Alphaville, 1965.

I was half-expecting the second part to say "baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me no more." Still, Alphaville is my favorite Jean-Luc Godard movie of all time, not just because I like the plot and the characters, but also because stylistically, the movie feels like it invented some of the tropes I see in my favorite 70s/80s action movies. I'm not usually a fan of remakes, but I feel like a remake that deals with more contemporary themes, such as the polarization of politics and the rise of generative AI, could be a big hit if done right.

Usually, whenever I have "movie night", I tend to watch 70s-80s action/exploitation/grindhouse movies. However, this month, I've been doing something a little different, what I call "Jeanuary". Basically, I've been watching the movies of the late Jean-Luc Godard, and the most recent one I watched was Alphaville, starring Eddie Constantine as secret agent Lemmy Caution. I thought it was a very good movie because not only did it have elements of film noir, but it even used a couple of tropes from the 70s-80s movies I like so much. I would DEFINITELY watch again!
