I think jump cut isnt a bad thing if you use it properly. it looks catchy and unique imo xD

all french people do is smoke and talk about sleeping together

[MyOwnPrisonBreak]

@240soundwave Well as far as stereotypes go, that one's pretty nice, wouldn't you say?

[Alphabex8]

@240soundwave better than promoting salvation and fearing sex.

@Alphabex8 touché 

[Alphabex8]

@240soundwave HEY. how'd you get the accent aigu?

While some people may complain about jump cuts being confusing, I find them to be amazingly engrossing, like many of the techniques Godard uses. His films are attractive not because of their plot, but because of their endless creativity. Watching Godard is like reading Joyce - it might not click upon first glance, but the amazingly creative approach is enough to merit a return to the work and grant further understanding.

Why aren't movies like this made today? - with great music, great everything? (and no special effects) ????

[Squibfire]

@jazzgirl232 there are movies like that, directors like Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, The Coen Bros. David Fincher, Wes Anderson, all have truly terrific films, and we still have incredible movies coming out from older directors like Terry Gilliam and Woody Allen (and if great music is your thing Tarantino and Wes Anderson especially take the cake lol)

[Genixel]

@jazzgirl232 And no special effects?

You'll be ever so surprised over how much is done in post'. It's not just sparks/explosions, it's stuff like, entire streets that they add in.

[olliemckenzie]

Godard pioneered the jump cut.

"Breathless" was a very spontaneous shoot.

How amazing are the lines these actors get to rattle off!

[swhertha]
