Unexplainable is the best explanation

-I don't love you anymore.
-Why?
-I don't know.

Godard is really brave, he shoots such abstract emotions.

He must know that many people cannot feel such abstract emotions.

We don't like to hear people say to ourselves "You're too sensitive, emotional, emotional, weird, overthinking, crazy..." or something, but most people say that to me.
I sometimes have the illusion that what they say is right and that most of what they say is right, so I must have a problem with my brain to have those emotional garbage that I can't understand myself. But when I'm awake, this illusion will be broken. For example, when I watch such a movie with vague emotional details shown on the big screen, I will find that my "emotional garbage" is priceless. of.

Then I became more assertive.
Someone said "You are so sensitve."
I would say "Yes I am. So what?"

and then there was no one around me who said those adjectives to me.

like filtering.
Friends are less and less, and friends are more and more important.

Like the creation of Godard's audience.



After watching the movie, I went to the bathroom. I heard two American women talking next to me.
-"Eh, Well."
-"I don't know. I mean, l love the color, I mean."
-Emotionally


, I think Europeans are really more like Asians than Americans There are many similarities, and my Spanish classmates who studied film felt the same way. I'm grateful for that, for giving me sympathy for the French sentiment in the film.


Seeing these thin, unexplainable emotions in the corners of camille's eyes, I felt that every time I broke up with a boy, the reason for my breakup was explained, and the quarrel and blacklisting of French boy Micheal and me were also explained. I Godard explained me with "unexplainable", like sitting in front of me and saying to me chick I understand you.

    New wave is really not my thing, the highlight is Fritz Lang's cameo as himself in the film, one master acting in another master, full of gimmicks.

    After reading the novel before watching the movie, I feel that Godard's work has a very good balance between conveying the original work and self-expression. The use of color is very attentive, and the color matching of BB black hair green dress and several scenes on the rooftop is amazing. Frieze Lang is like a sage in the film industry, and Godard's interpretation of the "Odyssey of the Ancients" (rather than the modern neurotic Odyssey), which the original is more agreeable to, reverses the speaker and lets Lang express it, which is really nice to him.
