On February 20, 1997, the winter vacation had just ended. I even returned to the small campus of Chongqing University of Architecture in advance. In the high dormitory building, the students who returned to school early were crowded into the hall of the dormitory building to watch the Changhong color TV and watch a Channel, Phoenix Satellite TV, watching a program, a great man died.
I looked at it too, and then felt a little bored; since my father had just passed away 13 months ago, I had to leave some condolences to a loved one I knew so well. So that evening, I went to Shapingba Library, flipped through newspapers and magazines, and suddenly saw the screening of "Rodin's Lover" at 19:30 in the Shatu Video Room. The artist's lover, well, look!
Unexpectedly, when I saw the vicissitudes and stubbornness of Camille at the end of the film in 1943, at the age of 79, the whole country was mourning, the family was mourning, the beauty was dying, and the hero was dying. . . For a while, mixed grief fell from the sky, and there was no one else, in fact, no one. I sat in the dark Shatu video room in the middle of the night, crying in pain.
As a student of the University of Architecture, I will definitely not be biased towards Camille for the poor translation of Hong Kong's name, and curse Rodin. In fact, for the entire 170 minutes, I was partial to Isabelle Adjani who played Camille. How could she be so beautiful? And why is Camille in the middle and back stages so miserable?
On the high bridge of the Seine, I thought she was going to jump into the river, but I just smashed Rodin's signed "Foot" sculpture into the river. It was clearly not marble, but a man's foot carved from white marble; it was the starting point of her talent, and it was the tender skin caressed by her lover.
During that period, I read a lot of Eileen Chang's works, as well as the works of Yu Dafu, Yukio Mishima, etc. In short, I read a lot of lice under the gorgeous nightgown. However, after three or four years, I love house and Wudi prefer a brand of women's boots similar to Isabella. Beijing Hyundai Mall and Shanghai 66 Plaza have all bought these women's boots with ambiguous memories for girls with ambiguous memories. Isabelle Adjani's beauty is not flamboyant beauty, but the kind of beauty in which Xiaofang from Zhenjiang County enters Shanghai, but dazzles the crowd.
At that time, I didn't understand movies, I didn't know any performances, but I was moved anyway. Although I wasn't moved to scold Rodin, I just cherished Camille. Why is such a beautiful person going crazy? It's a bit like the tall Chongqing girl in the architecture department of our school. She is hopelessly beautiful, but she has to swear and wear jeans with holes in the buttocks. It's a pity!
Fifteen years later, I was standing on the bridge of the Seine, smoking a cigarette, looking at the slightly mad painter on the left bank, and looking at the beauty in a hurry on the right, when I was looking at me, I suddenly remembered Camille ——Ah, after so many years, watching countless movies, the only one who has ever cried bitterly for this movie. Maybe I was disturbed by melancholy at the time, maybe the comfort always disappeared too quickly, and I didn't finish a cigarette and burst into tears.
Genius is always associated with madness, but honestly, art has no criteria for comment. As for who is genius and who is mediocre, I think it is mostly because of the artist's own story. I originally liked Van Gogh, but gradually I liked Gauguin, even Miller, and even now hopelessly Pissarro.
Well, genius cannot be abused, and the eternal genius may only be counted by Leonardo da Vinci. Rodin's thinker is somewhat vulgar in front of the Mona Lisa. As an artist personally, regardless of the works, I definitely prefer the beautiful Camille. But why are you going crazy? I guess it was because of her father's death in 1913. The big hat of the Electra plot, click on it first; because I cried so much at the time, probably because of the death of my father.
