Godard made a war movie with a rather comical, one might say absurd, protagonist. Against the backdrop of the absurdity, which can be described as stupidity, the protagonist's desires are arguably infinitely amplified, linking human evil to desire, accentuating the horrors of war, and also here orienting the instigator to the hypocritical king.

I was touched to the heart by a scene in which a communist memorizes a poem and stands up for himself without hiding his political leanings, as well as the deeply saddening shot of multiple shots fired even after he is killed later in the film.

The cinema shots are also quite classic and seem to pay homage to many of the films that changed cinema history, such as Train in the Station and one of eating outside symbolized by the background moving I forget what it's called.

Very.
