Godard openly reminds the audience: you are watching a movie. When the heroine came out of the coffee shop, she glanced at the camera in a playful way. In the general director, this is a typical camera cut, but in Godard, it is called unconventional shrewdness.
Then there's music. Completely subjective and deliberate partition and tear. What does this represent? In general I always wonder, what does this represent? Unique way to deconstruct movie soundtracks? A powerful weapon for rendering the emotions of characters? I don't know. I believe you are too. But we can guess: the director is trying to reveal to us the essence of the film.
What is the essence of film? Movies are movies, movies are nothing. So, we go back to the film itself: a woman is a woman, a woman is nothing.
"Women Are Women". The name is tempting. The second time I watched this movie, I struggled to fall asleep. The music always comes and goes suddenly and then stops abruptly. Suddenly, the dreamer will be awakened. This feels good.
Godard didn't need to please the masses, he had already mastered the film. In the depths of the light and shadow, there are a pair of calm eyes, revealing wisdom and arrogance.
Arrogance requires capital. Like Abbas, he just wants to make the audience fall asleep while watching his movies.
I'm trying to sum up the plot of this movie in one sentence. It's not that hard: a sensual woman who falls out with her live-in boyfriend in order to have a baby, sleeps with another man and ends up reconciling with her boyfriend.
A woman is a woman, in fact, women are easy to deceive. Women like things they can see and touch, including a few nice words from men. The man said, how can you believe that I love you? The woman said nothing. In fact, she already believed it.
Men tend to like summaries. Godard's conclusion is: a woman is a woman.
Movies and women are a paradox, we never know what they are, but they are beautiful. Unparalleled.
