--------Notes archived for private records only-------

Literal translation: scavengers and women scavengers

gleaning once only women

Miller's famous painting museum also ends with the painting "The Gleaners Before the Storm" [Artwork and Real People]

Gleaming: don't waste the old customs. Now there are machines, but it used to be a difficult job to do manually, but everyone likes it and can have a party after work [past life state]

Images and paintings of different textures become visible in different media recordings

village

Memories of Gleaners mention that it's outdated now but stooping hasn't disappeared from society of abundance [Calling the poor pathetic Gleaners by romantic names like Gleaners Background music is rap Focus on the present moment]

"There is another scavenger woman in the movie, and that's me." [The gesture of participatory games, after all, Varda is outside the ranks of scavengers. What she does is still an artistic scavenger behavior, but it is true Needed to at least show discarded items still have merit. Varda doesn't actually do anything directly and practically when it comes to really touching those poor wretched people. In fact, her presence in the film is meant to be playful. The main thing is art]

"Machine failure is good for some people"

Potatoes 2-4 inches [Consequences of the market economy lead to a lot of waste, in line with the laws of market development, but have not been able to think from a human point of view, and have not thought about these issues from the standpoint of nature]

Potato pickers are also very helpless. The dumping of surplus commodities is often mobile. Someone needs to report. [Suddenly from the capital society to the other side, the nature of children picking potatoes and playing games is dead, which makes people return to the era before mechanization]

People who pick potatoes will also choose [I want to say that potatoes are also very pitiful. They grow so big, or if they don’t grow well, they will be thrown away if they don’t meet the standards of the human market. People picked potatoes but didn’t eat them. It’s really a pity Oh qaq, I really think potatoes are so pitiful]

Heart-shaped potato close-up shooting [exposure shooting In addition to the emergence of acting as a digital video camera, reflexive found that talking about documentaries can no longer avoid this point. Another expressive shot such as slow motion does not participate in the purpose of the narrative purpose of sports shots Second-person side-by-side shots It's all for the purpose of performance and performance, and I also added a close-up shot of my hair and wrinkles. I will feel a little distressed about the performance of aging, but I feel so lucky that many great directors have left us. I really hope that grandma can live a long life. age】

Charity activities [This raises a social issue. People who are forced to live in difficult situations see so much wasted food and there are so many people in the world who have no food. It's "shameful". That's right. The theme of this documentary is actually It is very obvious here]

Varda, as an active scavenger [she is not short of food, but she also goes to the abandoned fig orchard to pick fruit to eat, and later picks up chairs and clocks in the city's garbage heap and goes back as a test of herself, but there are too many things in this world that shouldn't be. Discarded things are wasted]

The homeless people, the gypsies, give them a chance to speak [but I want to say that it is also one-sided. Anyway, I feel that I can't just listen to what they say. Sometimes documentaries do this in order to achieve their own goals. Accepted, of course, she may say the other side of the voice, you have heard enough~ The other is to think that these people are talking about waste, but in fact their lives are now dependent on other people's waste, so maybe Not so good but that's really what bothers me If people don't waste what do these helpless people eat? It is possible to set up a special charity organization for recycling, but as long as any organization has rules and regulations, once the organization is responsible for distributing expired food, if there is a problem with eating it, who needs to be responsible? 】

Picking herbs in the mountains not only saves but also likes it [It looks like a life advocating nature, but in fact "picker" is just another name]

"The Last Judgment" [I don't remember how I contacted this picture with a magnifying glass partial close-up of the punished person holding hope]

Protecting industrial capital leads to waste [This is man-made waste, but businessmen can't do anything about it. In fact, we should still return to our inner judgment. First, people of nature and then businessmen]

The winemaker is also a theoretical psychologist. . . 】

"Most people are stingy and they don't allow gleaning because they don't want to be too nice to others" Whether or not to allow gleaning after the harvest is ok. The code in 1554 said it's okay [the person holding the code is so cute and still wearing the place in the courthouse It looks like a performance.]

Besides the poor and the poor there are those who take pleasure in picking

Taking photos and videos is also a kind of picking "The collection of such image impressions is a collection without legislation, which is symbolically defined as a kind of mental activity, things, behavior, deeds, and mobile information." Japanese souvenirs are used to remember places you have been to

clapping one hand with the other [self description]

Recycling of government actions The place where you throw things is also the place for recycling

Artists can turn trash into art gifts

Likes things that are discarded by society to some extent [also in "Face, Village"]

"Cave" to escape from nothingness? Accumulate then the less the better found in antiques

Gleaners: 1 Humble Bend 2 Proud Gestures "The Gleaners Woman"

Bricklayer Totem Tower Possibility of Inspiring From Trash

Every object has a direction, a clue, and endless combinations. "The purpose of art is to combine the inner and outer worlds of people"

Picking up the oyster tide table has the right to pick up with boundaries [very sad]

"The sheep are in the way I like that so I stop and wait for them"

An abandoned vineyard [The editing of this clip is so fast, it's a bit similar to their mood after they forgot to turn off the machine. The lens cap swings. The burrs that were added on purpose are all arranged in Varda's burrs. Where are the burrs to adjust the rhythm a bit interesting]

The invention of the film is also related to the winery [the beginning of film history Varda's luck is also very good, the beginning of the film is not storytelling, but the recording is inseparable from non-fiction from the beginning haha ​​and it is a record of animals. The simplicity of poetry and aesthetics is wonderful! 】

There are many interviews about the lawsuit about garbage [but the attitude has long been established. Young people are unrestrained and have fun. There are various reasons for wandering around the trash can. Varda thinks this is beautiful. . . I can understand it, but how can I say it is too literary and artistic, I still can't accept it]

People treat food in a stupid way and throw it away as soon as it expires. It's the most convenient to judge whether the food is expired or not.

People who use waste feel that they are the masters of the area

people's over-consumption

Garbage enters the exhibition and becomes art "The end of the game is the beginning of art"

"But did the kids notice the brooms on the street? Did they shake hands with the garbage pickers?" [! ! This is a good question. My own feeling is that we should examine our true attitudes, aside from turning garbage into works of art. Art can beautify and distort. And then I also feel that we are always easy to avoid the garbage, and sometimes even when the garbage truck comes, we will avoid it, and we will also avoid the cleaning workers. Every time I dodge it subconsciously, I feel sad because that's just their job, why should we despise them? They must be sad too. If you have been working in the garbage dump, you may have a smell of garbage on your body, which is really cruel. The sense of hierarchy that comes from work is terrible! ! They may be able to comfort themselves with jobs and social roles, but what about the real scavengers? 】

The place where black people have garbage and no plants is "second only to heaven" [I want to say that it is too sentimental and really can't stand it. The audience should still keep their own judgment and feelings. Some poor people will deceive themselves]

Repair the electrical appliances and sell them or give them to neighbors to use old refrigerators as decorations at art exhibitions [after all, this kind of behavior is rare. If there are really broken things that are not thrown away, then the house is not a work of art but becomes a junkyard

The cheerful orchard allows the registration and supervision of pickers, which is beneficial to both parties.

Sora Sora【When you reach Varda, it gives meaning to invisible time passing】

Heart shaped potato sprouts

There is a scavenger who has a master's degree but lives in a shelter and teaches for free [I didn't say the cause and effect, but I can definitely see some social problems]

--------

Overall I like it, but I also have a lot of my own ideas. It may seem that I am not so sentimental. After all, the reference object is Varda.

The most valuable thing about her is that she is very playful and can incorporate many, many things.

As for the views on the bottom and the edge, I think I have reservations and in the end Varda is only making movies.

The Gleaners & I quotes

  • Agnès Varda: He looked at an empty clock but put it back down. I picked it up and took it home. A clock without hands works fine for me. You don't see time passing.
