freewheeling desire pursuit

Going for Godard's "Exhausted" and "As You Want", it was initially the faded feeling of the posters. It was only discovered that the two heroines were very short-lived. Saves a lot of shading.
The music at the beginning seems to run through the whole work, the long passages have a sense of urgency, and the depression came in early. The classic phrase "lending myself to her and burying my head in myself", combined with the two black backs of the head at the beginning of the film, immediately erected the flu of consciousness in Godard's film. It's just that the whole film is too jumpy, and some blanks lack space for replenishment. However, it continues the surreal style of "Exhausted". It should be said that the films of the 1960s coexisted with the postmodernism of literature, but the film field could more intuitively grasp the sense of opposition of the times.
Antonioni, Fellini, Godard, Truffaut, etc. all picked up a few representative films to watch, each with a different style, and personally I still prefer Antonioni and Godard. It can be said that the pioneers of the new wave have really broadened the horizons of the film field. Whether it is criticism or for their own development, philosophical art always has a strong vitality. The structure of Godard's two films can be said to be perfect, especially the rigorous and clean beginnings, which are as refreshing and not procrastinating as the short hair that is neatly aligned.
Maybe the meaning of life unfolds in them in a whole new way. Just like the title of the movie.

Vivre Sa Vie quotes

  • The Philosopher: It's in Plato, you know. It's an old idea. I don't think one can distinguish a thought from the words that express it. A moment of thought can only be grasped through words.

  • Nana: Suddenly I don't know what to say. It happens to me a lot. I think first about whether they're the right words. But when the moment comes to speak, I can't say it. Why must one always talks? I think one should often just keep quiet, live in silence. The more one talks, the less the words mean.
