Watch "As You Want"

They believe that movies can express more profoundly like philosophy, novels, painting and other fields, and also have a more superior and free form of expression, so they began to think in movies. Film also eventually became a complete art form on its own, exuding a fatal allure. Each frame of film has never been taken so seriously, and the contents and meanings expressed are more and more dynamic. The directors are no longer satisfied with the limitations of the existing themes and genres. Featured images, the camera has truly become a "fountain pen" in their hands.

"As You Like It" may be familiar to Godard, who has created great works like "Exhausted", and whatever you want can also describe the state of Godard's film creation at this time. Almost artificially elevated to a philosophical level (of course because their focus has shifted) without losing its ultimate romantic and lyrical character. Its dialogue and designed dialogue scenes are so novel. In the scene of Anna and Paul breaking up in the title, we can only see their backs, or we can only see vaguely in the mirror on the opposite bar; It's so clear and interesting that we can only concentrate on listening to the dialogue and observing the occasional part of it.

There are also many passages with mysterious ambiguous and pleasant moments at the same time. In the pinball room, Anna seduces a young man who is playing pool from time to time. Maybe she is just passing the boring time and having some fun, who knows Woolen cloth! The young man bought her a pack of cigarettes, and Anna turned on the jukebox and improvised a dance. The camera followed her and danced around the table to catch her light gait and cheerful expression. Is she pleasing? Maybe it's just for fun! ?

Few films have produced such a captivating image, and you may find more with a little patience, as it is so rich in just 87 minutes!

  • The Philosopher: It's in Plato, you know. It's an old idea. I don't think one can distinguish a thought from the words that express it. A moment of thought can only be grasped through words.
