Who sent Camille, who was as beautiful as an angel and loved by heaven like an angel, into a lunatic asylum? Is it the sanctimonious lover Rodin or the hysterical Camille herself or is it a doomed fate? No matter who the murderer is, what we can't forget and forgive is the unbearable pain after watching the movie, the helplessness of life and the poignant beauty of love; what we are more painful is that we are all limbs There was nothing we could do about it, we understood Camille’s madness, Rodin’s rationality, and forgave fate’s determination, but we couldn’t accept this pain calmly, we could only care for our own pain quietly, selfishly It hugs into his arms, for fear of being spied upon and taken away by others. We are surrounded by various emotions and we are at a loss. How can a movie be so cruel and so merciless? - "Rodin's Lover" is a heart-wrenching movie.
I can't remember the exact date and circumstances of watching this movie, but I always remember Camille's bravery in digging mud late at night, her selfless sculpting in her studio, her persistence and courage in Rodin's studio, The calmness when facing Rodin's love, the intoxication when helping his lover, the anger and fear of losing his lover, the despair of falling into the attic... Even the heavy makeup at the exhibition, Zhang Huang when he went to the lunatic asylum by car, and The sky outside the car window that was cut to pieces by the branches - in order to write these fragments in the picture, through reliable or unreliable memories, I seek shots that I think are full of profound meaning and irreplaceable, and doing so makes me unknowingly Almost revisited the film, from the rushing and energetic Camille at the beginning of the film to the depressed Camille lying in the car at the end, every style of her seems to penetrate people. In his bones, every frown and smile is full of meaningful charm, even when he is decadent and drunk and even faints in the attic, he does not appear embarrassed at all, even though the downstairs is the chaotic house that was submerged in water - it turns out that these small details in the forgotten time are always Hidden in the harbor of memory, never left me, perhaps the most precious thing is not the cruel time that abandoned us at all, but the things, some people, some people who always stand in the torrent of time waiting for us to turn around and embrace. A book, a movie... Reminiscing about that inexplicable time, "Rodin's Lover" has become my only one, or remembering the past, or paying tribute to the present...
——Perhaps this is the wonder of memory, it can always cherish some kind of preciousness unnoticed by people. Compared with plastic wrap, it is more wonderful to wander in time and space and quietly wait for you to dig and update everything at the same time. That's probably what "remembering" means. "Rodin's Lover", which did not bring much excitement at the beginning, appeared in my mind in another form and meaning after the situation changed. It was able to cater to the mood at this time, and it became more and more inextricable. From the film The perception (or thinking) guides me towards relief, indifference and even willingness to undertake. Russell said: "There is no lack of beauty in life, it is just a lack of discovery." - The fast-paced way of life coerces us to blindly search for some money, an emotion, a job, a person, a place, what is it? Is it what you really want? Sadly, before we even had time to ask this question, we were swept to the other end by the trend of the times, indulging in vain vanity and unable to extricate ourselves. We extravagantly expect the warmth given by others, and yearn to be rescued, but we are hurting each other. linger; dear, have you ever been bored, tired? Then please stop for a while, listen to a good song, read a good book or watch a good movie, and savor it carefully, you will feel warm but don’t need to worry about repayment, relaxed pleasure, it will silently bow down Your ear tells you: you were never alone.
I watched this movie again yesterday afternoon, on a gloomy afternoon, hiding in a room with doors and windows closed, smoking a cigarette and spending more than 160 minutes on a movie tour - "This film is a masterpiece in the French film industry. , is the representative work of Isabella Adjani, the three-time Caesar Award actress of France's current Red Star. The filming lasted for five years and caused a sensation around the world. It won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival and five Caesar Awards. Best Foreign Language Film at the 1990 Oscars was the most popular film." - Looking at these exciting awards, I suddenly felt numb and indifferent; whether these dazzling halos are also like the great Rodin bestowed on Camille Like a child's love, so nihilistic, ethereal or selfish? ——Is it a sincere compensation or a hypocritical attempt to cover up after insisting on providing a small exhibition hall for the former lover in my own museum? Others are understandable, but...
Can you imagine? What kind of love is a love that imprisoned a person for 58 years; do you believe it? A gifted genius is ruined because of a love. In 1885, when Camille met Rodin, one was a world-renowned master in the sculpture world, and the other was a mad and persistent student studying sculpture. Although the emergence of love was inevitable, it seemed to be natural or not uncommon. "Where did the clay come from?" "Under my feet, in Paris." The questions and answers are simple and subtle, and all the wonders, possibilities and reverie of the intersection seem to be condensed in this question and answer; in 1898, Camille I left Rodin and lived in a rented room to create crazy creations, began to drink, became irritable, perverse and neurotic; 13 years, there are thousands of things that may happen, Camille and Rodin's love from the initial fiery, Madness turned into mutual evasion and even hatred, "I wish I never knew you..." Camille's words still ring in my ears, including helpless sighs and unreachable regrets, But more of it is surrender, yes, surrender to the determination of fate, make helpless pleas, and beg for mercy - helpless until this point, straight teaching is like a knife; from 1898 to 1913, it was not so much Camille Rather than struggling to the death, it is better to say that fate is killing him in the end. One after another absurd things ran out of the nerves that were extremely oppressed. He was paranoid, radical, worried about gains and losses, suspicious, and his handsome face was still beautiful. Painted with vulgar powder by the evil, her precarious pallor betrays the overdraft of her life, yet she has unknowingly sacrificed her much-maligned life, her previously clear eyes are no longer bright, and our angel is full after her broken wings. Teased by the devil - seeing this, it's a challenge to restrain one's own tears - silent grief, no one has done anything wrong, but why should we alone as angelic beautiful and lovely Camille do it all alone ? What kind of crime was committed, and the one who deserves to live deserves such a big punishment: the abandonment of the lover, the disappointment of the relatives, the contempt of the world, and the loss of self, the Chinese say: "Murder is no more than a nod... ..." So, in the face of Camille at this moment, should we say, "How can I bear it" or "How can I bear it"? ——How can you not make people cry...
The movie is coming to an end here. A black-carriage truck carries Camille away. After rows of subtitles, the movie comes to an end. The subtitle captures a letter from Camille to her brother Paul, with the last inscription "Your sister in exile, Camille Claude." Paul, the poetry-loving brother who once idolized Camille, was buried because of her dazzling talent, and after she finally became famous, she held an exhibition for Camille. At this moment, facing this completely crazy sister, we How should the poets feel? The film concludes with a live-action photo of Camille Claude and what happened after: she died on October 19, 1943, after three decades in a lunatic asylum; Like the actor Isabella Adjani, she has a pair of beautiful eyes.
——Things that can make people think are always good. After scrutinizing this film, it is no longer just about the subtlety of the story. The heavy thoughts are about men, women, love and art. Just imagine, in Paris, France, more than 100 years ago, when the great writer Victor Hugo died, who was in the studio of the great sculptor Rodin, whose heart was rippling and his thoughts were like a spring-there are accurate information that: "In the more than ten years between 1885 and 1896, when Rodin and Camille were in love, Rodin created very good works, such as "The Crouching Woman", "I am Beautiful", "God's Caress", etc. Many people think that , Rodin gave Camille the greatest passion of his life." Love is never one-way, when the flame of passion was burning, the great Rodin was also crazy, such a fiery love can only be expressed through a piece of work Come out, cast into the soil, and become immortal. Later, the tragedy composed of Camille's hysteria and Rodin's rational avoidance seems to have been attributed to the difference in artistic opinion. In the face of this grand tragedy, Rodin is obviously helpless. It is no wonder that some people say: "What an artist can do You can only destroy yourself.” Reflection—the only one who can destroy the artist can only be yourself, then, while lamenting the tragic experience of Camille, you should also let Rodin go. After all, this man has his own special forbearance. Crazy doesn't mean desperate.
"I really regret meeting you, I'd rather go to a lunatic asylum, that's where you can't wait for me to go; your sensitive hands have touched my naked belly, but you can't detect her change" - Camille after losing her child In the end, I left the love that I depended on for my survival in extreme panic, and the desolate night scene with nothing can not help but make people feel desolate; and the movie uses a straightforward method, without any fancy and objective records. The ins and outs of this feeling, classical The full-flavoured footage shows exceptional cleanliness. Maybe even though Camille Claude did not forgive her imaginary old enemy for her death, after watching the film and chewing it carefully, I felt a sense of relief. of liberation.
This is a film that reflects the patriarchal society from a female perspective, so the performance of the heroine is very important. Although Isabella Adjani and Gérard Depardieu's rivalry is comparable, but watching In such a movie, we can’t help but focus on the heroine, so Isabella’s gestures are always in our hearts, and her innocent eyes, precarious neuroticism, and the image of the original script are almost made in heaven. Therefore, it is not too much to say that the representative work of Isabella Adjani, the three-time Caesar Award winner of "Rodin's Lover", although in such films as "Queen Margot" and "The Story of Adele Hugo" All have good performances, but only this "Rodin's Lover" can show its value as an actor: whoever I choose.
Finally, back to Camille Claude, although this poor woman did everything she could to get rid of the title of "Rodin's Lover" in the rest of her life, however, a hundred years later, whether it is a film or a biography, it is translated into Chinese. "Rodin's Lover" - irony - radicals can't help but be so indignant; but if there is no love with Rodin, and it is not asked if Camille would be so beautiful and heartbreaking, even to recognize her It seems to be a question of suspicion - the arrangement of fate is often ironic, just like their encounter.
