This was a great film; no doubt it was relatable on many levels. Godard’s ambiguity as to which “her” he’s referring to just ads to the likeability of this film because he allows the audience to interpret his films purpose in so many ways. What I liked about this film was its presentation; it reminded me a lot of the film The Great Gatsby because both incorporate lots of vivid colors, and dramatic imagery. They also incorporate scenes that are very different, but remain connected by a common landmark or point of reflection. For example, the billboard in The Great Gatsby is similar to the crane in Two or Three Things I Know About Her.

I rarely remember characters names the first time I watch a film but I vividly remember the character Paulette; elle était si adorable; I honestly feel as if I related with her thoughts more than any other character throughout the film. I can’t pinpoint it now, but her attitude and reflection upon her day reminded me a lot about how I look at things sometimes.

Lastly, one of my favorite scenes was the one in the coffee shop when juliette’s husband was conversing with that random lady. I thought it was extremely clever cause hse was being a flirt but got shot down when she was challenged over what I assume were her intensions. When she was asked to repeat the phrase, I really thought she would, but she was the perfect representation of the immaturity of people when it comes to talking about sex. If you are willing to do it and parade yourself in front of others, then you shouldn’t be afraid to talk about it. Juliette’s husband’s statement was extremely valid and not inappropriate whatsoever but it was still a challenge for her to repeat it, and I found that unfortunate. [p.s. it was quite funny how they had a big busted lady playing pinball very aggressively when the talk was getting heated, and tamer when the topic was fizzling down.]

Good Film!!!
