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.

    Rohmer's "talking" is manifested in the complicated inner drama of middle-aged men's intellectuals, including marriage, religion, philosophy, morality, men and women, and then his interest and affection for Pascal increased greatly.

    It is amazing that a seemingly dog-blooded four-cornered love relationship can be packaged in such a subtle way by Rohmer. . . The husband who abandoned his wife (it can also be said to be the friend character), the elegant and charming wife, the male protagonist who is full of philosophy and religion, and the young and beautiful lover, in short, four people, two men and two women, form a perfect relationship closed loop, They are implicated and connected to each other, and the cuts are constantly being arranged and messed up, and it is not until the narration at the last minute that everything is pointed out. . A wonderful paradox: in front of people who like it, any moral and religious philosophy is nonsense; in front of people who don't like it, it is necessary to talk about moral and religious philosophy.
