godard and his hoe

Godard's way of using the camera as a gun and aiming at the society is very innovative and revolutionary, and he did bring the audience something different from Hollywood movies. His movies are very radical even today. As a result, it is impossible for the film directors after Godard not to be influenced by his style. The camera he wields in his hand is like a plow, which opens up another field of film for future generations.

This kind of waving constantly challenges the viewer's nerves of the established film mode. In the constant tolerance of Godard, he took the audience to complete the reclamation of the wasteland. He would carry a hoe against the scorching sun and say: Look, follow The original place is better than this.

In fact, what he brings to people should be more of the inspiration left by his actions to future generations, rather than his style, his films, and the left-wing views he wants to express. He is like someone who is creating some words or grammar, what he is trying to break is the established grammar of the language of the film. It can be seen that there are very few people who shoot and edit like him today, and those who hold radical left-wing views are even rarer. But thanks to Godard's efforts, today's directors regard it as their obligation to silently explore the language of the film. Don't be afraid of the audience changing channels, don't be afraid of the boss firing you, and bravely cut it. Because they still have the old man with the hoe in their hearts.
