Jean-Luc Godard - Cinématon #106

[demonswoop]

Pity the youtubers who cannot navigate the waters of vision without the aid of MUSIC! COMMENTARY! DIALOGUE! ACTION! You are the enemy of cinema. Long live Godard, and the beauty of silence.

[MrKvace]

@demonswoop I respect your opinion, but I'm afraid I just don't understand.Where is this vision? All I see is a man who has a knack for lung cancer doing absolutely nothing. I could do the exact same thing; mute the audio, smoke a cigar, and read a piece of paper in front of a camera while glancing away from it once or twice. I just don't see it. Is this art? The Old Guitarist by Picasso is art, which is just full of expression. But this? I cannot see or feel any sense of emotion.

i love the idea behind it, but without any sort of commentary or music is is very dull and bland.

[kay4x]

the longest, but the most boring movie. wth ? 32 years? for that ? ...you can see a man . he´s sitting. whats so interesting about that? MOFUS

[The4LA2Baker0]

Is this part of that 152 hour long silent film "Cinématon"?

If so, that film most be the cinematic version of Chinese water torture.

[Applemask]

@The4LA2Baker0 Well, if you're going to do something dumb like sit there for six days, instead of browsing through the shorts on YouTube, you only have yourself to blame.

[The4LA2Baker0]

@Applemask you dont understand, they actually played it in a theater for 6 days.

[Applemask]

@The4LA2Baker0 Yeah, but only the dumb and pretentious would have gone for six days.

[rouhania976]

@The4LA2Baker0 Yes it is :)

[elchascon]

Boring...

[Pepilotaaa]

He is one of my favourite directors of all time !! Love him :) And I think that he was the most radical dierctor from Nouvelle Vague ...Like his movies style,,usually very intellectual, poetic......

[gingerbreadface]

Godard is one of the absolute worst film directors of all time. Even the very worst Hollywood hacks have more artistic integrity than him.

[Beatmeup66]

really? why do you say?

[Saturnome]

This was playing in the Cinematek in Belgium, along with other screen showing other filmmakers.

[RonAlmeida]

Warhol made a 9 hour long film of a man asleep. I once had the opportunity to develop some of Godards film footage, while working at a cine lab in Switzerland. Though I never saw him in real life.

I am God because you think I am God. Hey God, Did that little bit of hair at the front of your head get all dry and flaky like mine does some time?

[pikochanchan]

John Kage?

[pishdad]

I don't get it! What the hell is this? It's totally silent and I don't get these comments!!!

[BenHudsonBen]

Godard was born here he had no choice He was born with the gift of a golden voice

[cactaceous]

Nah, the man with the golden voice is still Cohen. Godard was born with the gift of a golden mind.

JLG - Pierrot Le Fou!

[KahnBB6]

Lovely idea. So many moments in this length of time that could be considered for that one snapshot for all posterity-- why limit the onlooker to just the photographer's choice? I think there is great value in the choice of snapping the shutter as it represents a point of view and style... but the acknowledgement that far more exists is certainly welcome.

[darcy27]

Godard is so cool!!!!!!
