2 or 3 Things I Know About Her

Personally, this is probably one of my favorite films we've seen so far. Although it sometimes seemed like Juilette was sometimes fluffing up the camera with psuedo-philosophy, often what she had to say was really quite interesting and thoughtful. The idea that maybe things were named incorrectly from the beginning was particularly one that stuck with me. I also enjoyed the way the actors were able to step away from the scene and comment about it from an outside perspective, it was an interesting technique employed, and really added to the experimental nature of the film, I believe. The ideas about prostitution really struck me as well. I don't think Godard only wanted to make the point that desperate women will willinging sell their body, but that any person in desperate situation will sell themselves in some way, even if that way is frowned upon and must be covertly carried out, in order to get by, or in order present themselves in the way they want. In a way, this film was very much about the way people wished to be seen by others, and what they must do to keep up that appearance. Overall though, even though I still left the screening rather confused, I enjoyed the film alot.
