First and foremost a spoof.
The key to understanding Jean-Luc Godard's *Alphaville* is to realize that it is first and foremost a spoof. It spoofs nearly everything it touches: science fiction ; comic-books; George Orwell; Aldous Huxley; American private-eye movies; spy movies; technology in general and computers in particular; romantic love as presented in cinema. If you sit down to watch this expecting a high-minded piece of French New Wave cinema, you're going to end up being put-off.
This film can’t talk about depth. Even if you look at the era at the time, the most praised one is the social fiction. I have seen the 1984 Beautiful New World If you are a book like this, you know that the film has no breakthrough in this regard. As said in the above paragraph, this film is for watching Godard play tricks.
The cuteness of this film lies in the fact that the tough guy speaks a bunch of make no sense words in a literary accent, which is similar to Nagato’s words in cosmic language. The audience must find something profound and great from these conversations. Please keep the tough guy so ecstatic to do this.
Ashamed, I heard that this movie was mentioned in "After Darkness" before. It seems that the girl in it said about the survival mode of the characters in Alpha City, as well as being blunt and indifferent. Maybe Murakami wanted to borrow Alpha City. This alienated social model expresses the worries about Japan, which is also highly alienated nowadays, but I think that a serious person like him may cult this film and not from the perspective of trick. Japanese people always like to discuss things like youth growth. The older the older, the more they love to talk. The same 50-year-old Uncle Oshii is discussing growth this time, "Air Killer", which is very frustrating. Maybe he can meet in karate. A better answer sheet. Murakami is also getting more and more unwilling to write about his youth. I haven't read his new book "On Running". I hope he can really talk about his long-standing and well-known lifestyle that he has to write about in books. And talk about a phased result. When he accepted the Jerusalem Literary Prize last year, he said that he should always stand on the side of the egg. I really don’t want this sentence to mean “pretend the egg” literally. In fact, I really like the tone of some young people in his writing. These tones are certainly not a loss of humor.
