Random Notes (watching a movie like reading a book)

Background: decadent exam week

Vigor to do things, to live

If doing bad things keeps me alive...

The estrangement between couples is known only to them

"The language of poetry emerges from the ruins"

"The author chose the freedom of the other"

Exploring the essence of film always comes back to exploring the essence of life

In the end there is no difference

What happiness, what passion, nothing

You say you want to live, but what is life

You say you live elsewhere, but where can you live

- I love you in my own way

--that is it

    Great color. Although the form still can't escape the director's favorite desperate play with mandarin ducks~~ The theme always repeats the poetic sour thinking. Life... loneliness... revolution... and art... but this one is hardly boring at all, men hate rabbits, women hate Barbie, music hates cuteness , The rhythm hates dancing medicine. In short, hate is powerful. . /// Tu vas perdre 96 secondes de ta vie.

    Unfettered groundbreaking masterpiece. Everything you see and feel is like a dream, like a fantasy, like a bubble. An exile that started with resistance to kitsch but was wounded by kitsch. Godard, who is far away from the city, is no longer anxious because of hitting a wall, and let the image extend unrestrainedly to the distance, but it is endless sadness with nowhere to stay.

Pierrot le Fou quotes

  • Samuel Fuller: Film is like a battleground. There's love, hate, action, violence, death... in one word: emotion.

  • Marianne: What are you doing?

    Ferdinard: [looking at the mirror] Looking at myself.

    Marianne: And what do you see?

    Ferdinard: The face of a man who's driving towards a cliff at 100 km/h.

    Marianne: [turns the mirror towards herself] I see a woman who is in love with the man who's driving towards a cliff at 100 km/h.

    Ferdinard: So let's kiss.
