1. Is Nana the Nora who ran away from "A Doll's House"? No longer satisfied with being a "parrot", Nora began to develop self-awareness and wanted to change from a vassal to a practitioner who pursues her own goals and ideals.

2. Nana left her husband because of her dream of a movie and started to work independently in renting a house to find her own way. Capitalism in the 1960s liberated women from patriarchal and patriarchal power. The awakening of women's self-consciousness, but where is the meaning and purpose of life that this self-awakening seeks? Her dream is to make a movie. In a sense, the movie is the best toy for modern people. It is the shadow in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the 2-hour daydream that everyone has in the darkness. So Nora's pursuit is rather an illusion and a dream.

3. According to the laws of social operation, Nana had to solve the problem of livelihood - prostitution, while becoming a free individual, while being shackled - becoming a slave of money, a pimp - to instrumentalize Nana to provide shelter while exploiting and enslaving her,

First pick up on the street

Compared with the abandoned female friends, Nora chose prostitution for a living freely and gained control over her life and body. At this time, she happily assumed the corresponding responsibilities. The only romantic and happy Italian song, as if Nora's proud, romantic dreams are floating in the coffee shop.

The sudden sound of gunfire behind the cafe not only made the pimp run away suddenly, but also heralded the end of Nana's romanticized and ideal life.

Similar to the industrialized management and operation chain, there are clear responsibilities and obligations of both parties.

Depressed Nana, listen to the story behind the three Musketeers

One can not help but think of Descartes' "When man thinks, God laughs". When we try to break the blind obedience, authority and universal values, when we try to think, there may be a price to gain freedom and progress.

From the 2-3 minutes of Nana's medium and close-up shooting, to the time Nana broke up with her husband and kept her back to the camera, only the bartender walked around curiously. Director Godard's innovative approach to filming is unique. Compared with director Hitchcock who cut out the trivial time in time and then shot, Godard will polish the trivial time fragments in time one by one to reflect the mood and state of the characters. Time expresses rich connotations.

Vivre Sa Vie quotes

  • The Philosopher: Do you know anyone who knows right off what he loves? No. When you're 20, you don't know. All you know are bits and pieces. You grasp at experience. At that age, "I love" is a mixture of many things. To be completely at one with what you love takes maturity. That means searching. That's the truth of life.

  • Jeune homme: I'd like to go to the Louvre.

    Nana: No, I don't like looking at paintings.

    Jeune homme: Why? Art and beauty are life!

    Nana: I adore you.
