Godard's Dream

Demarcus 2022-07-05 18:32:18

Godard doesn't seem to have made a film normally. His films are always freewheeling and full of "experimental". It can be said that his movies are not the movies we regularly watch. The scene is chaotic, several sets of shots with unclear meaning, and unconventional shooting techniques, are full of Godard's "rebelliousness" to the film's expression. I can't say exactly what the film is about; yes, the film describes the lives of women in that era; yes, the film satirizes the ideology and war of capitalism; but what the film wants to express, what every shot wants to tell, I Only the shadow behind the black veil can be distinguished. But this shadow has some indescribable taste. This taste does not belong to the movie, but to life.

2 or 3 Things I Know About Her quotes

  • Narrator: I serenely take the road to dreams and forget the rest. I forget Hiroshima and Auschwitz. I forget Budapest. I forget Vietnam and minimum wages. I forget the housing crisis. I forget the famine in India. I've forgotten it all, except that since it takes me back to zero, I have to start over from there.

  • Roger: Hear anything? What is it?

    Robert: Saigon-Washington.

    Roger: Who's speaking?

    Robert: Johnson.

    Roger: What's he saying?

    Robert: "In '65 to force Hanoi to negotiate it was with a heavy heart that I ordered my pilots to bomb North Vietnam."

    Roger: And?

    Roger: Let me listen a bit. "It was tremendous, but Hanoi wouldn't negotiate. In July '67 I ordered my pilots, again with a heavy heart, to raze Chinese atomic installations. It was tremendous, but Hanoi wouldn't negotiate."

    Robert: "In '67 to force Hanoi to negotiate and again with a heavy heart, I ordered my pilots to bomb Peking."

    Roger: And?

    Robert: "It was tremendous, but Hanoi wouldn't negotiate. Now my missiles are aimed at Moscow."

    Roger: And?

    Juliette: [reading] "Should I wear tromp-l'oeil ankle-sock designs on pantyhose designed by Louis Ferraud? They make daring dresses decent and make calves look pert and charming."

    Juliette: It's in "Madame Express."

    Robert: Never heard of it.

    Juliette: You've got no culture.
