"We should not ask 'why', but only say 'because' in the context of a Godard-ville."

Transmogrifying a nocturnal Paris into the dystopian titular state ruled under the technocratic totalitarianism of a sentient, omnipresent mega-computer called Alpha 60, Godard's Golden Berlin Bear winner, cunningly...

The managers of Alpha City are rational and ruthless. The means of controlling people is to numb them. Like Newspeak in 1984, the words in the dictionary are decreasing every day, and it's no wonder you often find another word you can't see or hear anymore.

The Matrix came out of nowhere, because...

A dystopian sci-fi movie. Unlike Godard's "experimental" films, it is a veritable big-plot film. However, the meaning of the dialogue explanation in this film is often more important than the performance of the camera and the characters, so watching this film feels like reading a novel (it may also...

In general, before writing a review, it is always necessary to look at what other reviewers have said, in case there are similarities. But I am writing this, hoping to put all that aside. Don't look at any viewer's comments, explanations, insights. In order to achieve my own original restoration....

Natasha's slightly exaggerated lower eyelashes and thin lips with nude skin make it difficult for people to focus on her long monologue; the monologue translated into poetry is like high mathematics and politics, but it is difficult to understand, as if there are no people in Alphaville City A...

Score: 80/100, ★★★★.       "City Alpha" is a feature film created in 1965 by the New Wave "Cinema Manual" director Jean-Luc Godard. This is a purely original film. Compared with the successful adaptation of "Dike" and the classic original work of "Fahrenheit 451", it may be more unpopular among the...

It's not that they don't like the new wave, their creativity in the author's film, mise-en-scene and editing style is absolutely indelible. But when such unconventional concepts or intentions are not expressed in shots, but in narrative, it's true, The dogmatic stacking of French films’ mystique,...

When I was a child, I imagined what would happen after 2000. It was like a movie. Motorcycle jeeps could fly in the sky. Humans could teleport in an instant without walking. But the days passed by . Feeling the power of science, the school math teacher asked us to memorize formulas, the Chinese...

Everyone is talking about the meaning of the film, it seems that there is a great treasure hidden in this dark well, but what I see is a kind of beauty, the beauty of coldness, the beauty of architecture, the beauty of hard lines, the beauty of ice The angular beauty of blocks, the beauty of night,...

Many "masters" have made science fiction, either soft or hard, including the friend and foe of Godard. The problem is that Godard's film is the most pretentious but also the most incomprehensible. Continuing to confuse E=MC^2 shows that Bai is actually an angry youth in literature and art who...
