    Look how stupid


    What's the use of a movie being a dick
    Look at your surroundings How stupid

    [Last Film I Watched] Weekend (1967) 7.7/10

This is the callous premise of...

    I found that this is the open-air movie that was inexplicably invited to watch while riding in the park yesterday, the milestone of the new wave or something. Anyway, I didn't understand part of it because of the subtitles, but it was still a very interesting experience. I really like open-air movies! Such a boring movie Of the hundreds of people at the scene, only three or four people left the stage halfway through, and the fragment was disorderly and had an impression of traffic jams and rabbits. Even with Chinese subtitles I can only understand half of it.

    A film that rejects the "point of view", with massive lateral motion shots and pans scanning the screen, abstracted into a powerful form - "tracking shots is a moral issue". The camera movement is no longer mired in the objectivity or subjectivity that classical Hollywood likes to discern, but a game of provocation. If watching a Hollywood movie is a joy, it is a pain to watch Godard.

Weekend quotes

  • Roland: Sure I love you. You're my splendid bitch, you know that.

  • Corinne: It wasn't like a women's magazine romance. I don't know... his eyes were so hard... his mouth, his words. He started in the Mercedes. I told him I went for him. I wanted more than a quick screw. We ought to meet again somewhere. Cuddling in cars is dreary. I said to take me home and I'd call him in the afternoon. I wanted to screw, but I'd rather wait.

    Roland: What did he say?

    Corinne: He talked about my body, and how I turned him on and how it was vulgar and unkind.

    Roland: Did you think of me, too?

    Corinne: Of course I did.
