[lemmycaution001]

Love Hartley and never heard of Godard so thanks for the connection

[sucramnipp]

YO! you totally forgot the shooting scene at the end of band of outsiders and the shooting scene in amateur.

[nicoeyes]

This is great. You must know these movies by heart.

[avastyer]

Hartley isn't imitating. He's putting Godard's scenes in a different context to extract new meanings. Which is what Godard did with everybody, from Dreyer to Ray.

The dance scene from Surviving Desire should have been matched up with Band of Outsiders, not the Sonic Youth dance scene from Simple Men.

[sucramnipp]

@unfun75 nope. the dynamic of 2 men & 1 women dancing together make those scenes comparable. everyone can see the band of outsiders influence in that simple men scene.

[unfun75]

@sucramnipp i don't remember making that comment and if i did make it i don't know what the fuck i was talking about

[butternuts23]

I don't think he's really imitating...I mean he used a line and a technique that Godard did...does that discount his entire contribution?

[helu63]

Hal Hartley, you're a simple imitator...

[evolujo]

Nice, I Dig the connection.
