Too difficult~~

Watching Bresson’s movies often have to think about two questions, what kind of emotion is expressed and how he does it.
There is a lot of analysis on how to do it. The lens, sound, picture... In fact, what is most lacking is how he refined it? This is again mixed with the first question.
After reading it, I was deeply moved by the ending sentence... But is that all Bresson wants to pass on? I'm not sure. Movies cannot be simply explained as the fate, philosophical attitude, love, redemption, belief, religion of the bottom people... Language now reveals poverty. Bresson must have been moved by a complex mixture of intertwined emotions to create this movie. And his greatness lies in his ability to extract visible forms to deliver.
This process exists in his mind...I believe this process cannot be described.
The external form can be imitated, and the magical reaction in the middle is to think and try. Some people must be born with this talent, and Bresson must be.
