Her greatest sorrow is that she loves Rodin too much, from love to hate, and eventually burns out her talent and life prematurely.
After watching "Rodin's Lover", a 3-hour French literary film, I heard the audience next to him laugh and say: Isn't it the ending of the third child. I wanted to laugh but couldn't, with Claudius Camille in my head. Such a tragic figure, she has loved, hated, sought, and struggled in this world. The joys and sorrows of that era are still remembered by the world, which should be a fortunate thing. Her value, if none of us today can read it, then this is the real sadness. Camille is Rodin's lover. Claude Camille and Rodin united for the sake of art, separated for the sake of art, and turned against each other for the sake of art. Their encounter is a blessing in art and a tragedy in love. Love and art are the two most beautiful things in the world. But because they were entangled together, they produced bitter wine.
love
Which artist is not inspired by the storm after a romantic relationship? Rodin is also a pile of romantic debts. But this time he was really in love with Camille. They are so similar that it is said that two people who come together because of the same beliefs and aspirations will live longer and happier. That's how their love affair began. Admiring and admiring each other, Camille became Rodin's muse. Without her, Rodin couldn't even work. During the time they fell in love, Rodin's masterpieces continued. But Rodin underestimated Camille, she was by no means a little girl who was at the mercy of her. Her character is stronger than that of a man. Ambition is not inferior to Rodin and just as talented. Because of his proximity, Camille also knew Rodin and his works better than anyone else. They achieved the perfect union of spirit and flesh. This is the highest state of love. They don't talk about it without heart, do nothing without love, and are like a fairy couple. Ignore the criticism and ridicule of the world. This is the artist's love, vigorous and unending until death. The so-called wife around Rodin is only legal. Rodin never calls her his wife, he just feels that he has an obligation to take care of her. The only person he really loved in his life was Camille. Rodin's wife can't stand the kisses between them anymore, she threatens Camille like a ghost, if you stay by Rodin's side, I'll kill you. Camille lets Rodin, who is addicted to art and love, make a choice. The original partner or her? But Rodin's answer disappointed her. Rodin said like a child, she's still ill and I can't divorce her, but what does this have to do with me continuing to be with you? The gathering in the world is because of fate, and the departure is mostly because of misunderstanding. The love of an artist cannot escape this spell. Artists live in the ivory tower of art, unable to see reality and human nature. This is the biggest misunderstanding between Rodin and Claude Camille. Camille decided that Rodin did not love himself, so he chose to leave. Even so, they still love each other deeply to the death. In my opinion, Camille's departure was the best thing an artist could do. In fact, she can completely ignore the world's instructions, and wait by Rodin's side with peace of mind and happiness like an ordinary woman, enjoying the unique love he gives, even if she is his lover for a lifetime, it will be fine. But she is no ordinary woman. She is poetic, paranoid, the one who always hurts.She is too serious. It's understandable that a woman needs a name, but if she understands what kind of person Rodin is, she won't be so angry with him, entangled in the pain of loss and unable to extricate herself. Even after being separated, Camille still misses Rodin, unable to let go of Rodin's choice and the grief it brought to him. It's not that Rodin doesn't love Camille, and it's not that Camille doesn't love Rodin. It's just because they are both talented and unremarkable artists, so they can't come together in the end. This is a big joke played by fate on them.
Art
Camille is a woman who is extremely devoted to art, her talent is obvious to all, Rodin commented after seeing her works, full of vitality. It's not that simple. After they fell in love, in the face of Rodin's frequent social activities in order to cater to the official, she raised her dissatisfaction. She believed that pure art should not submit to any force and be independent. They gradually diverged in their understanding of art. Her admiration for Rodin gradually turned into suspicion. If this story is put into this day and age, the significance is still huge. Camille wants to be an artist in the true sense. She thinks Rodin is just a cheesy artist who caters to the taste of the world. She wants to be a truly pure artist who is independent and creative beyond this era. How similar is this to those independent artists who are in the minority and even work against the public today, but this road is destined to be full of thorns and dangers. It's just that in that conservative era, it's not easy for a woman to have such a shocking idea. It's a pity that no one can understand her uniqueness. At that time, women were still accessories of men. Being too maverick would only lead to criticism from the society. Her eccentric temperament and strong character made her out of sync with the times. Having lost her love, she has also lost social recognition, and she can only numb herself by drinking alcohol. When she chose to leave Rodin to create independently, I was full of expectations for her future achievements, maybe she would surpass Rodin. She should have her own world, she should not be just Rodin's lover, she should be able to become an artist who ranks alongside Rodin in history. And one of the few female artists. It's just that fate can really play tricks on people. She still loves Rodin deeply, watching him secretly in the dark, she can't get rid of the shadow of losing Rodin. Love to the depths, hate is love. She did create with all her heart, and her works were considered excellent, but she could not erase the shadow of Rodin. The theme of her creation was pain, and she wanted to express the pain of breaking up with Rodin in sculpture. After her little fame, she reunites with Rodin after a long absence, and they come to Camille's studio. Rodin saw her work and had a heated quarrel with her, saying that she was always imitating herself and trying to satirize his love through sculpture. Camille scolded Rodin for being obedient to official orders and not being a real artist. After this quarrel, Camille and Rodin became farther and farther apart, and even at odds with each other, her suspicions became heavier, and her mental pressure also increased. Her works failed to participate in international exhibitions, and she insisted that Rodin was jealous and obstructed in every possible way. She stated on various occasions how much she hated Rodin and attacked Rodin's work. She is proud and uncompromising with the world. Rodin invited her to go abroad with her, but she refused; because works created for the country could not participate in art exhibitions, she burned the huge cheque given by the government and refused to sell the works to the country; the Minister of Culture invited her to make a sculpture for the country, and she gave it to the country. The Minister of Culture sent a piece of shit. Although it looks very childish, it also shows what a maverick female artist she is. Living in painful emotions all the time led her to lose the agility and independence of her creation. She just escalated her hatred for Rodin again and again. Her works are like her revenge messengers, and she is like a revenge witch. What she did made her father, who had high hopes on her, grieved, and finally died in depression. Camille's heart was even more painful. Her spirit is also in danger of being divided. Her works were repeatedly criticized by the world, and she became increasingly isolated and helpless, even her biological mother and brother left her, she was destitute and depressed. Great artists are independent of and beyond the era in which they live.Camille feels that she is a genius beyond this era, people in this era are too superficial to read her works, and she feels deeply sad. She ended up destroying her work with her own hands, locking herself in chains to isolate herself from the world. Until finally entered the mental hospital, this residual life. Camille is extraordinary, a legendary woman. Characters that were rare in that era were all manifested in her: self, independence, refinement, genius, and rebellious spirit. She benefited from art and was also mistaken by art. Even though she had extraordinary talent, she failed to get out of the trap she set for herself. Sadly. A teacher who studies art once said that there are two things that are most demagogic in the world: one is wealth and power, and the other is talent. Many young people feel that they are talented, and they are so tired without hitting the south wall. Why is it really necessary? Camille's poet brother said he has been praying for Camille, wishing her a safe life. Her stubborn character, her extraordinary talent, and her artistic temperament that does not eat human fireworks are the curse of her life. Camille is staunchly unworldly, and she cannot come to terms with the world. Her tragedy comes not only from her artistic obsession, but also from her tragic character. However, her greatest sorrow is that she loves Rodin too much, from love to hate, and eventually burns out her talent and life prematurely. Forgive me that I love you so much, but I can only prove it by killing myself.
