    When watching a movie, I think of words like doing whatever you want, cute and unbelievable. It’s not an exaggeration. Whoever sees it is stunned. The mood of watching Godard’s movies is too complicated. Sometimes I think he is too far away from the audience, and sometimes he feels that his talent is unique. , Um, this photography is very beautiful.
