Jean-Luc Godard, who died at the age of 91, is one of the people who made history in the world of cinema.
The French-Swiss national came to the world's attention at the end of 1950, where he became a leader in the film industry in France called New Wave, where he directed the best films for more than 50 years.
Here are nine things we know about him.
1. He changed the film industry with a girl with a gun What you are looking for to make a film, according to Godard, is "the girl with the gun".
He also confirmed this in the film he produced in 1960 called Breathless.
The girl who appeared in Patricia's show, is with a terrorist Michel, who is wanted for killing a policeman.
She tricked him where the police managed to shoot him.
The film 'Breathless' is similar to a terrorist program, but most of Godard's work shows the culture and the use of photography in the cinema.
He can also rely on a budget that does not break down and generate a lot of profit.## Almost 60 years later, Godard's influence is still felt in the film industry.
He came up with a picture cutting system Another thing understood in the program Breathless is the ability to use images.
Editing is very important in the film industry, and that's what Godard was good at, which made his film Breathless stand out at the time.
This attracted the viewer's attention, especially the scene of Michel's concern. 3. He changed the way of writing a story There are also other skills that he has. Breathless was filmed live, using a handheld camera, with Godard writing a story that day, reading it to his crew and imitating it on the spot.
This is different from what is usually seen, where expensive equipment will be used and a lot of money will be spent to collect workers.
The skill that Godard used in his Breathless program made him stand out, and he did it in many of his films, where you can see the stars of his films will come to the set but they don't know the words. They will not say anything except there.
4. He really likes the gallery Godard is a man who is passionate about the art gallery.## Before he became a director or a film producer, he used to go to the theater to watch movies. He is a man who is proven to be able to watch one movie many times in one day.
Like other experts in the film industry at that time, he used to steal words, thus he used to explain how he thought the theater and theater should be, before he started to explain it in reality.
5. He always comes up with new programs The movie Breathless alone is enough to prove Godard's experience in filmmaking, but he didn't stop there.## The IMDB site lists more than 100 works, including short and feature films and even feature films.
But the year 1960 was the most watched of his films. In 1961, his show 'A Woman Is a Woman', followed by 'Alphaville' in 1965.## There is also his comedy 'Weekend' which appeared with Emil Bronte in 1967.
After the program 'Weekend', he became involved in politics, as a reformist like Marxists, where he started producing films imitating such ideologies in 1972, such as the film All's Well.
Many years later he made a film that talks about history, and even made one that talks about history itself as a cinema or a theater.
Then in 2014, when he was in his 80s, he released a 3D art product called Goodbye to Language.
6. He got sales The kind of acceptance he got from the audience made Godard get sales from businessmen. In addition to making films, Godard is a very well-read person.
He also collaborated with well-known writers at that time such as the German writer Bertolt Brecht.
Many of Godard's films use Brecht's style, such as his 1967 film La Chinoise.
7. He imitates his behavior In most of his works, Godard used to make his stars imitate some of the values or other ideologies that he was satisfied with.
In his program Le Mepris in 1963, the film star Michel Piccoli appeared as a French writer and film producer, where he also became the director of a film called 'Adaptation of Ulysses.
The film shows the conflict between business and art, and the problems of married life, which is similar to the one that Godard faced between him and Anna Karina, who was involved in many of his productions.
The star is ready to show his character, which led him to make preparations for his biography JLG/JLG- Self-Portrait.
Then in 2018 he made programs with his voice titled 'The Image Book'.
American film critic Roger Ebert described Godard as a filmmaker in his world, and according to him, Godard's films are exciting and frustrating.
8. It is a difficult business Godard is known as a man who is difficult to deal with as a human being and the way he conducts his work.
His two marriages, first with Anna Karina and Anne Wiazemsky, both came with problems, something he showed in his films.
There was a time when he met the film producer Iain Quarrier, over a disagreement after the release of his film 'Sympathy for the Devil' in 1968 after showing the film in London.
