In "The Name of Carmen," director Jean-Luc Godard presents his creative quest, rejecting a complete one-liner, the bank robbery of Carmen and his accomplices, Godard's morbid intervention, and doing his own way. There is a stringed four-fold Qin, and the background outside the four-fold Qin music is the sea scene that is repeatedly presented. The poetic picture formed by the composition and combination of all these makes the audience, after the initial visual excitement, firstly marvel at the extraordinary use of Godard's film methods, even including the characters' language being cut and assembled in the picture. All give a fresh and profound inspiration. Godard's film form itself has actually shown a kind of meaning, or the idea of form. Under the shroud of this form of thinking, it is even possible to regard the setting of the characters in the film, the composition of the pictures, and the composition of the language as serving this form. The form gives people a visual experience, so this form also determines the tone and essence of the whole film, it even goes beyond Godard's deeper interpretation of "Carmen", or it is incorporated in a distinct form Godard's interpretation of "Carmen"
