The clip or the actual movie?
If the movie, I thought that some of it dragged unnecessarily, but yes, "real cinema" or whatever.

Real cinema of the Internet 2.0 era that is.

No, not the actual movie. It is not 2.0 at all and is therefore irrelevant.

Oh, I see (no I don't). : )
Anyway, I liked the dynamic of having the cops and former employers on your ass. So much could have been done with that material, though, and without making it a "Hollywood" movie either.
It did drag it places. For real.

I'm sorry, the thread is really about this video, not the film.
The film is alright and kind of useless.

i haven't seen this, but i just wanted to say that the french were part of the few who knew what Real Cinema was. i consider godard's new wave period to be the beginning and end of cinema.

Yeah....
Anyway. I think a remake is feasible without disgracing the original. Maybe not. It's just the idea of having the the authorities and ruthless thugs after you very interesting. What can you do? That aspect in the movie wasn't developed to my satisfaction is all.

To be honest, I haven't seen much of Godard. Maybe only Bande à part, which I love, and Norte Musique, which I don't like.

I know I'm stating this with limited knowledge of Godard's work, but Antonioni is a far better filmmaker.

I think I saw Masculin, féminin. Was it another one of those films with quick cuts to poster boards with political messages on them. I don't know. I don't think I liked it. Wait, is it the one where the guy is dating a girl that is trying to become a pop star or something?

You need to see his more recent output, especially Histoire(s) du cinéma. I find it sad that no one seems to care about any of his work past 1967 when there's so much truly beautiful stuff.
And there's also this little video I posted in the first post which should be the centre of your attentiontionstion.

You see, the thing is, I just want to be told a freakin' easy to follow story. None of this quick cut crap fitting in political messages and other hogwash. I finished rewatching Yojimbo and Sanjuro yesterday. Now those movies where great.

trust me, i'm working my way up to his later works. it took me a very long time to find and watch all of his new wave output. thanks to godard i can't watch new movies anymore.

How many levels off the "hip" meter does disliking Godard take you. Do you plunge into the negatives or what?

those movies were great indeed, yojimbo especially. i wish i had the more recent criterions, since my copies have terrible transfers.

i do read books! i just mean that modern movies generally seem so empty and devoid of spirit, compared to early godard films which were so filled with energy and youth and sincerity and love.

Just judging from Norte Musique, Godard is too esoteric.

Do you like Fist Full of Dollars more or less?
I sort of like its ending a tad more than Yojimbo's.
I mean Clint's entrance is fucking fantastic, coming through the smoke of a dynamite explosion. GOD DAMN! And then the "bulletrpoof vest". FUCKING CHRIST! Then the Mexican standoff. FUCKIN' HELL!
