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.

    This is the standard when I was a child, I watched it carefully and then thought about how to understand this film. Now I watch it for a quarter of an hour, then I start to pull the scroll bar to end, and then I delete the one I thought, alright, and saved more than an hour of life. … . But Zhang Yimou's "A Thousand Miles Riding Alone" is a bit of a steal?

Contempt quotes

  • Paul Javal: [Reading from an art book on Ancient Pornography] "I hosted a skin contest among three beauties. They asked me to be the judge. They showed me their dazzling nudity. The first had a gently curving back with round dimples. The second parted her legs, her snow white skin grew cherry red, not crimson. The third was as still as a quiet sea. Her delicate skin rippled gently, shivering involuntarily."

  • Camille Javal: [Reading from a book on "Lang"] "The problem, in my opinion, is in our conception of the world. A positive view or a negative one. Greek tragedy was negative, in that it made Man a victim of Fate, as embodied by the Gods, who abandoned him to a hopeless destiny."
