"Memory & Time in Hiroshima Mon Amour"

I feel like what intrigued me about her is the way she was trying to acknowledge things about how people deal with love and trauma back when people weren't good at addressing those topics yet.
They still aren't because if they were, we wouldn't have ICE kidnapping and terrorizing and assaulting innocent people.
But at least we can acknowledge things like PTSD more now.
The field of psychology wasn't very far along as far as treating people with post-traumatic stress disorder after WWII. She did suffer, and she had a lot of health problems later in life. But as an artist, she managed to get a lot accomplished, getting a certain point of view out there and being respected by her peers.
I think the first time I watched the Hiroshima Mon Amour film in college was probably around the time when she died.
A picture of her in the woods when she was young kind of reminded me of a time I had some healing work done on me, and then very softly, in my head, I heard "Kiss them for me..." 🎶 and I thought of people in the French resistance.
