love and contempt

Houston 2022-02-24 08:02:09

The conversation in the room, especially the conversation by the lamp led to the initial estrangement of Mir, and the final break was the call of Mir's inquiry before boarding the yacht, but Paul pretended to be indifferent, Mir turned back many times, but could not see what she wanted desired signal. The relationship between the two has now been irreversible. They discussed the Odyssey before filming of The Boat Odyssey, Paul said he thought Odyssey loved his wife and she didn't love him, Mill retorted that you must not think so. Mill loves Paul, and since she felt hurt by Paul in the room and planned to take revenge, she has been slow to take any action until she returns from the yacht. Maybe what Mill wanted was Paul's confession and actions to prove that he loved her, but she was disappointed. She is only with Jerry to get revenge on Paul, they don't even understand the language, and there are sunglasses, the idea comes from the movie "Cabylia Nights", notice that Mill wears sunglasses last time on a high platform Sunbathing, and she takes off her sunglasses when she sees Paul, and when she is with Jerry, she wears sunglasses all the time and doesn't look at him very much. When the car accident happened, the two of them were on both sides of the car. If they were in love People should hold together, I believe that Mill still loved Paul until the end. Behind the contempt is still unbreakable love, but she can't continue to be with Paul, and the car accident before the end, is it what Mill wants, or even if she deliberately arranged it, I don't know.

    Language barriers, emotional disorders, the tunnel structure of indoor dramas, the ink-and-wash atmosphere of outdoor dramas, and the seemingly careless movements of the characters, but in fact they take every step. The pinnacle of space imaging. Godard's heart is so delicate that he has to arm himself with extreme simplicity and rudeness.

    Even though Godard is always too 'accent' for me, this one is really well done, with a cameo by Fritz Lang! The only downside is the repeated use of the same overly grand soundtrack... The architects may be fond of the location in the back quarter of the film, Casa Malaparte, a seaside villa in Italy.

Contempt quotes

  • Paul Javal: It looks swell. I really like CinemaScope.

    Fritz Lang: It wasn't made for people. It's only good for snakes - and funerals.

  • [after viewing film shot by Fritz Lang]

    Jerry Prokosch: You've cheated me, Fritz. That's not what is in that script.

    Fritz Lang: It is!

    [he pulls the script away from Jerry, who is attempting to grab it out of his hand]

    Fritz Lang: Oh, no!

    Jerry Prokosch: Get the script, Francesca.

    [he reads the script and then changes his tone]

    Jerry Prokosch: Yes, it's in the script. But it's not what you have on that screen.

    Fritz Lang: Naturally, because in the script it is written, and on the screen it's pictures. Motion picture, it's called.
