What is socialism? Socialism is not a beautiful and empty slogan, nor does it mean that everyone is equal in the face of poverty, and that everyone must be equally poor; socialism should firstly develop the productive forces to prove that it is superior to other systems; History answers! Godard's...

Theoretically speaking, it should be enough to get 4 points, but I can't take this hand, maybe because this style is not very pleasing to me, it reminds me of the painful time of reading Roland Barthes, so I will give it 3 points.

I had heard before that there was a period when the student communist...

"Chinese Girl" seems to take our readers back to the distant "Cultural Revolution" era. But to think that this film is just a naive simulation of the "unprecedented" "revolution" by Westerners is to greatly underestimate its impact.

This film is Godard's 14th feature film. Prior to this, as one of...

Godard believed that aesthetics and politics were inseparable. His assertion is even supported by language: the word plan in French means both "lens" and "platform." Godard before 1972 was a staunch Maoist, and the "Dyga Vertov Group" he formed was ready for 1968 as early as 1966. The "Chinese...

I secretly thought that this was a philosophical film, a kind of talkative film. Revolutionary version of Love at the Break of Dawn. It's a dream, because a dream is close to reality. "Is there really a socialism?" "I don't know, I'm still groping." Yes, that is a kind of doctrine, a beautiful...

He left the stage early. Respect to Mr. Director. How charming is an act that knows how to express emotion with lines and colors! (I saw a portrait with a red face and black short beard in Jean-Luc Godard's film "The Chinese Girl") Stalin had red eyes, "Marx emphasized life and science", the...

Le titre de l'album reprend le début d'une célèbre citation de Mao : « La révolution n'est pas un dîner de gala ; elle ne se fait pas comme une œuvre littéraire, un dessin ou une broderie ; elle ne peut s' accomplir avec autant d'élégance, de tranquillité et de délicatesse, ou avec autant de...

By contrast, Véronique (Anne Wiazemsky), the core member of a Marxist-Leninist student group in The Chinese Girl (the film is usually deemed a prescience of May 68), represents another type of rebel who exercise freedom in the name of revolutionary ideals . As Camus proposes, rebellion always goes...

In Godard's film La Chinoise (1967), I see several sequences which separate the narrative from the images. One is the idyllic scene that appears when Yvonne is telling about the hardship of her rural life. One is the exterior scene that flies outside the window when the conversation between...

"To sort out the speculations about leftist thought and revolutionary philosophy in some of the films, I personally disagree with most of them, but I find it interesting and can reflect the background of the times."

The revolution can be carried out peacefully, and there is such a possibility, but...
