Eric Rohmer

It is worth pondering about a man's attitude towards two different women. The poet said: If I like you, don't fall in love with me easily, let me change my love for you from a ripple to a long-awaited storm, and then promise me. Tao and I looked at each other and smiled: Why do men owe so much?

Apart from the ones mentioned above, what else? Among them, the view of "faith" in marriage is particularly critical.

Maud: you'd marry her on the spot and swear eternal fidelity.

Louis: Absolutely.

Maud: - You sure you'd be faithful?

Louis: - Of course.

Maud: - What if she was unfaithful?

Louis: - If she loved me, she'd be faithful.

Maud: - Love isn't eternal.

Louis: - My sort of love is.

Maud: If there's one thing I can't understand, it's infidelity.

Louis: If only out of self-regard, I couldn't go back on my word.

Louis: When I take a wife, my love will stand the test of time.

Louis: If I stopped loving her. I'd despise myself.

Maud: - You're right. That's self-regard.

Louis: - I said it might be.

Maud: Not "might be." It is. So you don't allow for divorce?

Maud: So you damn me outright.

Louis: Not at all. You're not a Catholic.

I think this sentence means praising Catholicism.

Because the woman said you won't get a divorce?

Love doesn't last long.

The man only said this, but the woman repeatedly stressed that she was atheist

I agree with the statement that atheism is also a religion

I also like what the male protagonist said, I stand by my beliefs but I respect other religions

He sarcastically questioned him because he was Catholic and in his bones he was proud to be Catholic

It's interesting to see him questioning his religion in his films

He wants to improve him not to abandon him

    #CC# "One Night at Maud's House" is interspersed with a mysterious theme, that is, [accident]. In Pascal's thinking and discourse, metonymic accident weaves the whole mystery. This theme is discussed in one of his works on [mathematical probability]. Seeing clues at the beginning of middle school. His later use of the concept of discrete random variables [expected values] to solve gambling problems was also added by Rohmer to Maud's table talk to demonstrate that somewhere, some level of fatalism. But only Maud is the one who plays the game of chance, the one who really chooses the game. "True morality mocks morality; that is, the morality of judgment - which has no rules - mocks the morality of the spirit," Pascal wrote in "Book of Thoughts," emphasizing that the fundamental motive of man is to attain happiness , but all social rules have [falsehood], including religious morality, and this [falsehood] cannot always overcome [selfish] nature. But the statement of selfish nature is also superficial. It should be that human nature is unpredictable and willful. Their [intersection] takes place in Maud's room, and the viewer, like the painter, is at a distance, but not too far.

    This is like the question of how many horizontal lines are in the middle of "straight" a few days ago. I always thought it was three horizontal lines, but one day it was suddenly announced that there were two horizontal lines on the dictionary. It's just an illusion, so how do we face ourselves and this reality? At that time, in the castle he had built in the past, he still controlled himself when facing Maud. Did Louis act according to his deepest intuition, or did he trust moral standards? If he followed his intuition deep in his heart, then the restraint of Maud's lust at that time was not from his heart. If he followed his own beliefs, then what should he do now? When we self-righteously choose a "correct" belief, but one day, what you experience is actually contrary to what you think is correct. At this time, how should we face ourselves and face life?

My Night at Maud's quotes

  • Vidal: She's - very beautiful.

    Jean-Louis: Marry her.

    Vidal: No, we've gone into all that. We don't get on with each other, day in, day out. But we're the best of friends. I asked you to come because otherwise I know she and I will make love.

    Jean-Louis: I won't come.

    Vidal: But we would only do it to pass the time and that's no solution, for her or me. I'm a puritan, as you know.

    Jean-Louis: More than me?

    Vidal: Much more.

  • Jean-Louis: As a Christian I say it's evil not to acknowledge what is good.
