Pascal's Thoughts: Eric's Morality
Ora 2022-03-21 09:03:26
In my opinion it's a perfect movie with a good story, good acting, and more importantly, philosophy, and Pascal. Rohmer was too silent in front of his great colleagues of the time, not as sharp as Godard, nor as internationally known as Tenuf, he always avoided public appearances, as in his films. silence. The film is the best of the six moral tales, full of intellectual flair. The topics discussed are also more in-depth. Pascal and his unfinished "Book of Thoughts" are mentioned many times in the film. Pascal is probably the most famous genius in France, and his famous "Pascal's Bet" is well known. The protagonist in the movie also seems to have made a love bet, but we don't know if he won the bet. Pascal's doubts about God are also used in this film. The protagonist is also doubting his own morality. The back of the movie is a riddle given by the director to the audience, right? Is our own Taoism okay? Kant believes that human beings are moral when they do something because they consider the rationality of the event rather than the consequences of the event. Rohmer seems to have the same meaning here.

B+/ The one with the most difficulty in controlling the overall structure so far, "One Night", as a wonderful concept of divergent time, has been handled in an orderly manner without being disturbed.

The third of "Six Moral Stories": The moral dilemma created by the chaotic men and women at the beginning of the film is easy to associate with the probability theory of mathematics, but the question of choosing A or B is cut layer by layer, and it is cryptic. Shows such a complex relationship between men and women. At the end, the two have their own ghosts, the heroine threw the sand out, and the family ran to the sea-if morality has fallen into an unbreakable deadlock, is there a better way than to forget it?

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.
