Looking at contempt. With a lot of question marks about the genre of film style?
Godard's film has the alienating effect of Brecht, which makes the audience realize that this is just a film, and Truffaut, who is most compared with him, is painstakingly managing his own influence world. Form and content complement each other, and form is content. When we indulge in the opening red, blue and yellow Brigitte and her husband discussing love, whether this separation separates the audio-visual world or deepens the sense of identity.
Yin and yang are in harmony, clearing the way back, what is the way? What is the road? Film is a product of persistence and compromise, a utilitarian and simple art and commodity. Can't help but review why you like movies? Do you really like movies? What is the pursuit of life? Are you an honest person? Tired of thinking.
I like the blue waves and the sea. Sculptures are compared to Western gods in the movement of the camera. Godard has always insisted. Although his films are not attractive, they are still of great learning value.
In a word, his films are integrated, the sense of form, and the alienation effect deepen what he wants to express on a certain level, and have an extended effect on a certain level.

    The sixth part, except for "Outlaws", still can't do Godard. To be revisited.

    The subtitles are so bad, I would be confused if I hadn't just read the original novel. Compared with the two, Moravia's original novel "Contempt" is better. The movie condenses the plot into two days. The temptation, suspicion, jealousy, helplessness and even anger between partners lose the power accumulated over time. , I still love in the morning and not in the afternoon, it's more like a grudge between two people, without the feeling of resoluteness in the end after the disappointment day after day. Of course, Godard's audio-visual language is still very good, and the color matching is especially eye-catching.
