What is the purpose of writing this article by the author of Hiroshima incident?

1On August 6, 945, the US military dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, which accelerated the end of the Second World War. It opposes killing a large number of peaceful people with atomic bombs. However, if two atomic bombs had not been dropped in succession, Japanese imperialism would not have surrendered immediately, and the war might have dragged on, and the people of all countries and Japan would have suffered even greater losses.

first part

A film about peace.

1957 Summer, August, Hiroshima.

A French woman in her thirties is in this city. She came to participate in a film about peace, and she played a role in the film.

The story happened on the eve of the French woman's return to China. The film in which she plays a role is actually almost finished. There is only one set of shots left to shoot.

On the eve of her return to France, the French woman whose name has never been mentioned in the film will meet a Japanese (engineer or architect), and they have a fleeting relationship.

In the film, it is not clear how they met. Because that's not the problem. Meet by chance, the world is everywhere. What matters is what happens after these common encounters.

At the beginning of the film, the audience can't see the lovers who meet. I can't see her. I can't see him either. What I saw were mutilated bodies-waist-high-cut off-crawling-crawling in the flame of longing for the sea or in dying struggle-covered with ashes, dew, the death haze of the atomic bomb-and sweat after the lust was satisfied.

Their bodies are only gradually revealed from these amorphous and hazy bodies.

They are all lying in the hotel room. They are naked. Smooth body, intact.

What are they talking about? It is about Hiroshima.

She told him that she had seen everything in Hiroshima. The audience saw what she saw. These sights are terrible. However, his opinion is negative. He thinks these scenes are deceptive. He repeated objectively and embarrassedly that she saw nothing in Hiroshima.

The topic of their first conversation was full of hints. In a word, this is an opera dialogue. It is impossible to talk about Hiroshima. All anyone can do is talk about it. It is impossible to talk about Hiroshima. The understanding of Hiroshima was put forward at the beginning of the film as an illusion in the mind.

At the beginning, this series of official activities to commemorate the tragedy held in Hiroshima, which were recalled in the hotel bed, and this blasphemous memory were deliberately arranged. People can talk about Hiroshima anywhere, even between men and women who meet by chance and fall in love at first sight, and in the bed of a hotel where they have an affair. The bodies of two truly loving heroes and heroines in the film remind us of this. If there is any blasphemy, the real blasphemy is Hiroshima itself. There is no need to be hypocritical and avoid the essence of the problem.

Although the historical sites of Hiroshima are rarely shown to the audience, they are just poor remnants of an empty relic. However, the audience must be able to get rid of this memory, eliminate prejudice and be ready to listen to the stories about our two protagonists that will be told to them.

Well, then let's go back to their story.

Simple story. This kind of story happens every day, thousands. Japanese men are married and have children. French women are also married and have two children. They had a one-night stand.

But where is it? In Hiroshima.

This hug is so ordinary, so ordinary, but it happened in one of the most unimaginable cities in the world: Hiroshima. In Hiroshima, I know nothing. Every gesture, every sentence reflects a special aura, which makes it have overtones beyond the literal meaning. This is one of the main intentions of the film, which breaks the technique of describing horror with horror, because this technique has always been used by the Japanese, but it has revived this horror in the ashes after the robbery, and blended into a unique "amazing" love. But if the film is shot in other parts of the world, in a place that has not experienced such a terrible death, the effect will be different, and the audience will believe this film shot in Hiroshima more.

The first part is honesty, kindness and hypocrisy.

These two people from different countries are very different in philosophy, historical background, economic situation and race, but Hiroshima is the only place they have (perhaps the only place in the world? )。 There, the common sexual desire, love and misfortune of human beings are fully displayed. Lying can be tolerated anywhere except Hiroshima. Not in Hiroshima, where "falsehood" cannot exist and cannot be rejected.

In their hazy sleep, they are still talking about Hiroshima. In different ways. They are burning with desire, and perhaps they are pregnant with love that they are unconsciously pregnant with.

Their conversation involves themselves and Hiroshima. Their topics are intertwined and criss-crossed. So from then on, after the dialogue of Hiroshima opera, these seamless topics are difficult to distinguish.

Although their personal stories are so short, they always dominate and overwhelm the story of Hiroshima.

If we don't adhere to this premise, then this film can only be another "obedient" film, dull and tasteless, just a fictional documentary. If we insist on this premise, it will be made into a similar fabricated documentary, but it will be more convincing than ordinary news documentaries in drawing lessons from Hiroshima incident.

They woke up. When she got dressed, they talked again. They talked about the East and the West, as well as Hiroshima. Why not? This is natural. We are in Hiroshima.

Suddenly, she appeared in front of her eyes in the uniform of a Red Cross nurse.

Seeing her in this dress is simply a uniform showing traditional virtues, and he is eager to get her again. He hopes to see her again. To be exact, he is like everyone else. This disguise contains an erotic element that will attract all men. (eternal nurse in eternal war ...)

So, why does she need him, but she doesn't want to see him again? She did not give a clear reason.

When they woke up, they also talked about her past.

What happened in her hometown of Naawer and Nevre province where she grew up? What happened in life to make her like this: bohemian and nervous, honest and kind, hypocritical and rude, so ambiguous and so clear? Why are you so eager to experience a casual relationship? And in front of love, you are so timid?

She told him that one day she went crazy in Nava. She is so fierce that she is crazy. She described it as if she were smart and decisive in Naawer. The same tone.

She didn't say whether this "incident" of Naawer could explain her behavior in Hiroshima. She described Naawer's "incident" as if she were talking about something else. There is no explanation.

She left. She decided not to see him again.

But they will meet again.

Four p. m. Peace Square in Hiroshima (or in front of the hospital).

Photographers are leaving the scene (in movies, we always see them leaving with equipment). Someone is tearing down the stands and taking down the hanging flags.

The French woman fell asleep in the shade of the demolished stands.

People have just finished an educational film about peace. This is by no means a ridiculous movie, but just another movie. That's all.

The first part is personal unfortunate experience.

A group of people poured in again along the set of the just-concluded movie, and a Japanese man walked through the crowd. This man is the man whom we met in the hotel room this morning. When he saw a French woman, he stopped, then went to her and watched her sleep. His eyes awakened her. They looked at each other and both longed for each other. He didn't come here by accident. He came to see her again.

Almost as soon as they met, the parade began. This is the last shot of the film. Children's team, student team. Dogs. Cats. Street tramp The whole of Hiroshima has been deployed, and its grand occasion is just like when all activities conducive to world peace were held before. The parade became strange.

The weather is very hot. The sky is overcast and a storm is coming. They waited for the parade to pass by. While waiting, he told her that he thought he was in love with her.

He took her to his house. They talked briefly about their lives.

Their marriage is very happy, and there is no need to seek anything else to make up for the misfortune of husband and wife's life.

It was at his house that she talked about Naawer during sex with him.

She left his home after all. "In order to kill time before she left," they went to a cafe standing by the water. The night is already thick.

They stayed there for a few more hours. The time for her flight to leave Rosty Yi is getting closer, but their love is getting deeper and deeper.

It was in this cafe that she told him why she went crazy in Nava.

1944, when she was 20 years old, her hair was shaved in Naawer. Her first love was German. Killed when France was about to be liberated.

She stayed naked in Naawer's basement. It was at the time of the Hiroshima incident that she became decent. She was able to walk out of the basement into the street and mingle with the cheerful crowd.

Why did you choose such a personal unfortunate experience? No doubt, because it is also absolute. Shaving a girl's head just because she falls in love with the country's legal enemy is absolutely terrible and stupid. We saw Naawer, just as we saw him in his room. They talked about themselves again. Naawer and his love scenes and Hiroshima and their love scenes alternate again. Everything is mixed together, without the expected principle, but in a way that will happen anytime and anywhere. In these scenes, the first lover is always chattering and chattering.

She left again. She avoided him again.

She tried to go back to the hotel to calm down, but she couldn't; She walked out of the hotel again and returned to the closed cafe. She stayed there. Recalling Naawer (inner monologue) is recalling love itself.

The man followed her. She realized it. She stared at him. They stared at each other affectionately. This short-lived love, like Nanawa's love, will be stifled. Therefore, it is doomed to be forgotten. Therefore, it is eternal (because it is maintained by forgetting itself).

In the first part, she didn't talk to him again.

She stopped falling in love with him.

She wandered about the street. And he followed, as if following a woman he had never met. At some point, he caught up with her and left her in Hiroshima like a commentator. She said "no". Rejected like everyone else. She is as weak as everyone else.

Indeed, for them, the overall situation has been decided.

He stopped insisting.

She strolled towards the station. He caught up with her. They looked at each other like ghosts.

After that, they stopped talking. Her imminent departure plunged them into a bleak and gloomy silence.

This is love. They can only keep silent. The last scene took place in a cafe. The audience will see her with another Japanese man.

We saw the man she loved sitting at a table, motionless, and he had no other reaction except deep despair. This despair is beyond his physical endurance, and he can only bear it. As if she had "someone else". And he can only understand.

She returned to her room at dawn. A few minutes later, he knocked at the door. He can't help himself, and he can't avoid coming. He said apologetically, "It is impossible for me not to come."

Nothing happened in the room. They are all in a terrible situation of helplessness. The convention of "secular order" still exists, and they will never disturb the normal order around them again.

They don't trust each other No more action.

They just called each other again. What are you calling? Hiroshima Naawer. In fact, they are still nobody to each other. They only have place names, and these are not names. It's like the disaster of Naawer's woman who shaved her head and the disaster of Hiroshima set off each other accurately.

She said to him, "Hiroshima, this is your name."

the second part

Clarify the original idea

I try to be as truthful as I can. I'm Allen? The work "Love in Hiroshima" directed by Reynet.

I hope readers don't treat Allen like this? I am surprised that the pictures designed by Reynet are not faithfully depicted in this work.

My duty is limited to expounding the factors of directing this film with Reynet as the starting point.

Those passages about Naawer that did not belong to the original script (July 58) were annotated before the film was shot in France (581February). So it is independent of the script (see appendix: explanation of Christmas Eve).

I think it is necessary to keep some things discarded in the film, which can effectively sort out the original ideas.

I gave the job to the publishing house, but unfortunately I can't use us-on the one hand, Reynet and I, on the other hand, Gé rard? Jarrett and I, as well as Reynet, jarrett and I-analyze the dialogue of the script almost every day to enrich it.

I can't live without their advice. Whenever I finish writing an episode, I always invite them to read it, listen to their harsh, clear and insightful criticism, and then start writing another plot.

The second part of the atomic bomb explosion of all kinds of physical evidence

At the beginning of the film, the infamous "mushroom" cloud rises on the bikini nuclear test base.

The audience should feel this "mushroom cloud" for the first time and the second time.

"Mushroom Cloud" should be vigorous, huge and slow-growing, and it is made by Giovanni? Fisgo's music is accompanied by the first few beats, setting off its rolling rise.

As this "mushroom cloud" rises on the screen, two bare shoulders gradually appear under the smoke cloud.

The audience only saw these two shoulders, which are part of the body with the waist level cut off.

These two shoulders hug each other tightly, covered with ashes, rain, dew or sweat, which anyone can imagine at will.

The key is to make people feel that this dew or sweat is spilled by the "mushroom" cloud [on the bikini nuclear test base] in the process of rising and drifting.

This picture is bound to produce a very strong and contradictory feeling, both fresh and sudden.

The shoulders of the two hugs are different in color, one deep and one shallow.

Figo's music is accompanied by this almost disgusting hug.

The difference between two different hands should be very obvious.

Figo's music changed from strong to weak, and a woman's hand [big after close-up] was placed on her yellow shoulder and never moved again. The so-called "release" is just a statement, and "grasp" seems to be more accurate.

A heavy and calm man's voice sounds like reading aloud:

he

You saw nothing in Hiroshima. There is nothing to see.

This sentence can be used casually.

A woman's voice, very hoarse and heavy, answered without cadence like reciting:

she

I saw it all. Nothing is lacking.

Figo's music started again. At this time, the woman's white hand just pinched, loosened and caressed her shoulder, leaving several nail prints on this yellow shoulder.

The impression of this nail seems to imply that this is a punishment for the sentence "No, you didn't see anything in Hiroshima".

Then, the woman's voice rang again, still calm and lifeless, like chanting:

she

I even saw the hospital. I have no doubt about it. There is a hospital in Hiroshima. How can I avoid this situation?

Hospitals, corridors, stairs and patients are displayed on the screen one by one under the ruthless shooting of the camera. The audience will never see her watching all this on the screen. )

Now the camera is back to the hand that keeps grabbing the yellow shoulder.

he

You didn't see the hospital in Hiroshima. You saw nothing in Hiroshima.

Then a woman's voice becomes more objective. Emphasize every word (including profound meaning)

At this time, the pictures of the museum are displayed one by one. Light is dazzling and annoying, just like light hitting a hospital.

Information boards flashed out one by one.

All kinds of physical evidence of atomic bomb explosion.

A fragmented model.

Twisted steel bar

[Tourists stop there to meditate. Presumably, we can say that every opportunity that can make people think is always carefully prepared. There is no irony in saying this. However, those monumental buildings, though people sometimes laugh them off, are the best excuses for these opportunities ...]

she

The temperature in the second part will be as high as 10 thousand degrees

The tragedy will repeat itself.

Shade.

Church.

Tame death.

Dachuan estuary is triangular, and its seven tributaries sometimes dry up and sometimes rise. They are only filled with foul water at the usual high tide; With the difference of time and season, the river is sometimes gray and sometimes clear. this

How can I doubt that this city belongs to born to love?

How could I doubt that you were born for my body?

I like you. What an amazing thing. You make me happy.

Suddenly, how slow.

How gentle.

You can't understand.

You killed me.

You are so kind to me.

You killed me.

You are so kind to me.

I have time.

I beg you.

Eat me.

Make me ugly.

Why don't you do this?

Why don't you do it in this city, just tonight, a night so similar to other nights?

I beg you. ...

Suddenly, a very gentle woman's face appeared on the screen, reaching out to the man's face.

she

Your skin is really good.

The man let out a happy moan.

she

you ...

Japanese men's faces and women's faces appeared on the screen together, with ecstatic laughter, and he laughed beyond description. He turned around.

he

I, yes, you will see me clearly.

Two naked people appeared. The same woman's voice sounded very low, but this time she didn't recite such an exaggerated accent.

she

Are you Japanese through and through, or are you not completely Japanese?

he

I am Japanese to the core.

he

You have a pair of green eyes. Is it?

she

Oh, I think … Yes … I think my eyes are green.

He stared at her. Whispered:

he

You seem to have a thousand women in one. ...

she

That's because you don't know me. That's why.

he

Maybe not.

she

Gathering/kloc-0.000 women for you won't make me unhappy.

She kissed his shoulder and rested her head in his shoulder socket. Her head sideways to the open window, sideways to Hiroshima, sideways to the vast night. A man is walking in the street, coughing (I can't see him in the picture, I only hear the sound). She stood up.

she

Listen ... it's four o'clock. ...

he

What happened?

she

I don't know who this man is. He passes by here at four o'clock every morning. Besides, he coughs.

Silence. They looked at each other.

she

You, you are in Hiroshima. ...

He smiled, as if laughing at her childishness.

he

No ... of course not.

The third part touches his naked shoulder again.

She touched his bare shoulder again. This shoulder is really beautiful and has never been hurt.

she

Oh, that's ... how stupid of me.

She almost laughed.

He suddenly stared at her, serious and hesitant, and then he finally said to her:

he

My home was in Hiroshima at that time. I went to war.

She stopped touching his shoulder.

This time, she smiled and asked him timidly:

she

You're lucky, aren't you?

He looked away and considered whether to answer "yes" or "no":

he

be

She added very sincerely and definitely:

she

I'm lucky, too

Stop for a moment.

he

Why did you come to Hiroshima? she

Make a movie.

he

What, a movie?

she

I played a role in a movie.

he

So, where were you before you came to Hiroshima?

she

In Paris.

Pause for a moment, pause for a longer time.

he

Before Paris? ……

she

Before Paris? ..... I'm in Nava. Ne-Wei-Er.

he

Neville?

she

In Nevre province. You are not familiar with it.

Stop for a moment. As if he had just discovered some connection between Hiroshima and Nava, he asked.

he

Why did you come to Hiroshima to see all this?

She tried her best to answer sincerely:

she

I am interested in it. I have my own ideas about this. For example, I want to have a good look. I think this is very instructive.

The third part is related comments.

I can't see anything, write anything or say anything. Really, it is because there is nothing I can do that I have this movie.

Duras

If we must find a movie as an epoch-making milestone in the transformation of western movies from classical period to modern period, then this movie should undoubtedly be Love in Hiroshima. With its modern theme, ambiguous theme, shocking expression and close connection with the new novel school, Love in Hiroshima inspired and created modern movies in multiple senses.

1May, 959, Allen? Lei Nai came to Cannes, France, with his new film Love in Hiroshima, which was filmed last year, to attend the 12 film festival held here. This film, like a blockbuster, immediately caused a sensation in the whole western film industry. Some people think that this is an "unprecedented great work", "the end of classicism" and "ten years ahead of schedule, which makes all critics lose their courage."

"Love in Hiroshima" tells the story of an exotic love affair between a French actress filming in Japan and a Japanese architect, interspersed with the love tragedy between Hiroshima, which was attacked by atomic bombs during World War II, and the actress and German soldiers in the French town of Naville. People say "Love in Hiroshima" is the turning point of the film. For the first time, bold and novel narrative techniques appeared in the film. Film has taken over the territory dominated by literature for a long time, and surrealism and stream of consciousness are involved. The film broke the traditional realistic performance and established an omniscient narrator. The narrator is replaced by monologues of one or more characters. The world is no longer depicted, but reflected in people's minds, and the audience has to feel these movies in a new way.

In the late 1950s, a group of new French directors launched an anti-traditional film movement, which was called "New Wave". Young directors headed by Godard despise all traditional film narrative methods, and their films are obviously modernist. At the same time, the rising "Left Shore School" film group is usually regarded as a branch of the "new wave". Lei Nai is the representative of this group. Their films pay attention to the exploration of people's inner consciousness, and even use a lot of "stream of consciousness" techniques with strong modern colors.

The Left Bank School is closely related to literature, and a large part of the writers of the prevailing "new novel" school at that time were members of the Left Bank School. For example, Margaret, the representative of the "new novel" school? Duras's "new novel" writers have brought a strong literary style to the "Left Bank School" movies, so the "Left Bank School" movies are also called "writers' movies". The word "writer's film" has a broad double meaning. First, it means that the director of the film is the creator of the film, and the film must have a strong personal style; Secondly, the script of the film refuses to adapt the famous works, and only shows the original script to the film, a large part of which is the script created by the screenwriter for the film, and many expressions in the film are derived from literary expressions. "Margaret's" Hiroshima Love "? Duras wrote it, Allen? Director Lei Nai has undoubtedly become the masterpiece of Zuo An's films.

The interweaving of love, anti-war and anti-militarism in Love in Hiroshima benefits from Margaret? Duras's script is original, but looking at Allen? Rene's creative process, contemporary historical events (World War II and post-war events) and the influence of war on human destiny have always been the focus of his choice. Guernica, created in 1950, strongly protested the dehumanization bombing of this famous Spanish city by German fascists in 1937 with the help of Picasso's painting of the same name. 1955 Allen? Renai also filmed Night and Fog, and re-edited the black-and-white photos and news clips obtained from the archives to reproduce the cruel scenes of Nazi concentration camps. Love in Hiroshima is the logical continuation and destination of these two works.
