drama life

Madman Pierrot is my first film at this festival, and I was very worried that the original English subtitles were stuck, and I am already very grateful.
Knowing that he was going to watch Godard on the big screen, he deliberately held back from watching it.

I have to say that 60 minutes before 110 minutes yesterday was full of surprises.

There are nothing more than two ideas that run through the whole film. One is that Godard used this staged film to ridicule and challenge American films. Such a drama, elopement, murder, escape, quarrel, reunion, double destruction, Even comedy elements, he has all the elements of American blockbusters. But Godard's own narration-style poetry, the breakdown of the play, all emphasize that this is a traditional play. The male protagonist no longer reads and writes poetry all the time. This brutish contempt for the Americans, which is native to the French, can be seen everywhere. As soon as the villain appeared, he brought his own Coca-Cola. However, what further demonstrates this idea is the setting of the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist must be a solid advocate of the French style, constantly buying books, and then pissing off the heroine, the type of nightclub, dancing, records, Miami beach, Las Vegas pub that the heroine pursues.

This kind of thinking is in the two people's performances for American soldiers. The American and Vietnamese dramas are maximized at the time. Two people who didn't know what they were talking about won the love of the soldiers.

Another theme is the pursuit and boredom of the two of them for a dramatic life. The two were romantic, separated from the family, robbed and stole all the way, and embarked on a road of no return. Yet dramatic life exists only in movies. No one can live on an island alone for that long. People need boring and boring daily life. At this time, boring and boring has become so memorable. After all, those empty lives are packaged in seemingly bright packaging. Then the island life is so real that there is no disguise, and naturally it is so boring that there is no disguise.

So the first 60 minutes were very pleasant in terms of form and reflection.

However, the last 50 minutes are mostly repetitive and complete. So my personal opinion, if the second half can be streamlined, it will become a compact drama and a good art film at the same time. After all, a movie has to tell a good story.

But personally I still like this movie very much, and many small details make me feel very fond of it.
For example, Picasso and Modigliani in the heroine's apartment, and the use of paintings to express the beating scene is just a surprise to me.
The contrast between famous paintings and a lot of guns.
The comic book and puppy pencil case that they have never lost in their hands.
A large number of incoherent clips of music, obvious line repetition,
repertoire-style announcement
, narration of two people crossing each other,
large panoramic shot of two people
, strong contrast of colors,
witty and humorous lines
, diary of different colors and handwriting
, long-shot
musical drama of the last ocean The inserted song

    The color widescreen 2k restoration version is drunk, a lot of classic scenes. What is a movie? There is really no need to understand or not understand, you can just remember a line, a soundtrack, or even a frame of pictures. Godard constantly dismantles and plays tricks. There are too many interesting and moving places. Paul Belmondo's physical performance is amazing, and the shape and style of the old pimple's ex-wife Anna Karina are also too beautiful. Broadway French New Wave Show.

    From Pierrot the Madman, we can see a certain turn of Gouda's creation, from the early deconstruction of genre films to the reflection of the entire film medium. This extrajudicial couple escapes from one genre to another, and discusses the core issue of what is true and what is fiction. The male protagonist who was repeatedly dragged into the world of ping pong pong movies ended up in a tragic end, and art was linked to death, which seemed to be related to Gouda's own failed marriage.
