Sympathy for the Devil 1968 123movies

Watch: Sympathy for the Devil 1968 123movies, Full Movie Online – Godard’s documentation of late 1960s Western counter-culture, examining the Black Panthers, referring to works by LeRoi Jones and Eldridge Cleaver. Other notable subjects are the role of news media, the mediated image, a growing technocratic society, women’s liberation, the May revolt in France and the power of language. Cutting between three major scenes, including the Rolling Stones in the studio, the film is visually intercut with Eve Democracy (Wiazemsky) using graffiti which amalgamates organisations, corporations and ideologies. Godard also examines the role of the revolutionary within Western culture. Although he believes Western culture needs to be destroyed, it can only be done so by the rejection of intellectualisation. “There is only one way to be an intellectual revolutionary, and that is to give up being an intellectual”.
Plot: An exhilarating, provocative motion picture. The Rolling Stones rehearse their latest song, “Sympathy For the Devil,” in a London studio. Beginning as a ballad, the track gradually acquires a pulsating groove, which gets Jagger into a rousing vocal display of soulful emotion that Godard captures on film.

No Sympathy for the Viewer
The film-school intellects can drool all they want about the important (imagined) meaning of this film, but it’s just that: intellectual drool. This film is creatively bankrupt, and some mistake it’s endless self-indulgent wanking as substance. Yeah.

Obviously Godard wasn’t a Stones fan. Too bad, because this could have been great. He’s capturing the birth of this timeless song and he chooses instead to cover the music with some guy reading out of a True Detective mag or some such crap.

Then there’s the endless shots of what looks like 60’s librarians spray-painting words on people’s cars. And then there’s the seemingly neverending “interview” where the actress was brilliantly instructed to answer only yes or no to all the really deep and intellectual questions. There’s some dude in a purple suit is reading more crap from a book, which goes on for, oh, only about 20 minutes. And black panthers or something in a junkyard.

It almost sounds intriguing? Well, it’s not.

But for unwashed film-school hipsters who don’t care squat about the lost opportunities of having full access to the Stones bringing Sympathy for the Devil into the world and would rather hear some English guy reading instead whilst gazing at the covers of nudie mag’s, this film’s a real winner!

More accurately…maybe Godard just blows.
