Eric Rohmer

It is worth pondering about a man's attitude towards two different women. The poet said: If I like you, don't fall in love with me easily, let me change my love for you from a ripple to a long-awaited storm, and then promise me. Tao and I looked at each other and smiled: Why do men owe so much?

Apart from the ones mentioned above, what else? Among them, the view of "faith" in marriage is particularly critical.

00:57:59,819 --> 00:58:51,526

Maud: you'd marry her on the spot and swear eternal fidelity.

Louis: Absolutely.

Maud: - You sure you'd be faithful?

Louis: - Of course.

Maud: - What if she was unfaithful?

Louis: - If she loved me, she'd be faithful.

Maud: - Love isn't eternal.

Louis: - My sort of love is.

Maud: If there's one thing I can't understand, it's infidelity.

Louis: If only out of self-regard, I couldn't go back on my word.

Louis: When I take a wife, my love will stand the test of time.

Louis: If I stopped loving her. I'd despise myself.

Maud: - You're right. That's self-regard.

Louis: - I said it might be.

Maud: Not "might be." It is. So you don't allow for divorce?

Maud: So you damn me outright.

Louis: Not at all. You're not a Catholic.

I think this sentence means praising Catholicism.

Because the woman said you won't get a divorce?

Love doesn't last long.

The man only said this, but the woman repeatedly stressed that she was atheist

I agree with the statement that atheism is also a religion

I also like what the male protagonist said, I stand by my beliefs but I respect other religions

He sarcastically questioned him because he was Catholic and in his bones he was proud to be Catholic

It's interesting to see him questioning his religion in his films

He wants to improve him not to abandon him

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] Reunited with old friends for a drink and a long chat with beautiful women in boudoir nights. The beautiful woman is destined to hold the golden thread, and the past events at the seaside are scattered with the wind. Here is a young female college student who fell in love at first sight and is hard to find, and there is a mysterious divorced woman who was deliberately introduced by an old friend. Here is the discussion of topics such as religion, philosophy, and emotional morality, and there is the reality of life. The film will properly deal with this extremely delicate situation and the psychological state of men and women. The bulk of the dialogue is neither tedious nor pretentious. The ending is even better. See through but not say through, life has to live.

    Although I also think it's too unprofessional to talk about 400 hits before the screening, but the thought of being on the same stage with an idiot and watching the whole weekend still feels like shit.

My Night at Maud's quotes

  • Jean-Louis: There can't be real love unless it's shared. That's why I believe in a certain predestination.

  • Jean-Louis: Women have taught me a lot, morally speaking. That sounds...

    Maud: A little vulgar.

    Jean-Louis: Yes. It would be silly to generalize about particular cases but each girl revealed a new moral problem which I had never faced up to before. It would be good for me to be shaken out of my moral lethargy.

    Maud: You could have ignored the physical aspect for the moral.

    Jean-Louis: Yes, but, the moral aspect would never have arisen if - Well, I know it's never impossible but the physical and moral are inseparable, let's face it.

    Maud: Perhaps it was the trick of the devil?

    Jean-Louis: Then I was caught. Yes, in a way, I was caught.
