The woman whose life was crushed by Rodin

The woman whose life was crushed by Rodin Most of us know Rodin, mostly from the introduction of middle school textbooks. Famous French sculptor, his masterpiece "The Thinker" is on display at the Rodin Museum in Paris for the worship of art pilgrims from all over the world. And another talented female artist Camille Claudel. However, it was known by later generations as "Rodin's lover", which is an unethical title. The movie "Rodin's Lover" tells us about the sad and pitiful life of this legendary woman. Someone on the barrage said that Camille was the woman who was crushed by Rodin. I don't agree with this kind of general, single, and partial evaluation. But Camille's life was indeed crushed. A talented female artist born in a wealthy French family with the face of an angel, she couldn't extricate herself after her love failed, so she was finally impoverished and died, and was sent to a mental hospital until she died . Before meeting Rodin, Camille was considered a high-end version of "Bai Fumei" and a talented sculpture woman who "becomes famous as soon as possible". But just like the experience of Zhang Ailing, the author of this sentence, "love" is born to play tricks on people, especially women, emotional women. Coincidentally. Zhang Ailing once wrote a passage, "When she saw him, she became very low and low, low in the dust. But she was happy in her heart, and flowers bloomed from the dust." This is what she once wrote to Hu Lancheng, the man who is 15 years older than her. Although he is a traitor, he is actually a genius. Eileen Chang's love tragedy is well known. But in fact, this "low to dust" state is the true portrayal of most people in love. Step back in time to 19th century Paris, France. Camille fell in love with Rodin, the famous sculptor at the time, and she loved her to the death. After the accidental pregnancy, because he couldn't get the "name" given by the man, he parted ways with the man, and fell in love with each other and killed each other until only "kill" was left. She even suffered from a severe "persecutory fantasy". In the eyes of boys, the talented girl with "eyes as clear as lake water" was destroyed by love because of love. When love comes, you can't tell the truth; when love is gone, you can't stand it. But is it really because of "love"? Or is it because of your "emotional intelligence" that you can't do at all? ! 1. Did Rodin really love Camille? Only Rodin himself knew the answer. But Rodin's love history is not shallow, and he uses his spare time to search for flowers and willows. For Rodin, Camille was just one of many women, his student, model, mistress, and for Camille, Rodin was her whole world. Such a deformed emotional model is bound to create a height gap between the two of them. This also explains why Camille reacted so erratically after the breakup, even ruining her own life. 2. Love is gone, so what? It is often heard that some pseudo-education experts are bullying on the Internet, "Girls need to be rich, so that they will not be easily deceived by men in the future." I am especially disgusted with this kind of nutritious nonsense. It sounds reasonable at first glance, but in fact it has no position. Camille was born into a wealthy family, and her father loved her dearly. Needless to say, the so-called "rich nourishment". As for "deception", there is no deception in love, love is love, those lightning flints after meeting, those who meet each other late after knowing each other, and those who are in love. The word "cheating" can be summed up in one word. What parents give to their children, whether they are rich or poor, is the cultivation of their "adverse quotient", that is, their comprehensive coping ability in the face of setbacks. For girls, the saddest thing should be love. I read an article before about Xu Zhimo's ex-wife Zhang Youyi. The most famous genius in the Republic of China abandoned his wife and children for his true "love", and the small-footed woman Zhang Youyi not only did not live as a resentful woman, but lived in complaints and hatred all her life, instead, she became self-improvement in adversity and became a Shanghai woman's commercial savings. Vice President of the Bank, General Manager of Yunshang Clothing Company, until his death at the age of 88. When a person is cornered, there are only two choices, one is self-destruction, the other is to start over. Imagine that Camille regained her strength after being frustrated in love. With her artistic talent for sculpture, it is unknown that she surpassed Rodin. As for the latter, becoming a CEO, reaching the pinnacle of life, and living in textbooks, these are not a problem. 3. Be yourself first, then be "Who's Who of So-and-so" Camille's family genes are particularly strong and her own talents are brilliant. Her younger brother is the famous writer Paul Claudel. Camille is said to have been a huge source of inspiration for Rodin, but during her time with him, she had almost no work of her own. In the movie, Camille's father hates that iron cannot become steel, and is heartbroken by his daughter's behavior. And Camille, who assisted Rodin wholeheartedly, "lived without self", became a model for Rodin, devoted herself to him, got pregnant, was approached by Rodin's long-term girlfriend, had an abortion, and had a miscarriage. Despite this, he still could not get a name from Rodin. The family had previously moved to Paris for her sculpture dream, and finally had to return to her place of origin. For a time, poor Camille felt the desperation of being abandoned by the world. Seeing this, I almost don't want to use "sympathy" to comment on her experience, but I definitely don't use such indifferent words as "deserving". Think of a passage in "The Reader": "May you have good luck, if not, I hope you learn compassion in misfortune; may you be loved by many people, if not Yes, I hope you learn tolerance in loneliness.

    The woman with blue lake-like eyes, when she shouted his name downstairs, and he was in pain, almost silently enduring everything, I just couldn't understand whether it was harder to love or to endure love.

    I saw the comment saying: "A woman's sorrow is often that if she deeply loves an abstract thing, academic or artistic, it must be implemented in a specific man." I can even agree with this. It took nearly three hours to feel the desperate sense of such a fiery life with outstanding talents that Adjani played out, slowly extinguishing until it became ashes.
