Despair versus freedom

Koby 2022-04-19 09:02:55

If you use despair over nothingness to resist freedom, the hope in despair will undoubtedly betray this original intention. To put the protagonist's yearning for a new life into practice is to destroy the old order of life, which reduces the confrontation between despair and freedom. Crime makes resistance futile, and unlimited freedom eventually leads them into the cage of fate. Every deviance means "anonymous fleeing far away like a storm", and when the doomed punishment comes, they have not yet realized that the freedom not bound by the norms of the world has the power of self-destruction beyond itself, and this freedom realizes itself After dying, they can only be swallowed by a void. Love excludes the freedom of both parties, which is how love destroys. But does the love between Ferdinand and Marianne really exist? I think there should only be Ferdinand's love for Marianne.

When Anna guides Ferdinand to think about himself, he can Skip the name (rationality), perceive the chaotic and unreasonable words, and be reborn in the destruction. But Ferdinand didn't understand until the end.

    Coincidentally, I didn't have the Internet today, so I looked for stocks from the CEF disk, and casually saw that both of them were Godard. I am superficial, I have seen many movies, but I have never had much resonance and excitement for Truffaut, Godard, Rohmer, New Wave, etc. But this one is different. After watching it, I have an impulse, and it is a sexual impulse, and it is the kind of French, planned and violent sexual impulse. As for why, I don't know.
