Before we taste the film, let's first take a look at what the New Wave is.
The French New Wave film movement was the third film movement with world influence after European avant-gardeism and Italian neorealism. There is no fixed organization, no uniform statement, no complete artistic program.
The essence of this movement is a movement that calls for a radical transformation of cinematic art in the spirit of modernism.
This movement has two parts. One is the author's film, which is strictly a "new wave" in the strict sense. The other is the author's film The Left Bank.
Due to the specific historical background, the Second World War has just ended, the economic situation is bleak, people's minds are wandering in confusion, and a new generation of young people has their own ideas.
The "Beat Generation" of the United States, the "angry youth" of Britain, the "Century of Suffering" or the "New Wave" of France; Therefore, in the "New Wave" films, from the theme to the plot, from the style to the expression method, all carry the imprint of this era.
In short, it was a huge film reform movement. Qingka's favorite representative of the New Wave is Truffaut's Four Hundred Blows.
In 1959, love for Hiroshima appeared at the climax of the New Wave and is believed to have detonated a spiritual atomic bomb.
In French Cinema, George Sadur argues that "the love of Hiroshima, with its obvious political stance and strange and novel form, reached the rarest peak of realism, perhaps marking a turning point in the history of cinema".
The plot is extremely weak. An unromantic French actress comes to Japan to make a movie and then meets a Japanese architect. The two men had a long night stand.
In the process of having sex, women and men are always immersed in memories. Women recall their first love, which seems immoral to outsiders—an enemy of a German soldier, while men recall the shame of a defeated country.
But its meaning is multifaceted, more philosophical and spiritual.
For more than 40 years, as long as the film "Love of Hiroshima" by playwright Alan Renaissance was mentioned in the world as the film industry, it couldn't help but think about war, chaos, compassion, emptiness, anxiety, character alienation, adventure separation, death and love, and so on, about human emotions and attraction, and the helplessness of life.
It's all about the ups and downs of the inner world.
On the screen, we can still feel the violent explosion in the black-and-white movie "Love of Hiroshima" when the character appears under the lights. We can still feel it very intuitively. The bare limbs covered with dust on the screen are not only physically shaken and tortured atomic bombs, but also serious mental injuries.
Allen uses ray in the film novel's unique narrative approach and film language to explore the rich inner world of the characters, combining the intersection of internal and external realities to create a different traditional realism film text, changing the original surrealism more easily for the public to understand and accept advanced realism.
The ruins of war, darkness and light, the naked bodies of men and women, old yellowed photographs, memories of sweet love can be seen everywhere in the film...
In a way, these dark images convey a strong sense of oppression.
It must be said that this film is a typical boring film, and the film of the typical label of the writer is also a "boring film", just as the initiator of the French literary "writer's film", the director of Arenray is the film "Left Bank School" representing the "Hiroshima" fighter is a boring film.
But a good director, even if he only watches one scene, is deeply touched.
