The sensational world movie "Hiroshima Love" is the representative work of French left bank director Alain Resnais, and it is also a classic representative of stream-of-consciousness movies. Although it is a black and white film, the overall picture composition and lines are very meticulous and exquisite, and it is also a classic of the times. The whole film is very different in terms of tone. A married woman and a married man fall in love quickly and madly in the war-torn land of Hiroshima, but what is revealed is war and Atomic catastrophe does mental damage to people. The opening shot of the film alternates between naked bodies and the ruins of war. Her slow and heavy statement was heartbreaking, and he just repeated "You didn't see anything in Hiroshima" over and over again. Desire and reason are constantly intertwined, creating an eerie feeling that borders on dullness. Existentialism believes that the world cannot be grasped by human reason, it is a mass of "nothingness". Alain Resnais' films use existential philosophy and psychoanalytic theory to reveal various psychology and behaviors of people in life, and use the interlacing of real time and space with psychological time and space, breaking the traditional film structure that is completely chronologically developed in a straight line. Introduced the "flash cut" method.

"Hiroshima, that's your name." "That's my name. Your name is Neuer, the French Neuer." The film ends abruptly here. It came to an abrupt end with endless meaning and nothingness.

I like a lot of the lines in the video:

"The political ability of human beings is 100 times worse than the scientific intelligence. We have been reduced to the point where we cannot appreciate others"

"I like this kind of city that never sleeps, no matter the day or night, there are always people awake"

"Sometimes we should try not to think about the troubles in our current life or we will suffocate"

    You are not cowardly, you are brave in a hundred places, and there is only one cowardly, that is love.

    "Time is difficult to turn back, space is easily broken", these two lyrics are so amazing that they can sum up Renai. I ate the thunder, the desolation, the ruins, the taboos and the unresolved sadness, very beautiful. One way to relieve pain is to create a new one. In the movie, it is hoped to use a new "indecent" to forget the once unforgettable "incoherence", and the result is undoubtedly double the "pain". Both images and narratives are literary, and this is where Renai is great.

  • Lui: Some years from now, when I have forgotten you and other romances like this one have recurred through sheer habit, I will remember you as a symbol of love's forgetfulness. This affair will remind me how horrible forgetting is.

  • Elle: Sometimes it's important to ignore the difficulties this world presents. Otherwise, it would become unbearable.
