love and contempt

Houston 2022-02-24 08:02:09

The conversation in the room, especially the conversation by the lamp led to the initial estrangement of Mir, and the final break was the call of Mir's inquiry before boarding the yacht, but Paul pretended to be indifferent, Mir turned back many times, but could not see what she wanted desired signal. The relationship between the two has now been irreversible. They discussed the Odyssey before filming of The Boat Odyssey, Paul said he thought Odyssey loved his wife and she didn't love him, Mill retorted that you must not think so. Mill loves Paul, and since she felt hurt by Paul in the room and planned to take revenge, she has been slow to take any action until she returns from the yacht. Maybe what Mill wanted was Paul's confession and actions to prove that he loved her, but she was disappointed. She is only with Jerry to get revenge on Paul, they don't even understand the language, and there are sunglasses, the idea comes from the movie "Cabylia Nights", notice that Mill wears sunglasses last time on a high platform Sunbathing, and she takes off her sunglasses when she sees Paul, and when she is with Jerry, she wears sunglasses all the time and doesn't look at him very much. When the car accident happened, the two of them were on both sides of the car. If they were in love People should hold together, I believe that Mill still loved Paul until the end. Behind the contempt is still unbreakable love, but she can't continue to be with Paul, and the car accident before the end, is it what Mill wants, or even if she deliberately arranged it, I don't know.

    89/100, I like too many points: the opening long shot and the cast and crew narration, the final shot rushing to the viewer, Fritz Lang playing himself, on the wall "Hartley", "As You Want", "Psycho" Poster, stepped building at a depressed angle. Godard's use of color on the color widescreen is too charming, or can be regarded as the forerunner of "Pierro the Madman". This time, there are more big scenes, the panning lens fully creates a sense of space, and the indoor scheduling is more superb. Godard's conscious self-reflection and textual multiple intertextuality. Love is false, but it is also indispensable.

    Language barriers, emotional disorders, the tunnel structure of indoor dramas, the ink-and-wash atmosphere of outdoor dramas, and the seemingly careless movements of the characters, but in fact they take every step. The pinnacle of space imaging. Godard's heart is so delicate that he has to arm himself with extreme simplicity and rudeness.
