In the film, it is not clear how they met. Because the problem is not here. There are random encounters all over the world. What matters is what happens after these frequent encounters.
what are they talking about? It was talking about Hiroshima.
The topic of their first conversation was allegorical. In short, this is an operatic dialogue. It is impossible to talk about Hiroshima. All people can do is talk about the impossibility of talking about Hiroshima. The knowledge of Hiroshima is presented as an illusion in the mind at the beginning of the film.
In Hiroshima, everything is not "known". A special halo illuminates every gesture, every sentence, giving it a more than literal overtone. This is one of the main intentions of the film, to break with the horror of depicting horror, which has been used by the Japanese, but to bring this horror to life in the ashes of the post-holiday season, and to recreate it with a The kind of love that must be unique and "amazing". However, if the film had been shot anywhere else in the world, somewhere that had not experienced such a horrific death, the effect would have been different, and audiences would have been more convinced of the Hiroshima film.
- "Love in Hiroshima" [French] Marguerite Duras Tan Lide Translation Shanghai Translation Publishing House October 2010 The first edition
of the heroine's action in front of the camera is making love, and all the thoughts and feelings in her mind are About the disaster caused by the atomic bomb explosion. Perception and action have nothing to do with each other. The scene of making love and the scene of tragic death belong to the two poles of life, and they are the two poles of sharp confrontation. The interweaving of such two-level shots so frequently is only seen in Hiroshima Love. The shock it evokes is unparalleled: "a city built for love" has become a graveyard of death, so close that love and death are confused with each other: love is death, and death is love. People can only love in terror and fight for the right to love in the shadow of death.
