      "Pierrot le Fou"--It Is A Crazy Movie

      After the Greek civilization came the Renaissance, which now enters the "hip age". The male protagonist, Ferdinand, married a stupid Italian woman. He wanted to divorce, but he became lazy, so he was too lazy to leave. When he attended a party organized by his father-in-law's house and listened to the boring conversations carried out by people from all walks of life, the picture changed between red, yellow,...

      Rolling Pierrot

      Pierrot is a star I liked very much in Turin, Italy.
      Now I like Inzaghi more.

      Pierrot le fou reminds me of Antonioni Professione: Reporter
      If you push it a little
      further, maybe you can count on not seeing Cai Mingliang's "Face" "

      From the lines, it seems that
      Godard has the temperament of a poet.
      Anton can only write novels . Cai Mingliang
      can't even speak very well.

      From the imagery,
      Cai Mingliang is too simple. The limbs are...

      Excerpt


      A spirit of nostalgia prevails yet we see none of the ugliness or sadness. None of the gloom or cruelty of this crushed childhood. Velazquez

As the seldom went out during the day, when everything was drowned I torrid sunshine Spanish painter communed with the evening

      Grandmaster

      Whether you admit it or not, we are all in the age of no masters. In the words of Andy Warhol, who became famous after fiddling with a few colorful Monroes, everyone has 15 minutes to become famous and be bloody. The "small era" described by Guo Jingming.

      In the afternoon when I was sick and had to take leave at home, after a deep sleep, I found out about the French new wave film master Godard's "Pierlot the Madman". I was almost moved by myself. This is a paradox. When literature and...

      The inability to communicate between men and women, the flight like male and female thieves, every outfit of Karina, Belmondo's ankles and hair, irresistible hues, harsh daily light, and clever movement that blends seamlessly with space. Mirrors, and even jumpers are gradually becoming cute. But this was never the romance I expected. Godard was too free and ruined the...

      Godard was the least favorite of the New Wave. This one is not so disgusting, the lines are very good, and it is no wonder that it is praised by Aragorn. It is a poem. At the same time think of "Midnight in Paris". Godard used words to pay tribute to the masters, Woody Allen used pictures. In contrast, I felt that Allen was just counting the treasures, so he failed to touch me. Godard was different. He was empathizing and conveying, so he was obviously...

      "What is the essence of film?" "Film is like a battlefield, love, hatred, violence, death. One word summed up, emotion". "Film time is more stretched than actual time, and the filmmaker can have his own subjectivity, that's the idea of ​​cinema." -...

      I accidentally watched Godard again, this one is in color anyway. . Although the plot is very jumpy, dismembered and weightless, it is quite interesting, much lighter than the dull and lengthy process of breathless. The other is still the hopeless romantic escape of men and women, and the desperation of men about "why women turn their faces faster than...

    Evaluation action

    The film transforms the escape of a man and a woman into an existential romantic story, while adding speculation on aesthetics, narrative and art. The film's thread is a bit messy, but the style is fascinating, creating a world of art for art's sake with very personal colors and compositions, with a strong experimental nature   . (Sohu Entertainment Review)
    The film is undoubtedly a pioneering video experiment in that era. It is...
