I think you're generally correct. I believe that whilst Goddard ridicules Miss 19 here, in the context of the film, this scene's ambiguous; "Miss 19" displays her wilful ignorance & refuses to participate in the world in any true sense, but at the same time, Paul displays a foolishness all of his own who (& here is where most critiques falter) in his unwillingness to recognise the pragmatist wisdom of the woman, ridicules her in a dogmatic form which is the great fault of the masculine position.

She's only a "consumer product" In the sense that she's the interviewee, a product that is consumed by the interviewer. The interviewer gets to pick her and the interviewer gets to ask the questions according to his liking

You can be the smartest person in the world, but if an interviewer questions you long enough, they'll find something you're weak in and make you look like an idiot

Interesting scene from the movie Masculin Feminin by Elsa Leroy. She sang a nice cover of the Beau Brummels song, here: Elsa Leroy / Mieux vaut tard que jamais [Just A Little] (1966)

It's frightening... Could you imagine, if already in 1965 you have people like this girl, how could be this dialogue nowadays? "- Hey, waz up? - cool... - true..." It's sad, very sad. Things is getting worse.

This young woman is great. She gently bats away all the intellectual bullshit the interviewer lobs at her. I love Godard, he reinvented cinema. But this is when he started to believe the empty marxist baloney he was spewing. I'm sure at the time this gal was perceived as vacuous but to me she represents optimism and a desire for a better life.

"She gently bats away all the intellectual bullshit the interviewer lobs at her." Yeah, thinking is such a pretentious waste of time, isn't it?

I always felt sorry for this chick. She'll be known to moviegoers forever as the Ignorant Miss 19, and she surely didn't ask for Godard's political harangue. I'd like to go on record saying that I admire Godard very much and think MASCULIN FEMININ one of his better movies, but this scene always makes me cringe.

Why feel sorry for this girl. I thought she handled the questions with tact, patience, honesty, and articulacy. She may be ignorant about politics, but everyone is ignorant about something. She may be ignorant about football as well. So what. Football, like politics, is not everyone's bag.

This is not symmetrical, of course (for all the ridiculous scenes with Paul, he's never described as "A consumer product,"), but Paul's final reflections before the scene about his death gives away the foolishness he displayed in this interview. Of course, I could be misreading Goddard here, but it seems to me this film is about the irreducible gap between Man and Woman, and I believe what I've said fits within that theme, whilst still giving deference to his Marxist ideas.

Effet Julien Lepers, interview nul. Chantal Goya d'une beauté radieuse.
