Beautiful and talented woman, not widowed

Darius 2022-04-19 09:02:44

If there is a woman in the world who has only beauty or only wisdom, then she is lucky;
if this woman has both beauty and talent, then she is destined to be unfortunate.
Such a woman can only be a tragic figure.

When God loves a person, he will only give her one thing that is beyond all living beings;
if God wants to destroy a person, he will add many gifts to her.
Because the mundane world cannot accommodate perfect people,
they are beyond the world.

Camille, a flower that withered prematurely because it was too close to the heat.
But who is wrong? The ruthless Rodin? Suppressing feudal society at that time?
Or Camille herself?
No one can tell. Or, all of them.

    The Hong Kong translation is called "Rodin's Lover", which is completely contrary to the film itself.

    The director is too cruel, and even the movie's name is [Rodin's Lover]. She was deprived of her body, deprived of emotion, deprived of creation, deprived of her name.

Camille Claudel quotes

  • Morhardt: Who do you think you are?

    Camille Claudel: Don't you know who I am? Or are you pretending?

    Morhardt: What kind of behavior is this? You're crazy!

    Camille Claudel: Camille Claudel. I am Camille Claudel! And if you don't know it, I'll show you!

  • Camille Claudel: My little Paul, you came to see me in May... and I made you promise not to neglect me so terribly. Madhouses are made to inflict suffering. It can't be helped... especially if you never see anyone. They try to force me to sculpt here. They don't succeed, so they make trouble for me. Don't forget, Paul, your sister is in prison with madwomen. Mama wrote the doctor... that I mean to harm you. That I detest you and am out to hurt you. It's not true. I wish she would take me to Villeneuve with her. Do you think I enjoy spending months, years like this without any news or hope? Where does such ferocity come from? How did they manage to change you so? I'd really like to know. You might as well send me to Siberia. Did you take care of my things? Are they in Villeneuve? Be careful they don't fall into Rodin's hands. He's so afraid I might come back. That's why he's keeping me here, isn't it, Paul? I would like to go home and close the door tightly. I don't know if I'll be able to realize this dream to be home. Oh, God, I wish I were in Villeneuve. Your sister in exile.
