This is the weekend starting from "Saturday at ten o'clock in the morning", this is the trip of "Monday's Story", this is the confusion caused by "Tuesday in the Hundred Years War", this is the car accident "It's a week on Thursday", This is the adventure of "Friday far from the small village"... When the subtitles annotate time, when time forms a loop, where is the last Sunday when God created man and rested? What is nowhere to look for is not lack, but in a world full of weirdness, hypocrisy, and irony. God has been dispelled. When God’s faith becomes an absent symbol, the last Sunday is just a kind of sinking, a kind of death. , As well as massacre and consumption that are not human.
A rabbit seems to be the only proof of God’s miracle. At that time, their car was hijacked by a man and a woman. The woman in white wanted to hitchhike. When she got in the car, a man in red suddenly appeared behind her with a gun. They stopped and fired at their car, so they had to let the man get in the car during the gunfire, and then turned the front of the car to follow their route. Encountering a stranger, turning the front of the car, is this a turning point? It seems to have jumped from reality to the height of faith, but it is not their own choice: the subtitles are: "Extinct Angel", which seems to allude to the woman in white, and then the man in the car asked Colleen’s name, Colleen After reporting his husband’s last name and then his father’s last name, the man shouted: "You don't even have your own name." Then he said: "Like God said: Language is dead." And Colin in the car But Roland and her husband sarcastically said, "God is an old gay, which is well known." However, when the man told them that there was a rabbit in the dashboard, Colin opened it and saw a living rabbit. "This It's a miracle!" In amazement, they began to change their attitudes, and each said what they wanted, seeming to respond to the man's saying "I will make everyone's wish come true", but in the end he said that : "I won't give you anything."
An affirmative temptation is answered in a negative way. Opposition, deconstruction, and even irony have become a proof of the decline of faith: they want miracles like rabbits to appear in front of them, so women really become After angels, men are really gods, but this "go to London" god rejected them and shot and killed the rabbits after getting off the car, and chased after them—the death of rabbits is a sign, and it is for the gods. The negation and deconstruction of the signs, and this negation and deconstruction are twofold: on the one hand, Colleen and her husband, they turned around from being kidnapped, it is the worship of miracles, but after "I will give you nothing" It was a complete denial, and even finally took away the gun from that man, and chased them in turn; the other kind of denial and deconstruction came from the man, who created the miracle of the rabbit, but was the man with the gun. Those who flee from France and those who cause violence. Where does God come from? After being driven out of the car, he took the stolen gun again. At this time, a flock of sheep appeared at the scene of the accident where they got off the car. The men were like Jesus, among the flocks, and this is undoubtedly another sign of miracles. The denial of God and Christ turned out to be really a mob. Even starting from this irony, it brought Colin and her husband Roland into the second stage of denial.
The first stage was the weekend that started this "Saturday morning". They set off from home and drove a luxury car to a place called Ornweiler, where Colin's father was hospitalized. They were not to see his father, but Get the inheritance when the father is about to die. Therefore, the special meaning of the weekend for them lies in the sharing of interests that kills family ties. Hypocritical, despicable, and shameless are their moral labels. In fact, this couple has bourgeois hypocrisy, which is a huge kind. Irony-they even poisoned their father on weekends for five consecutive years. The subtitles of "class struggle" annotated everything, so in this sense, their lives and their luxury cars have become a miracle of capitalism. Weekends Not to go to church but to defraud the inheritance, is to replace the miracle of God with this miracle.
And what you see when you go out is undoubtedly the portrait of the bourgeoisie. What does the weekend mean to those who drive: on vacation, they start the life of the bourgeoisie. When Colleen and Roland break the rules and overtake the cars at the scene of the traffic jam, they are all those in the long shots. Those who are preparing for vacation, some are loading yachts, some are carrying groups of children, even if they are stuck in traffic, they smoke and play chess leisurely. When Colleen and Roland became spoilers, they were destroyed when their interests were destroyed. Swearing at the couple, amid the noisy horns, there was an increase in noise-this is the weekend of the French, this is the weekend of this society.
However, the cause of the big traffic jam this time was a car accident on the road. Colleen and Roland drove all the way to the front. At the scene where the police directed the traffic, there were people who died in the car accident lying on both sides of the road. A car accident means a kind of collision, a kind of pain, and a kind of death, but for the couple, they seem to be completely outside the car accident. This is an attitude of bystanders, everything has nothing to do with them-they left the car accident At the scene, turn right into the road to Ornweiler. But they did not really arrive at Ornweiler. Instead, they witnessed a car accident while staying in the small village. They were outside the accident on the traffic jam, or the accident happened outside of them, and this time it was Beside them, the tractor and the car collided. As witnesses, they were slowly approaching the accident, approaching the collision, and approaching danger and death.
But he remained indifferent. When the man named Paul in the car died and his wife looked for witnesses, "Marx said that we are all brothers and sisters." Roland fought back: "This is another Marx, Jesus said." Not a brother. Sister, it’s not a friendly belief. A kind of denial began, so Colleen and Roland refused. After being scolded as "dirty Jews", the reversed plot was that the tractor driver and the deceased’s wife reported together. They Instead, it became a community of interests. Colleen and Roland had to leave the scene of the accident and continue on the road. And on the road they traveled, they encountered the car accident that had happened again. It was from the scene of the car accident that God with a gun came out, and the miracle of the rabbit appeared, which brought their weekend to the second stage. ——After the surrealistic dream of turning a car accident into a herd was staged, they finally encountered a car accident, who created speed and chaos on the road.
At first they were bystanders, then witnesses, and now they have become witnesses, "This is the weekend from the French Revolution to the Gaullists", the subtitle explains. It doesn't seem to matter how this car accident happened. What is important is that the car accident that caused the collision happened to oneself, so the luxury car is gone, the miracle is gone, and the god is gone. Colleen and Roland, wounded and even bloodied, had to walk to find the parking lot, and had to get into someone else's car. They walked feebly on the road, they looked for their direction blankly. After becoming the experience of the car accident, it seemed that their fate had changed. They were like wanderers. It is disintegrating their identities, and even destroying everything related to materials. Next to the phone booth, they encountered a man who used to sing and talk. They wanted to fight for his car and were beaten. On the grass, they encountered a man in ancient clothes. He was reading the sentence in the book while holding a book. Did not see the charter, nor the sweet humanity." A kind of skepticism seems to be a question of the so-called "French Revolution". Together with the phrase "Freedom is riot", it is a deconstruction of history. The couple with injured bodies became "Gaulleists" and suffered a car accident during the incomplete revolution.
Moving on, they met men and women outside of the era. They were also holding books, reading sentences, and walking in their own stories. Roland asked them how Orn Willer went. They did not answer, but were immersed in their own narrative. "Matter does not exist." The woman picked up the pebble, "This is the form of the universe, earlier than humans, and humans did not produce it, but determined their own direction-minerals are neither independent nor sensitive. They We need our strength." Wearing ancient costumes, reading classical works, a departure from the times, a barrier to the scene, they are also ironic about history, and Roland burned the woman to death in a fit of anger. Knowledge, philosophy burned to death? Or rather, use reality to destroy history. And a kind of alienation effect also produced, "This is really a bad movie, we met a lunatic." This is what Roland said, "This is not a novel, it is a movie, and a movie is life." Colleen said in this way. When an individual enters this road in the woods, the two people that appear are a kind of cinematic illusion? This is neither a movie nor a movie, because when they want to escape reality, they need a movie, but when they want to find a dream, they regard the movie as reality.
This may also be Godard's criticism of this bourgeois concept. The reason why the alienation effect is so strong is that life and film are confused, reality hijacks art, and pushes art into a decadent state. This collision of life and film, reality and art is like scenes of ongoing and already happening car accidents. One party will suffer pain or both will suffer. But beyond the cinematic life and the life-oriented film? The world seems to be more open. When Colleen and Roland walked into the cornfield with their backs on their backs and walked on the road with few people, they actually slowly fell into a state of isolation, unable to hitchhike, on the contrary, they were scolded as fascism. The activist, the sadly illiterate, and the passerby who borrowed the fire jumped into the grass where Colleen was resting. When the scene only gave Roland a cigarette, there was a scream.
Finally got on the car, a kind of joke happened. They were walking from right to left along that road. Roland took advantage of the situation and took off a jacket from the truck driver who had a car accident nearby. But when a car When the garbage truck allowed them to ride, the direction of the truck was from left to right—a kind of reversal, completely returning to the starting point, which means that Colleen and Roland have taken a meaningless road, or, Their search, their arrival, and their weekends are all meaningless and self-destructive. In the end, the garbage truck turned into a satire of their state. Two people were forced to carry garbage, while the white and black people in the truck who were carrying garbage were eating bread. When the hungry Colleen wanted to get something to eat, The white man said: "Kiss me." After the kiss, he slapped her again, so in front of the poor couple, the two spoke to the camera about the "third world": about the liberation of Africa, guerrilla warfare, and consciousness. Morphology, optimism, Nazis, as well as freedom, heroes, history, private ownership, industrial capitalization, monogamy, the state... Whites and blacks, garbage-handling workers, seem to convey a "Third World" voice: Free and independent. And Colleen and Roland became the object of criticism, or in other words, the final result of the class struggle.
When the garbage truck drove away, they suddenly realized that they were sitting in the car, "It's here." In front of them was the Orn Willer they had been looking for. When the target was right in front of them and ignored, what else was true hope. A kind of joking was transmitted so strongly, and it was this numb state that achieved the purpose that made them finally skin a rabbit in the sinking of faith: the father of Orn Willery is dead, and the mother carries it. He was holding the rabbit, but when he walked to the door, he was pressed by Roland, and then Colleen also rushed forward, so a puddle of blood appeared in front of the bloody rabbit—they became murderers, killing the miracle that was once a miracle. Rabbits also mean that they themselves have also gone to the ranks of victims.
Car accidents are still happening, but just like killing the skinned rabbits, they started to make accidents. Those cars burned in the gasoline bombs they threw. Like the female soldiers with guns, they also became fighters? What order will they destroy? In fact, it was impossible for them to order others with guns. On the contrary, they were taken hostage. The female fighters in the jungle seemed to be the incarnation of the guerrillas. This was the "Freedom Front Seine". They killed the police. They hijacked the rich, they played drums and music like the indigenous Africans, they walked through the jungle to watch the enemy closely, and they killed the livestock, but what was the significance of such a revolution? In fact, the revolution is overthrowing a certain order. When Roland ran away, the man hit him with a slingshot, but Roland, who had survived the car accident, died of a small slingshot, and even red blood shed from his body. To kill a person with a slingshot is rather to kill an animal, just like those pigs, chickens, ducks that were slaughtered, or even the rabbit disguised as a miracle, so after a rain of bullets, Colleen started Joined them, and when the bloody chef Ernest gave them the cooked meat, the man sitting next to Colleen said: "This is a mixture of pig and tourist meat, and you Husband.” And Colleen, who ate that piece of meat, had no fear or nausea, but said to Ernest, “A little more.”
Dead, dead like a rabbit, and still not eaten, this is the final fate. In this "perfect murder" interpretation, from the first bystander to the witness, and then to the witness, finally became Victims, this is the burial of the so-called bourgeoisie. "This is the life scene of the Parisians". This weekend is to show the life of Parisians, and life is the movie. Godard must be criticizing this hypocrisy in the movie. The reality is that when the miraculous rabbit is skinned, a kind of slaughter also penetrates into life, and those so-called gods, so-called warriors, are actually a disguise, and even a symbol of violence, and what happened on weekends Those who arrived did not have the shadow of the so-called proletariat. Witnesses appeared at the tractor scene, but they were more like onlookers. The "fake photos" explained everything; when playing piano music in the barn, People are wrong by the piano in twos and threes, as if paying tribute to the classics, but they are clearly in a state of isolation, not as practical as the person with the shovel...
Everything is sinking, everything is dying, this era is like a huge car accident scene, and all this is like a projection of a miniature society, "Is this real or a nightmare?" The woman in underwear was carrying light on her back. Sitting, the man opposite asked her, when she finished telling the physical story that happened in a room with Paul and Monica, when the man said "I love you", a degenerate and messy life had begun. In another scene, the man took the phone and said to "You are my little bitch": "She is dangerous, I will get rid of her on Monday." She was referring to Colleen-man And women, women and men, in the face of the intricate love and sex, in the face of the broken moral precepts, turned into a drama that is kicking off and actors appearing on stage. "This is a film floating in the universe. It’s a movie picked up in the trash.” So, on a well-dressed weekend, on a weekend when God’s miracle is said to be, the egg was broken, and the egg white and yolk flowed slowly between the legs to a dark private part of society.
