/tv/ is Godard a meme?
no, but:
late Godard > early Godard
godard was once a maoist who championed the murderous ideology of mao zedong and the khmer rouge. we condemn griffith and riefenstahl of their political sins, but griffith serioiusly tried to prove he was not a hater after 'birth of a nation'. and riefenstahl insisted she loathed nazism but had simply done as told. maybe they were full of shit but at least they tried to publicly distance themselves from extreme politics.
not godard who espoused the most extreme, murderous, and destructive form of leftism. film scholars, so outraged about long dead griffith and long irrelevant riefenstahl, never demanded of godard to face up to his past sins. unlike kurosawa and bergman who candidly confessed their cowardice in face or approval of, respectively, japanese militarism and nazism, godard has never ever apologized in general, or in specific to the countless victims of the tyrants he supported with all his heart.
godard celebrated and championed mao's total destruction of culture and intellectual life and the khmer rouge that transformed camodia overnight into a genocidal stone age marxist state. fuck that piece of shit.

I have Band a parte in it's Netflix sleeve sitting on my desk waiting to be watched. I really enjoy his movies that I've seen so far. I'm trying to see a bunch of them before he dies so I won't have to just pretend I was a huge fan.

how could godard living in a free democratic society not have known about the evils of maoism? that during godard's maoist period, the cultural revolution raged in china leading to burning of nearly all books in universities, destruction of priceless ancient treasures, torture and murder of professors and intellectuals, violence in the streets and wars between students and soldiers which led to death of millions? leni had hitler breathing down her neck and had no choice. godard had a choice. but he willingly sided with mao who had killed at least 40 million people by the late 60s.
surely godard saw news documentaries and knew that commie pageantry was far bigger and more hysterical than anything staged by hitler. surely he knew maoism was a form of xenophobic cultish fascism. yet, why did this man throw his lot with mao? mao's agricultural policies were disastrous. during the great leap forward 30 million chinese died. while the population doubled under mao thanks to his forbiddance of family planning and contraception, food production was about the same in the 70s as it was in the 50s. when deng came to power, in one year china's agricultural output doubled!! in one goddamn year!!! yet, in first name carmen, godard glibly said 'mao was a great cook. he fed a billion people' and this asshole lowlife is considered a great genius, a moral beacon.
he's a scumbag worse than leni and as long as you hipster fucks continue to wipe his infantile spoiled ass, don't mess with my bitch leni.
