last scene, the heroine's death was understated, so that the line of words that appeared faintly at the beginning appeared like a picture that burned through black and white. On the screen, with fire.
Returning to real life, fragmented pictures, trivial as if not arranged and decorated. non-purpose.
Forced visual style, narrative style, perspective, the way the story unfolds, the sudden appearance of the music, the repetition, the unexplained silence, the narration, the essay, the philosophy, the unknown beginning and the pale death that have nothing to do with the overall progression of the film.

This is real life.
Generally films are intentionally arranged, intercepted, and coherent, so that stories can be connected in series, with clues and causality as a whole, expressing one theme or multiple themes. Intercepted fragments of life, magnified, beautified or criticized, the protagonist who is concerned.
This movie, just like its name - "As You Want", the story is trivial, the fate of the characters, it is natural, there is no obvious connection to the fragment, the record-style picture.
Life doesn't always have a story, it doesn't always have a sense of beauty, and it shouldn't be because of the attention of the camera. The fate and death of the characters under the camera will change. If you live, you will die, and a leaf will fly into the wind.
After watching the film, I always wondered what the film was trying to express. Thinking about it carefully and feeling that it is unnecessary, just like we don’t see a person around us, because we pay attention to her, we ask her or the people around us – this person is alive, this person is living for some time to explain what .
The insignificance of life in the vast space, the insignificance in the endless time, and the insignificance in the social environment.
Cruel pathetic tiny, tiny, unpacified soul. Accidents without support.

New director, shock reconstruction, new cinematic order.
Godard (1930~)
Godard, Jean-Luc
French film director. One of the representatives of new wave movies. Native to Switzerland. Born December 3, 1930 in Paris. He was originally a film critic of "Cinebook" and "Art" magazine, and later formed the "Cinebook" school with F. Truffaut, C. Chabrol and others. In 1960, he completed the first feature film "Exhausted", which became the representative work of the New Wave. He has since directed "A Woman Is a Woman", "Do As You Want", "Carbine", "Contempt", "Crazy Biello", "Male-Female" and "Chinese Girl", among others. The films of this period were anti-traditional in both content and form, which aroused heated debates in the Western film industry. After 1968, influenced by the ultra-leftist trend of thought, he organized a combat film group and shot more abstract and formalistic films such as "Dongfeng", "Truth", and "Until Victory". After the 1980s, he began to shoot feature films. In 1983, "Carmen" directed by the director won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival that year.
