Jean Rouch (31 May 1917, Paris – 18 February 2004, Niger) was a French filmmaker and anthropologist.
He is considered to be one of the founders of the cinéma vérité in France, which shared the aesthetics of the direct cinema spearheaded by Richard Leacock, D.A. Pennebaker and Albert and David Maysles. Rouch's practice as a filmmaker for over sixty years in Africa, was characterized by the idea of shared anthropology. Influenced by his discovery of surrealism in his early twenties, many of his films blur the line between fiction and documentary, creating a new style of ethnofiction. He was also hailed by the French New Wave as one of theirs. His seminal film Me a Black (Moi, un noir) pioneered the technique of jump cut popularized by Jean-Luc Godard. Godard said of Rouch in the Cahiers du Cinéma (Notebooks on Cinema) n°94 April 1959, "In charge of research for the Musée de l'Homme (French, "Museum of Man") Is there a better definition for a filmmaker?" Along his career, Rouch was no stranger to controversy. He would often repeat, "Glory to he who brings dispute."
Last time I she'd a tear, was when my father died
But now he's good up in the skies
So I'm gonna make this song crack
I see them haters looking at me
Tryna indict my soul
Tryna read me, tryna see what I know, haha but no
Feel the night
I got no pain to share with you, all right
Though we can share it, about to live your life
Living along, just enjoy your life, enjoy your life
Celebrate in the name of love
Celebrate in the name of love
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
Don't you worry, oh oh oh
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
Don't you worry, oh oh oh
Cante y no llores, el amor es lleno dolores mami
I want you to listen, don't hear me
I want you respect me, don't feel me
This life is crazy, baby,
Now I want you near me, help me
Cuba, miami to paris, life is short, let's cherish
I'mma kill this, make love to you,
With you and your girl on top of the terrace
I'mma feel this, and since my father died
Baby, I'm tearless, I see the future
But I live for the moment
Makes and astoments
Time is money
I don't know about you, but I own it dale
Feel the vibe
Now we can done it here, you soaked tonight
Let's take it higher, fly the satellite
No one can take away my inner life, inner life
Celebrate in the name of love
Celebrate in the name of love
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
Don't you worry, oh oh oh
Never felt this good
Don't you worry
I'm feeling like I should, ooh woah
Never felt this good
