"Assuming life is meaningful, even though it has a 10% chance of being true, I can only choose it"

"Maintaining the faith, despite the elusive reality. That's what life is about"

I especially like the philosophical ideas that are everywhere in French films

and looks casual and delicate

Is it meaningful to go sailing against the current to overcome difficulties and pursue your goals in a certain situation and at a certain time?

If you think about it like this, your subconscious mind has already told you "no"

Truth is Morality?

Do not. Solving the problem of moral anxiety is the sect of morality

The best way is to find a way to make yourself hate it; and, make up a story that is enough to degrade yourself and let the people you care about let go

Accepting yourself is the utmost respect for the world and yourself

When people feel that something is awakening their sleeping souls, they stop paying attention to the material world

In the film, Louis, who is more difficult to understand, expresses his intimacy to Maud on the snowy mountains. This is Louis' confusion about the dissonance of belief and perception

A person's existence requires the integration of each fragment. So do people need to be responsible for each fragment? Are people still free?

Possibly, people need to have the idea of ​​"responsibility", but they don't need to feel "guilty", whether intentional or not

"If she loves me, she will be faithful"

Is marriage the only expression of love, or loyalty?

It's not the ambiguous atmosphere that attracts me most in this film, although I'm often tempted by it. In the circle of life of German philosophical rigor and French romance, which I thought were perfect in the past, it could be seamlessly integrated into British old-fashioned. An old-fashioned thick precipitation is also a graceful subtlety

When the little girl came out, Louis got up and shook hands with her naturally, a very harmonious scene that I hardly remembered. Equal rights quality education outcomes

Rohmer's remarks, with seemingly trivial and disordered language, brought out the context he expected. exquisite

A serious expression is seen by some as cold, but by me it is usually serious and respectful; a kind smile is seen by many as a friendly and conciliatory interpretation, but in my intuition it is often hypocritical and weak

Why is Western culture, who likes philosophy and art, the percentage of people who believe in religion is much larger than in China? Is it related?

    No appointment, no appointment! Important things must always be said three times, because the dream lover that the petty bourgeoisie are looking for and waiting for is always the so-called interesting soul. The contradiction between the middle-class group in the matter of love is like the "Pascal's Bet", which is always entangled in a dilemma of dos and don'ts: the modern life they stand for and strive for is lacking in vitality and fun, and long for passion, but passion happens to be Another stumbling block preventing them from reaching eternal heaven. The discussion about atheism not only made the male protagonist favored by love, but also won him the opportunity to "sleep with love". However, for a conservative skeptic, insisting on "One Night at Maud's" made him firm in the existence of "God". The moral transformation is so graceful and comical that it can't help but question it from off-screen audiences. Rohmer's splendid masterpiece sharply reveals the false nature of religious grace and satirizes those who practice an ascetic lifestyle. In the end, the film, like Eyes Wide Shut, focuses on the relationship between memory and forgetting—the husband and wife are secretive and live in a transparent lie.

    On the screen, the women under Rohmer's lens look more attractive, and the subtle interaction between women's intelligence and men's hypocrisy is also more clear, and there is a sense of non-judgment in the sarcasm. In terms of images, the scenes are simple and limited. However, it accurately reproduces the urban space, there are no tricks to win, and at the same time, it can cut out the seemingly plain but well-woven story in the complex reality elements, which is really very advanced.

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.
