    Marnie

    I enjoyed watching "Marnie" because of its intriguing way of telling a hidden story. "Marnie" and "Vertigo" have very similar lead characters, but their plots are very different. I personally liked the plot of "Marnie" better. It started out confusing with unanswered questions, like "Vertigo", but towards the middle the confusing elements started to make sense, unlike "Vertigo". Overall, I think "Marnie" was a great movie.

The sequence goes back and forth with the present and the future to symbolize the intentions of the girls. The editing style is very Godard because even though the shots go back and forth, they are so quick that its confusing to notice what actually going on in the plot.

    In the film “Breathless”, Godard uses many editing techniques to “break the rules”. One example of this is, in the sequence where Michel visits his friend who is an actress, where the techniques of elliptical editing is used. In the film, the sequence was about 3 minters, but in real time it probably was about a half an hour. Using this techniques, Godard enhances the sequence by allowing the audience to understand that time has gone by without really experiencing the time.
