The most interesting part of Two or Three Things I Know About Her for me was the role commodity played in the movie. This is mostly because it wasn't immediately apparent for me until Prof. Doane's lecture on Tuesday. The role of prostitution in the movie, and in any society, seems to me to be the ultimate form of commodity exchange. One can argue that in an environment of constant and fluid exchange, the only entity one truly and irrevocably possesses is one's own body. Prostitution is so extreme because it means giving that one thing up in exchange for goods of necessarily lesser value.

The context of prostitution in Godard's movie also played an important role in the sub-text of commodity exchange throughout. This prostitution was not occurring on the street, but in fact between men and married, suburban, middle-class women in organized brothels, emphasizing the fact that every part of a capitalist society is based on exchange, however extreme it may be.

There was a quote at one point in the movie, I don't remember it exactly but it was something about cities being forms existing in space. I was reminded of this quote during Godard's final shot of the products on the lawn: they were simply forms existing in space. I interpreted this to mean that cities are made up of nothing more than commodities themselves.
