this is absolutely unrelatable content, but i just wanted to say that the french new wave is boring. very boring. i watched half of just one godard movie and it felt like four hours had passed. nothing happened and then everything happened and theres some jumpcuts. some artsy abstract bullshit was in the middle and the only explanation you’ll get is “you see! it’s a movie! the filmmaker can do whatever he wants and he decided to break conventions by doing this arbitrary thing!” and i mean yeah that’s great but you know what else is great? not watching this

#brunsposts #nouvelle vague sucks ass #you can like it all you want. i still am not gonna praise it #also from what ive seen godard is an old prick who hates phones now or whatever?#anyway catch me watching italian neorrealism. i'd watch bicycle thief for the fifth time before i watched even one nouvelle vague movie #film school rly does give you the perspective that. yes. things can be revolutionary. you can recognize that #while ALSO recognizing that some of those revolutionary movies are as boring as watching paint dry #anyway. i prefer the aesthetic and existential dread of neorrealism because now those are movies without the bullshit
