    At the end of [Contempt], the camera guides us to meet Odysseus's gaze, thus showing us what a modern-day homeland looks like: in the middle of the ocean, the legendary island of Ithaki is no longer there. The topic of God and man superimposed on the marriage issue in the film is obviously referring to the film itself. Now that the director has been overthrown as a god, can people fearlessly claim that God's absence can help us? Here Gouda shows a struggle, oscillating back and forth between the classical mythological films represented by Lang and Chaplin and the psychologicalized life of modern people. How real human emotion can be shown in the film, he did not give an answer. This work has the status of linking the past and the future in his sequence. It is a summary of his early creation results and a prospect for the future.

    Different from Godard's previous nihilistic propositions, he defines the subject matter of the film as the marriage crisis of the middle class. The new interpretation of the Greek mythology Odyssey is the biggest metaphor of the film, see also Godard's red, white and blue tones. Feminists would define this tragedy as the impotence of the hero, but this contempt undoubtedly points to the strength of the heroine. And the cause of impotence comes from the alienation of work. Men are clearly at a disadvantage
