whole, but you and I can definitely be regarded as different individuals under the same soul. It may It is illusory, but I think that to recognize a person, the soul is greater than the spirit. I think the spirit is a state of the moment. The soul is an eternal and integral state. Our human mental state can always change, but the soul will not change. It’s a bit off topic. This is the difference between my definition and understanding. I still have to explain it a little.) The soul can express the essence of man more than the spirit. It can become a more complex, subtle and true art. Concept, in fact, only video art can be the closest to intuitive presentation, other art is not good. This is also the soul of the characters that I respected by Bresson personally more than Bresson’s superb film and video skills. , The two together constitute Bresson’s video art, which is also a kind of real art created, based on life but higher than life! This has also become the biggest difficulty in understanding Bresson’s films. I think whether it is for Western audiences or Asian audiences, if you don’t have such a thorough understanding, it will be really difficult to understand, but this is just to understand it. On a basis, I also used some psychologicalized characters, literary characters, screened characters, and real characters observed in life, and compared with the real characters observed in life, I first entered Bresson and expressed his human instincts and instincts. The art world that presents the human "soul" under the superimposition of video art! In this work, the beauty of Bresson’s thinking is that this is a young man who is constantly falling into a deeper abyss of evil. In the face of his inner failure and rebellion, Bresson uses his mother’s forgiveness, police and Friends implicitly persuade them to know when they are lost, and the implicit consolation of lovers, Trying to redeem it, but the youth knows nothing but perhaps they are not ignorant. This is the brilliance that the film explores between a clear consciousness and a blurred line. For the youth, the more forgiven and tolerated. The more he rebels, this rebellion just confirms that he is not bound by morals to live in a kind of nihilistic individual world. The chemical interaction between this nihilistic individual and the real group becomes the difficulty in the movie. Using words to define and analyze the image, we can see through the character’s spirit change. In fact, you will find that the soul has not changed, and the spirit only fluctuates slightly under the more internalized psychological state of the character to become what we see. The character's almost flat state changes. The youth is finally redeemed and redeemed by love. This redemption seems to have religious significance (just a metaphor), but it is only about the inner choice of the individual. He embraces nothingness because of uncertainty in life, and he is redeemed by love because the soul finally has Attached to love. (In this sense, we see the connection between the characters and the characters as a whole. In fact, I always think that the most reliable communication between human beings is the communication of the soul, but this is almost impossible to achieve in movies or life or other art. Perhaps painting is possible.) I always feel that Bresson has transformed a religious belief logic into his film art, and it is consistent. It is difficult for us to analyze his script, because it is not the framework of traditional scripts, and there is no Any inertia and characteristics, in his best movies, without exception, are unstructured (I strongly deny that other people study his art and define it as structuralism). Movies are like characters, influenced by a kind of "faith" or "survival". Driven by the instinct of "style" (I’m just analogy, I don’t actually have any motives), it happens naturally. It has causality, but it does not connect the story with causal logic. I still insist that his script is a highly visualized script. Completely different from the "scripts" we usually define, they are created, like being drawn by intuition, or coming unpredictably, like miracles! At the same time, Bresson’s characters cannot be defined in different art categories such as psychology, literature, philosophy, theology, etc. It captures not a research and definition level of people, but more real and more subtle, from The human soul state drives the result of an instinctive behavior. The lines that have been tempered to the extreme in the movie have almost become a subconscious performance through the tone of the characters. Here is the magic of the director’s art. The actors even remove all useless or redundant behaviors and expressions, so as to present a clearer Instinctively, this is by no means a kind of "puppet-style" performance that many audiences think. Individuals do not seem to have real-level awareness. They may lack some more basic knowledge of life and are used to a strongly expressive character film. In a sense, Bresson is the opposite of all mainstream character screen forms. This is the most difficult place to understand his art, and only video art can achieve so many dimensions is the perspective of showing the state of the human "soul". In a sense, it is better than Bogman’s psychoanalytic video. More thorough, because the latter obviously has not completely separated from the images of religion, psychology and other disciplines, and Bresson has actually separated from them, completely and completely stepped into another art world, which is a more pure world of images. ! When the film is simplified to the extreme, the sharpness of the audience’s thoughts and perceptions is actually a great test. You must let all your senses be enlarged and run quickly, because Bresson’s film is what you must At this moment, you can understand as accurately as possible, and there is no time for you to think, because the rhythm and information density of the film are actually more complicated than almost all other directing arts in film history, and you need to focus more. Your current concentration and understanding ability Decide your ability to understand his art. Bresson’s films are drawn from life, but they are higher than life! I feel like talking a lot of nonsense, forget it, when I didn't say anything.
