    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...

    At the end, I think of Cavafy's Ithaca, I hope you have a long road. Unfortunately, life is full of misery. Just like the men and women in the film have weaknesses, and that is human...

    The opening scene is the most exciting: the voiceover's oral cast, the meeting of the director's camera and the screen camera, Frieze Lang plays Frieze Lang, and Brigitte Bardot plays a fictional blonde beauty. Godard's first color film, the discussion of cinema and reality begins at this...

    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...

    The male protagonist is Godard's incarnation. In the film, he is a playwright who is despised by his wife, producer, unspoken rules of commercial films, and secular culture. In fact, he expresses Godard's blatant contempt for vulgarity. The lens is very beautiful, the soundtrack is very good, and the film is shown in the film archive. Compared with the digital film, the roughness of the film is...

    Manipulate the symbols of sound and picture to express the title credit table, use the narration to read the abstract representation of the photographer and the staff in the movie and so on. The public image of a reflexive actor in the selection of actors has become the preset knowledge that movie audiences have to bring into the movie, so as to establish a certain kind of symbolic matrix logic before watching the movie. Many people say that Godard is a film essayist. In fact, he lacks the...

    This is the standard when I was a child, I watched it carefully and then thought about how to understand this film. Now I watch it for a quarter of an hour, then I start to pull the scroll bar to end, and then I delete the one I thought, alright, and saved more than an hour of life. … . But Zhang Yimou's "A Thousand Miles Riding Alone" is a bit of a...

    Looking at the archive, the love or not between husband and wife is endless, and I yawn again and again; three-color filter, BB's butt, Odyssey's intertext, arrogant Yankee, elopement; Not my thing, I like Truffaut's "Night and Day" a lot more; Fritz Lang appeared on the scene and silently added a...

    [Screening at the China Film Archive] All aspects are distinctive and worthy of praise: the plot is a contemporary film version of the story of "The Odyssey". The opening narration reading the cast and crew + three-color change is very unique. In addition to the beauty of Brigitte Bardot, the actor Fritz Lang's cameo is also surprising enough. As for the recurring soundtrack, I personally feel that the use is in place, and there is no sense of boredom. It's just that the couple's quarrel is...

    The trivialities of life occupy a huge space, but in the second half it refers to the eternal proposition of "Ulysses", which reminds me of Joyce's hard-to-read novel of the same name, which also provides insight into human nature in the extreme triviality of real life the truth. Godard's expression is still slightly unacceptable. Fritz Lang looks like Ben Kingsley. @...

    Analysis of Paul's first scene with the producer

    This film Contempt/Le mépris (Jean-Luc Godard 1963)begins with a long shot of Paul's absolute love for Camille, setting the tone for the emotional starting point of the film. Then, after producer Jeremy intervenes with a crude, out-of-place sense from the English-speaking world, Paul shows a...

    The irreversible pimple and the new wave

    Modernity and Director's Will

    Shooting a film about a movie without the way it was filmed felt extraordinary.
