/ He said there is only one movie that can describe that impossible memory, the crazy memory, Hitchcock's Vertigo. Hitchcock didn't create anything, it's already there, the horse's eyes are the same as Madeleine's

/He likes these vulnerable moments stuck in time

/People who have nothing, people who are empty, people of all kinds, honestly, don't you think it's a stupid thing to tell these people not to look at the camera, as taught in film school?

/ But it will never be passed down again, the rupture of history is cruel

/ The memory under each face will be replaced by those forged collective memories, the memories of thousands of individual traumas will be the pain of the whole history, which will be passed through very benevolent and calculated way to allocate.

/ They lost, and yet at the same time, the knowledge of the world they gained can only be won through struggle.

Sans Soleil quotes

  • Narrator: I went back to Narita for the birthday of one of the victims of the struggle. The demo was unreal. I had the impression of acting in "Brigadoon." Of waking up 10 years later in the midst of the same players, with the same blue lobsters of police, with the same helmeted adolescents, the same banners, and the same slogan, "Down with the Airport."

  • Narrator: If the images of the present don't change, then change the images of the past.
