Camille Claudel--The Persistence and Destruction of Love

I almost don't want to see Camille's final downfall, and how the 30 years in captivity have lost the meaning of life. ideals and aspirations. Love and persistence begin to break down when love comes. Camille eventually lost everything to Rodin's selfishness and cruelty, and to love's frivolity and heat.

When it was hard to believe my feelings, after watching this film, I found myself more important. If Camille wasn't so entangled in pain, maybe her success was a satire on Rodin. If Camille's love wasn't so thorough, At that time, maybe Rodin couldn't give her too much damage. He was troubled by her perseverance and sacrifice, and scenes of her destroying works kept surfacing, and she was uncontrollable in the exhibition.

The way of love is different. If she can be Rodin's lover for life, if she can leave Rodin in a smart way, if she can not care about Rodin, it's a pity that she forces herself too much, forces others to pay, forces herself to leave, forces herself to care. In fact, some things and some people only we care about. Let yourself be better. Why should you destroy your life for such a man? The value of life should not be like this.

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.
