This kind of world is not an imitation of the real world, nor is it a portrayal of a certain aspect of him, he is the place in the narrative, a pure fantasy, and what she needs to adapt to is only a fantasy, I try to create a pure spiritual space and time , perhaps space and time in dream or memory, all space and time of emotional life, without emphasis on traditional English coherence and absolute consistency of the storyline, the second half of this sentence by Greer The negative lock instruction of the film is obvious. For the previous narrative, it is not important anymore. The pure spiritual point of view can understand the essence of the film's form creation. The film expresses the uncertainty of characters, time and scenes in a brand-new image way. , At the beginning of the film, you can see a certain character from time to time. During scene one, other characters standing or sitting in the sky environment maintain a fixed posture. They are completely still. These characters are not in action. Continuing the attached middle school has been regarded as the background of evil, their time has disappeared at this time, time is relative to people and things, a person can only experience his own time, in the film a static person suddenly moves. When the walking character stops, the relative meaning of existence itself can be expressed. In the main narrative of the film, the connection between x and a is carried out on these three levels. The first is the real field in which they talk, and the second is It is the picture that Ms. a tried to recall, and the third is the state shown by X’s narration. The image of the film follows the two of them, but they are hesitant between the three levels. I can understand why where a and x meet many times, the statue always seems to be changing positions, because they are states in different levels, only very careful judgment can determine whether a scene is from the narrative of x or the excavation of a. The memory of the film, or the real scene of their dialogue, modernism has all kinds of doubts about the definition of traditional knowledge, the film makes a agree with the statement of x in the narrative, indicating that the affirmation of the narrative level and the choice of the narrative are what we can identify The existence of value, reality and memory may not be true, if in Hiroshima Love, only reality was shelved and blocked by memory, last year in Marienbad, the world where reality and memory were narrated by Yang Qi was the only one. The important world, in the film, x represents the side of the narrative, he is the expressor, the embodiment of the world of speech, so it reflects the judgment of initiative and value, the beginning of tomorrow, and x first dedicates itself to the level of reality, Then, through his expression, he shows the higher-level language world, and even the memory world of a that may exist. The presence of the language is what it used to be, and the images of the film seem to follow this narrative., and the fictitious reality of an existence that gradually shadows itself already constructing this mere narration becomes the narration environment, M, like the hotel and the luxury and extravagance of those crowds, becomes a vain time that may be abandoned, or merely a relative Corresponding background, in Marion Bard last year, it was a film narrative about narrative value, an emphasis on artistic retelling and an observation of human language existence. In Marion Bard last year, the film completely abandoned the tradition. Narrative and plot elements have also completely abandoned the different nature of real time, and a large number of scenes of existential nature have been copied, resulting in the dominance and uncertainty of reality and memory, hallucinations, and the relativity of characters’ symbolic paintings and time, etc. Alain Resnais has indeed opened up the way of film language, and also allowed the form of modernism to acquire its own deep metaphor and the possibility of inner expression

    The pursuit of formal and fragmented sound and picture effects creates a sense of alienation. The sense of space created by a large number of camera movements, tirelessly repeating reality, breaks the illusion of the integrity of the real world. The continuous appearance of metaphors such as mirrors and sculptures seems to be to prove that the film creates a fuzzy space different from the narrative space and the psychological space, in which memory and desire are intertwined in a disorderly manner.

    The film that Renai and Grillet collaborated with has obvious author's film characteristics. It has an interesting discussion on the boundary and interaction between fiction and reality. At the same time, it can also be seen as an exploration of memory and historical authenticity. In this sense, memory has the possibility of self-reconstruction under external/internal cues, and history is also reshaped. In the process of continuous interpretation, the truth of things begins to become vague and ambiguous. The so-called truth is just inference.

Last Year at Marienbad quotes

  • X: I must have you alive. Alive, as you have already been every evening, for weeks, for months.

    A: I have never stayed so long anywhere.

    X: Yes, I know. I don't care. For days and days. Why don't you still want to remember anything?

    A: You're raving! I'm tired, leave me alone!

  • X: [Last Lines] The grounds of the hotel were symmetrically arranged, without trees or flowers, or plants of any kind. The gravel, the stone, and the marble were spread in strict array in unmysterious shapes. At first sight, it seemed impossible to lose your way. At first sight... Along these stone paths and amidst these statues, where you were already losing your way forever in the still night, alone with me.
