"I can't accept that a talented artist ends up dying in a lunatic asylum!" That was the only thought I had after watching Camille Claudel! Yes, I prefer to call the film Camille Claudel rather than the so-called Rodin's Lover. This film mainly tells that Camille Claudel met Rodin, the then master of art, on the way to study and create art. Camille was convinced by his talent, fell in love with him, and the two made art together. Life, until the end of the love retreat, the relationship between the two fell apart, but this talented artist is still confined to love and the past after everything is over, until he "drives himself crazy"! The Imprisonment of Women in the Movie Times At the age of seventeen, for Camille's artistic talent, the Claudell family moved to Paris. Because women were not welcome at the Beaux-Arts at that time, she did not enter the academy to study. It was the beginning of all the tragedies. Because I couldn't enter the academy to study, I could only look for a teacher outside. Through Camille's former teacher Boucher, Camille recognized her own idol, and later became involved with her for more than a dozen years. The long-standing art master Rodin! When she was nineteen years old, that woman was the most beautiful age! In France at the end of the 19th century, literature and art were world-famous, but the country was turbulent and wars continued! Although such turmoil did not affect France too much on its own national strength, as well as its literature, art and economy, but in the great period of world war, it just won't decline too much. To a certain extent, the war's Occurrence will undoubtedly restrict economic development! The slow economic development will restrict the advanced nature of thinking! Although as early as 1791, when the women's leader of the French Revolution, Olympe de Gouge, issued the "Declaration of the Rights of Women or Women's Citizenship" or the "Declaration of Women's Rights", the feminist movement had already kicked off. But two years later the manifesto's author was guillotined by her former male colleague. Because at that time France was still a "monarchy" country! The monarchy means that people are not created equal, women must depend on men! In the 100 years since then, the concept of equality between women and men has gradually sprung up, so Camille, with the support of her father, did a job that was very disgraceful to her mother. In the movie Camille and her Mother and sister represented two types of women at that time, one was a new woman who longed for independence and pursued the same rights and treatment as men, and the other was an old woman who was still imprisoned behind her family and men, so Camille’s The tragedy stemmed even more from the relatively broad social environment for women in that era and the fact that it still had sexism and serious prejudice against women! The expression of feminism in the film Camille has the advanced idea of equality between men and women in the movie. This idea came from her father, Mr. Claudell. In order to maximize the development of his daughter's artistic talent, he proposed relocated to art In Paris, the capital of art, in the eyes of Camille's father, her daughter will definitely become an outstanding artist! Camille's father's partiality to Camille made him almost ignore his own son! Under the protection of her father's love, Camille has grown into an independent woman. She is dissatisfied with her mother's muttering and discipline and even contradicts her. To be Rodin's model and mistress. In these matters, Camille actually has equal thoughts and independent consciousness! But the author believes that Camille is not a woman with a completely feminist ideology. When she was young, she seemed to be independent, but in fact she relied on her father. After getting to know Rodin with him, she gave up her artistic creation and devoted herself and her artistic talent to Rodin. During this period , the person she relies on is Rodin. In the end, she left Rodin and went to her younger brother. It seemed that she devoted all her passion to artistic creation, but at this time, she often wrote letters to her younger brother. In the movie, at her sculpture exhibition, her younger brother did not tell her. And don't, the loss and fragility in her eyes is the only time she has such an expression in the whole film. Obviously, at this time, her brother is her last support! After that, Camille smashed all her plaster creations and began to become more and more crazy and neurotic, until she was finally sent to a lunatic asylum until she died! So the author believes that Camille is not a woman with a completely feminist idea! But I object to someone commenting that Camille left because she couldn't get Rodin's love. This is undoubtedly an insult to Camille. The two have been together for many years, and it is impossible to watch it after many years. When the other party doesn't love me, I am more willing to believe that it is because Camille doesn't want to be called "Rodin's mistress" or "Rodin's student"! She is herself, Camille Claudel with sheer artistic talent, not someone's subordinate! This is also reflected in the film. Rodin thought that Camille belonged to him, and he gave Camille everything, but this just stepped on Camille's sore spot, and the two broke up unhappily! Since the development of feminism, I think the most important ideological core is to recognize that women are independent individuals and have absolutely equal rights with men. Women should not be subordinate to men, women should be themselves first! Camille's Tragedy - From a feminist perspective, Camille's life is undoubtedly tragic. First of all, as a woman, even if she is an artist who creates sculptures, she has a tougher side in body and mind than other women, but she is different from men. It is more fragile than that. Science has proved that women are naturally softer than men in terms of physiology and mind, and they will be more addicted to emotions! So Camille will continue to entangle in the past after leaving Rodin, because women are naturally more affectionate! Second, women need more spiritual support and social identity than men. During her time with Rodin, Camille stopped writing, disappointing her father, Monsieur Claudel, and making herself and her family ridiculed in the eyes of Parisian celebrities because of her almost public mistress status. Later, her neuroticism and dependence made his brother avoid her like a scorpion. She had almost no spiritual dependence and comfort, so her mental illness and psychological barriers became more and more serious. Finally, the times also have an inescapable responsibility for Camille's tragedy. The celebrities in Paris don't seem to care about the quality of the artwork itself. They despise Camille because of her gender and laugh at her because of her past. The lack of a fair evaluation of her art work has caused Camille to lose confidence in herself, and she lost the only thing she could rely on in the end! Art is the wealth of all mankind, the fall of an artistic genius is undoubtedly the loss of the whole world, but in this entanglement, we can't say with certainty who caused this tragedy. Camille's indulging in love is actually a very irresponsible statement. There is only one reason for no tragedy. All we can do today is to sigh and remember!
