love tripped over by politics

One of the best love movies I've seen, I can't help but applaud after watching it

A French girl fell in love with a German boy during World War II and fell in love with a Japanese boy shortly after the Hiroshima incident. Are ordinary people's love right or wrong, good or bad? It is evil to kidnap the selfish desires of living people with meaningless "politics" and cold "family and country concepts"

"Don't talk about this doctrine, that ideal, you must first seek your own interests, not become a victim of politics"

I love him is to love him, not political, and even if this love is under pressure, challenge the world, earth-shattering, but the love behind this fierce behavior may also be ordinary love, "I" is also ordinary like ordinary people" I", "I" this "love" is also mixed with selfish desires, mixed with impulses, mixed with evil and hurt, and will eventually forget

In a foreign country, when you meet a heart-warming lover, you can feel the urge to fall in love again, you can feel the joy of your first love, and you can tell the other person your dirtiest secrets and private thoughts like a tree hole without pressure. , the most painful experience, mentioning a certain city, all memories are of a lover, when I read the name of your city, I am thinking of you, there is nothing better than this

In the movies of the early 1960s, anti-war thoughts were surging, and the photos of the victims of nuclear bombs in the beginning were really vivid. It is also clever to put this kind of love story in Hiroshima. I don’t know if this love story was written to show the danger of nuclear bombs. Hiroshima, chosen for this kind of love story

The lines in the second half of the movie are frequently used, "Sometimes you should not think about the difficulties caused by the world, otherwise the world will become suffocated", "I like this kind of city that never sleeps, no matter day or night, there are always people awake "(I also like the city that never sleeps), "We will never meet again, unless one day, because of the war"

A standard French New Wave film that can no longer be standard. Telling a story that happened in a short period of time (two days), linear narrative, a large number of essay-like serious lines, slightly casual scenes, freedom and indifference to sex, and supporting the ups and downs of the film's plot through dialogue. New wave movies are really addictive, well-structured and a bit brain-intensive. After watching them, you will always be inspired by big and small. It is art.
