“I think us Asians have a certain nuance with people — qing — that foreign people I just don’t think have. Watching A Better Tomorrow and those John Woo movies — they don’t see the stuff that we see. We see that kinship between males and friends; they see bullets flying around and action sequences. So it’s a different thing that I think we have.”

“

Sitting there, alone in a foreign country, far from my job and everyone I know, a feeling came over me. It was like remembering something I’d never known before or had always been waiting for, but I didn’t know what.



Maybe it was something I’d forgotten or something I’ve been missing all my life. All I can say is that I felt, at the same time, joy and sadness. But not too much sadness, because I felt alive.



Yes, alive.

“I’ve never gotten anything out of his movies. They have felt constructed, faux intellectual and completely dead. Cinematographically uninteresting and infinitely boring. Godard is a fucking bore. He’s made his films for the critics. One of the movies, Masculin, féminin, was shot here in Sweden. It was mindnumbingly boring.”

Ingmar Bergman on Jean-Luc Godard (via nordified)

Hahahaha. That’s a bit of a strong reaction, but I have to admit, after you get over the novelty of some of his filmmaking tricks, it’s easy to lose interest. A lot of the wit is superficial and stylistic (well, at least in the ones I’ve seen). However, there is a certain charm in the actors and their performances which I believe is what many people like about his films. To me, his films have always been mostly just about style. So, I suppose that kind of reaction isn’t a surprise.
