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.

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

My Night at Maud's quotes

  • Maud: You do shock me.

    Jean-Louis: So you've said.

    Maud: You're the most outrageous person I've met. Religion has always left me cold. I'm neither for nor against it. But people like you prevent me from taking it seriously. All that really concerns you is your respectability. Staying in a woman's room after midnight is dreadful. It would never occur to you to stay because I'm lonely. To establish a slightly less conventional relationship even if we should never meet again. This I find stupid - very stupid and not very Christian.

    Jean-Louis: It's nothing to do with religion. I just thought you might be tired.

    Maud: Do you still think so?

  • Maud: What I don't like about you is that you always dodge the issue. You don't face up to things. A shamefaced Christian combined with a shamefaced Don Juan.
